Meanwhile, at the East Village IHOP...

  4. I cannot believe I am looking at an East Village scene. When I moved here a decade ago I would not have believed that things could turn out like this.

    Impressive work. Sort of Henri Cartier-Bresson-ish with color.

  11. Funny, but they're actually smarter than most of them...who stumble around screaming and puking and passing out on the street. Going to ihop is a slightly more responsible choice.

  13. I'm not making fun of these guys. I was younger once, and did stupid shit like fall asleep in public. But I can't recall a time when EVERYONE with me also passed out at the same time.

  18. hilarious to me that bums sleeping on city streets lying in their own excrement is cool to you all but a few kids passing out at IHOP is an assault on your senses. Reality check please.

  20. Reality check please.

    For real. It's certainly lame that we have an IHOP on 14th. Maybe it's lame that they chose to eat there (what else was open?). It's pretty dumb to sleep with your phone lying out on the table. But that they fell asleep, who gives a shit? I find it amusing that they're all passed out but to think this photo defines the decline of the neighborhood is just about the dumbest thing I've ever read.

  21. Can you say "sugar crash"?

  22. Cargo shorts and flip-flops and popped collar, oh, my. Toto, I don't think we're in the EV or NYC anymore.
