What Koi needs on the Bowery
Fresh graffiti on the old Koi notice on the Bowery. And the second part is difficult to make out. Soporific?

Fall?
At the start of every summer, I always say that I'll go see one of the HBO Bryant Park Summer Film Festival films. But I never do it. Afraid I'll start throwing picnic baskets. And tonight is the last one for the summer of 2009. Just as well. It's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." I'd be lost: I haven't seen the first two. (Boo! Hiss!)
And now I see New York has its annual Fall Fashion issue. Fall? I'd like a do-over on June, please. And I'd like to go see "Dog Day Afternoon" on July 6.
6:20 and I'm finally reading the Times
Did you see the lead to the piece in the Times today titled, City’s Poor Still Distrust Banks?:
Today, despite a bank branch on seemingly every corner throughout the city, the article notes:
In 1986, when the Lower East Side had just one bank in a 100-square block area...
Today, despite a bank branch on seemingly every corner throughout the city, the article notes:
In Manhattan, long the world’s banking capital, 12 percent of households still do not have a bank account... 91,100 Manhattan households feel more comfortable hiding their savings in closets, in pillows — even in brown paper lunch bags. They rely on check-cashers and corner bodegas for cash and post offices for money orders, even as banks are more accessible than ever: the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation reports 682 banks in the borough in 2008, compared with 521 in 2004 — a more than 30 percent increase.
Who will be the next tenant for the former CBGB Gallery?
As Racked reported, the Morrison Hotel on the Bowery -- former site of the CBGB Gallery -- is moving...
...and the "for lease" signs are up now...
Have you read the listing for the property?
It's good. Real good.

Coming soon: A gourmet deli to go with your karaoke on St. Mark's Place
I wondered how the karaoke joint on St. Marks's at the former home of Mondo Kim's would fill up all that space...
According to plans on the door, we may be in for a gourmet deli.
Seems to make sense. There's already another karaoke place across the street... might as well have another gourmet deli like the one across the street to match...

New world order for Avenue C?
Just posting a, uh, post that I did for Curbed last week.
For sale signs went up [last] week at the Lower Manhattan Congregation Jehovah's Witness at 67 Avenue C near East 5th Street. According to the Massey Knakal listing for the property, the space "is ideal for a user, investor or developer and will be delivered vacant." Indeed; asking $2.2 million.

A note for the people on the terrace tossing sandals and doing things that "should be done in private"
Noticed a sign on door yesterday morning for residents of 151 E. Third St. at Avenue A.
And what did it say?

One less reason for Sarah Jessica Parker to visit the EV
MoMo FaLana is leaving its corner digs on Avenue A and Third Street in a few weeks. SJP apparently shopped here once or something. And wore a coat from here on SATC. (Examiner)
Panache Cafe now open minus the Megan Fox
Looks to have a Moroccan theme...
I was hoping they'd leave up the newspaper with the Megan Fox feature.

Not much information is known just yet about a 25-year-old man who was shot while walking out of a bodega on Avenue C near 10th Street this morning. The victim was taken to Bellevue. (NY1, WCBS, The Lo-Down)
