How can I really be expected to post today when the Storm of Feb. 8™ is on the way?

And shouldn't we all be out buying bread and stuff? Or is it too late?

Sad saga of Nino's Pizza 2.0 comes to an end

Yesterday morning, we noted that the new Nino's Pizza on St. Mark's Place and Avenue A had been closed (again) of late... this after extensive renovations...

And just like that ... Later yesterday, workers cleaned out the space...

...and a For Rent sign went up.

I miss the old Nino's. I liked their pizza and corny year-round Christmas decorations and fountain drinks. And it was one of my favorite spots for sitting and staring out the window, watching the East Village go by...

We didn't spot the listing online just yet...

Also. After a really, really long time, workers finally removed the sidewalk bridge here...

Oh, wait.

Bwahahaha. Nice!

In the words of the immortal Torrance Shipman: "Oh, I'll bring it. Don't worry."

Updated:
To be clear, I had nothing to do with this. Just someone's idea of a gag.
