"The bus just keeps honking his horn. He can't or won't go around the car illegally parked in the stop in front of Benny's. Going on for about 10 minutes so far."
Finally, the bus pulls around the car...

Steve's on the Bowery has closed, more 'glam fashionistas' on the way
In June, I spotted a retail listing for Steve's on the Bowery ... Agents remarked how this was a "prime retail location on the Bowery."
Uh-huh.
At the time, a worker at Steve's said that they'd be open through the end of this year.
Looks like they didn't make it until October. The rather grubby deli apparently closed yesterday, and workers were gutting the space this morning...
In August, BoweryBoogie had the scoop that the Intermix brand was taking over the Steve's space. The company describes itself as a "fashion boutique for trendsetters, A-Listers and glam fashionistas. We carry an exclusive mix of the best designers, styles and trends."
Curious what role the 7-Eleven across the street played in closing Steve's. The Bowery 7-Eleven opened on Dec. 23. Of course, the landlord knew that he or she could get a lot more $$$ from a big brand like Intermix than a store where single cans of beer in a bag were the hot sales item.
And a shot of Steve's with the gate down on Christmas morning, 2011...

Something in the works to take over the former Polonia space on First Avenue
[EVG file photo]CB3 just sent out the October CB3/SLA docket (meeting is Oct. 15). It hasn't been posted yet online...
One item of particular interest — No. 18, which is the former Polonia space, the Polish diner that closed in December. We heard that a "foodie type" was eyeing the space, which has been on the market. (The ad called for "established food operators.") We'll see if we can track that one down over the weekend.
We'll have more on all this on Monday... but here it is in the meantime:

Report: The LES Pathmark is closing in December
Dunno if you ever shop at the Pathmark down on Cherry Street by the Manhattan Bridge. The Lo-Down gets confirmation that the store is closing at the end of December.
Per a store spokesperson:
We are relinquishing the lease to accommodate a large scale residential development and improvement project, while preserving the right to operate once the project is complete.
There was an uproar back in November 2007 when rumors circulated that an enormous development would take the store's place. This time it seems like a done deal.
