In 1980, photographers Brian Rose and Ed Faustry embarked on an ambitious project to photograph a number of buildings, storefronts and streets of the Lower East Side. Tonight at the Mid-Manhattan Library, Brian Rose will be discussing his fantastic new book, Time and Space on the Lower East Side, which offers dozens of beautiful "then and now" images.

We posted this photo by Brian last year.

    Great photography. I'm guessing that vacant lot is where Jardin del Paraiso now stands?

    Why the photo of Ukrainian East Village Restaurant? It isn't closing, is it? That would not be good.

    It's not closing... I like the neon (and the restaurant!) ... The photo is nothing more than an appreciation.
