When Abraço is away...

On Seventh Street, the folks who run the popular coffee shop Abraço took a few days off...



On Monday night, I spotted Carl in a beer-induced slumber out front... (You may know Carl as "Santa Claus" from the pages of Neither More Nor Less)



I didn't think much of this, until a reader sent me an e-mail saying that, later on Monday night, Carl and a friend turned this spot into an encampment with papers, blankets and more beer cans. The reader described it as an "old-time East Village scene."
