The Blarney Cove is open!


Here on 14th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B. So what other bars are open?

Thank you! We'll be here all weekend. Try the veal!

Avenue B, 10:31 a.m., Aug. 27


Places where we won't be standing during Hurricane Irene


I'm sure it's fine and safe under here at the Coper Square Hotel. Just looks scary.

Free bread frenzy on Avenue A

We don't have every detail here... but apparently a man from a local bakery stopped here on Avenue A near Fourth Street to hand out a few boxes of free bread. Per Dave: "At first they were attacking him insanely. It was like watching the Chicago Board of Trade, except in Mandarin."


"But then he got them in line."


WATER! WE FOUND WATER!



Seriously, is there something wrong with the tap water right now? Dave on 7th notes that Key Food on Avenue A is restocking its water supply... No word on Fruity Pebbles.

Foodies are fucked: Momofuko, DBGB, Peels — CLOSED





Oh, Prune appears to be open for brunch.

BREAKING: Second Avenue Starbucks — CLOSED

Ridin' the storm out


Seventh Street and Avenue A ... by Dave on 7th. (Actually, this bike has been locked here for awhile, but...)

[Updated] Hurricane, schmurricane: Ray's will be open all day — and night



Ray said he's be there all day and night. Unfortunately, the day shift couldn't make it in. So Ray is on his own.

Melanie has more photos of Ray ... and his makeshift quarters for the storm.
