    I'm a very mild mannered man. Never looking for trouble. But this fucking asshole place called "Virage" on East 7th Street and 2nd Avenue is appropriating more and more of the sidewalk. Never seen any familiar faces in that place. I will call 311 on them on a daily basis. Would be nice if some of you would join suit.

    I'm fucking sick and tired of having these chi-chi al fresco places occupying half the fucking sidewalk. This stupid 'Virage' place has its tables and chairs occupying more than half of the sidewalk. So they create a bottle-neck, where people have to move out into the street to get passage. PS: Never saw a face in that place that looked familiar from the neighborhood. It's a legacy from Bloomberg, who thought he could turn New York into a picturesque small European town. Well, guess what...it'll never happen. This is not Florence.
