Loved that place. Remember reading an article about Donald Manes, the "PVC Bagman" in the sweeping 1980s corruption scandals, committing suicide while I was sitting at the sushi bar. Ah, the good old Koch NY days.<br /><br />But thanks for the tip re her 9th Street place, had no idea she was still around.

She was Japanese and her (deceased) husband was Italian. They had a nice outdoor patio where I spent many a warm summer's evening having dinner and a cocktail or two or three or four. She and her granddaughter lived upstairs. Well, I found out by chance that she reopened at a different location and went to visit. It was a lovely reunion and I go there occasionally. It's not the same as at the old place, but at least it hasn't totally disappeared. <br />Her new place is called "212 Hisae's" and it's located at 212 East 9th Street. http://www.menupages.com/restaurants/212-hisaes/menuWalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416518509228779720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-30532143683134202792017-06-20T08:59:58.410-04:002017-06-20T08:59:58.410-04:00I never knew where Amiri Baraka (then LeRoi Jones)...I never knew where Amiri Baraka (then LeRoi Jones), Hettie Jones, Archie Shepp, and other major cultural figures from that era lived, so I'm <b>very happy</b> to hear that at least something of that era isn't being hypergentrified out of existence, i.e., destroyed, in favor of yet another luxury tower or hotel for the soulless global rich!John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08073378940347627766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-393781685359123892017-06-20T07:31:29.088-04:002017-06-20T07:31:29.088-04:00The loss of #35 is still one of the greatest acts ...The loss of #35 is still one of the greatest acts of cultural vandalism perpetrated against this neighborhood - and all so some out-of-town developer could swoop in, destroy a piece of history, and profit off the resulting pile of shit he built in its stead.Gojiranoreply@blogger.com
