I have a personal interest that the place will not be very noisy neighbor.<br /><br />2. Before having a knee jerk reaction of not another sidewalk cafe, analyze the situation. I believe this will be the southernmost outdoor cafe on all of 2nd Avenue. It will be a nice bookend on this side of 2 Ave. between 3 & 4 streets. There is nothing on the east side of the street from here to Houston Street. I can't fully do the western side of 2 Ave. from memory, but I don't believe there are any outdoor tables there. <br /><br />3. The city painted the place under their graffiti removal program. Your tax dollars at work. It had to be done.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-17443946877922754912010-05-07T13:36:14.696-04:002010-05-07T13:36:14.696-04:00Well said, Goggla.

If it were on Governor's Island, wouldn't that give people inspiration to travel out there for a good time? This is just going to spark another EV battle that will end badly for both business and residents.Laura Goggin Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517481509431547970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-43501508100509675682010-05-07T12:48:46.859-04:002010-05-07T12:48:46.859-04:00oh goody, more frattie-foodie drunks. gag me with ...oh goody, more frattie-foodie drunks. gag me with a mussel.marjoriehttp://marjorieingall.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-89347998116463607662010-05-07T12:44:01.950-04:002010-05-07T12:44:01.950-04:00@ Jeremiah.

But I'm wondering if they say no to the sidewalk portion until they prove to be good neighbors? Many Second Ave. residents have turned out for the last two CB3/SLA meetings — and none are pleased with the sidewalk cafe nightlight along here.... how many cafes are there from, say, Sixth Street to here?EV Grievehttp://evgrieve.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-36108584183447082522010-05-07T11:13:36.719-04:002010-05-07T11:13:36.719-04:00This is definitely going to get CB approval.
