  2. that Stomp line is out of control. i walked by it this weekend and everyone had to walk in the bike lane just to get down the block. those people come in by the busload.

  3. Stomp is a well-done show, at least when I saw it a decade ago (twice, in fact, with two different versions of the cast). More power to them if they can keep the success going.

    As for the sidewalk congestion problem, let's not blame Stomp for that. Let's have the sidewalks widened. The Avenues aren't as problematic as the numbered streets in the in the East Village, though, where there is often no space to pass another person past the garbage sculptures, parking meters, magazine racks, mailboxes, and mobile-phone zombies...
