Gutting Arlo & Esme

Bread and Butta is toast

Reader Dianeb sends along the photo and news that Bread and Butta on Avenue C near 11th Street has closed... there's a "so long and thanks" sign on the door of the coffee shop...

After a series of setbacks, the cafe finally opened last May...

Thanks to EV Grieve reader Jeffrey for this shot looking down on Broadway and 10th Street...

Snow job

Why is the deli on Third Street and Avenue A closed?

Anyone? Wasn't open earlier today either...

Earlier today

Cooper Square Hotel still tagged

The Cooper Square Hotel fence was tagged Friday night/Saturday morning...

Yesterday!

I was actually a little surprised to see the tag still there today...

Back in May, the Cooper Hotel staff quickly removed a tag... Or is this part of the hotel's new art installation?
