Speaking of the Lower East Side: A random photo from the EV Grieve archives
On Delancey. I think this sums up the current state of affairs quite nicely.
Spina opens
As I mentioned Monday, Spina, an Italian place on Avenue B and 11th Street, opened yesterday... This addition bring the empty Avenue B storefronts total down to, uh, 18. I think it's time for a recount. Lots of comings and goings in recent months...

Report: Bogus help wanted ads fill Hoboken with New Yorkers looking for election work
Since I posted this... I found the photo that I took of one of the ads... This ad is on St. Mark's Place and Avenue A... For some reason, people in the neighborhood looking for work were victims of bullshit political escapades in Hoboken...
A flyer touting $200 pay for election work in Hoboken between 3:30 and 8 p.m. caused prospective hired hands from Manhattan to flood the mile-square city of Hoboken Tuesday. A runoff election is being held for mayor today between councilpeople Peter Cammarano and Dawn Zimmer. The flyer, which did not contain any “paid for” language as required by law, was found hanging on the Lower East Side of Manhattan by several men and women who came to Hoboken today looking for work.

"Is Butter Lane turning into a bar?"
Upon hearing the news that Butter Lane Cupcakes is going for a beer and wine license... and that the store is now open to midnight...
...and there has been the recent appearance of a rather harmless looking bench, chair, table and umbrella...
... compelled a Seventh Street resident who lives nearby to ask a simple question via e-mail, "Is Butter Lane turning into a bar?"

When there's no more room in the trash for your trash
Another nice weekend, another sighting of overflowing FroYo cup-topped trash in front of St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery.
Jeremiah has written about this...
...and I don't have anything to add to the discussion...
...but I was curious what people do when they need to discard their trash and there aren't any available trash cans...

The Holiday continues with the cheesy promotions
What, no Jagerettes?
I'll say this again:
1) I understand the fact that the beloved Holiday Cocktail Lounge on St. Mark's Place needs to make money to stay open...so why not attract the dreaded free vodka crowd.
2) Stefan never would have gone for this.
