ABC+No+Rio

ABC No Rio began in 1980 when the Real Estate Show, sponsored by Collaborative Projects, was "relocated" from an occupied storefront at 123 Delancey Street to 156 Rivington Street. In 2006 the latest group of people running the ABC No Rio succeeded in acquiring the building from the City of New York.
