Ray gets a new lease, an A rating (and a new shirt) on the same day



As we first noted yesterday, Ray has a new one-year lease for Ray's Candy Store on Avenue A. There had been some speculation that he might face a stiff rent hike, though, as it turns out, that wasn't the case.

As if that wasn't enough... the DOH paid a visit the other day... and Ray is now proudly showing off his new A rating...



Because you know, it hasn't always gone so well here... whether with the DOH ... or the lease...

Shawn Chittle, who took these photos, talked with Ray last night... Turns out there are other new things in Ray's life aside from a lease and an A rating...

    Just GREAT to hear all the good news - I'm very happy for you, Ray! He was there serving coffee and tea by candlelight without power after the hurricane. I was amazed to see that - even though I just had a cup of joe I stopped in and got another just to support this great man and institution. Many MANY more years for you (both). BRAVO!!!! Love ya, man!
