Just a few quick storefront items... Sal's closed back in March... and, as several readers have pointed out, Benny's is taking over the space next door here on Avenue at East Sixth Street... Benny's used to run their to-go business from this side...
...and on Saturday, signage went up for the new gelato place/cafe coming soon on Second Avenue between St. Mark's and East Ninth Street...

Today in photos of a Lamborghini with a 'WINNING' license plate on East Ninth Street
Someone told Bobby Williams, who took these photos, that Paris Hilton was the passenger in the car... (not true...)
Updated: According to Jalopnik, the car belongs to a divorce attorney who lives on Long Island. Read about him here.

The Post are meatheads when it come to $18 plates of vegetarian food
On Page 3 today, the Post makes a big fucking deal about a main vegetarian course at Northern Spy on East 12th Street that features roasted carrots for "a stunning $18."
Meanwhile, back on Page 42, there's a feature noting that "veggies step out from the sidelines and into starring roles at these NYC restaurants."
