This summer, at the site of the former Tompkins Square Bakery next to Life. [Update: There seems to be some confusion... thanks to the commenter for the note. The bakery's address was 341 E. 10th St., now home to the real-estate office... The Ninth Street Espresso's Web site said they are moving into 341 E. 1oth St. I'll get this right eventually. And none of this will be on the midterm. Regardless, there will be a new Ninth Street Espresso location on 10th Street...]

Morningwood this afternoon
Morningwood is playing a free show today at 1:30 at Stanton and Orchard. (Bring a fan.)
And I still like their video for "Nth Degree," which you can see here.

Is this the leakiest (drippiest?) AC in the EV?

Random piece of movie dialogue about New York City of the day
"I'm tellin' ya, the crime rate in New York will kill ya. There's so many problems, you never feel like you're accomplishing anything. Violence, rip-offs, muggings. The kids can't leave the house. You gotta walk 'em to school. But in Amity, one man can make a difference. In 25 years, there's never been a shooting or a murder in this town." -- Amity Police Chief Martin Brody, Jaws (1975)
Another day, another direction
Is it me, or is that crane hovering over Cooper Union move around by the minute? Particularly on weekends, when no one is working...
See some of my previous photos of the crane here.

New York TV party today
Inspired by a post by Rolando at Urbanite, I started revisiting some TV shows of yesteryear that were set in New York. Posted a few yesterday. EV Grieve commenter Eric suggested Bosom Buddies. As he wrote, "Pretending to be a woman to have an apt. in NYC, now that's gritty." Indeed! (Sidenote: It's too bad that both leads from Bosom Buddies faded into obscurity!)
Anyway, here are the intros to a handful of TV shows from the 1970s and 1980s that show some NYC scenery. I missed a lot. Feel free to offer any suggestions. (Oh, and I couldn't find McCLoud...)
Sorry, commercial break.
This includes the opening scene of Bridget Loves Bernie, one of my favorites -- a wealthy Catholic woman marries a Jewish cab driver. Ran for one year, 1973-74. Lead actor David Birney went on the play the lead in the understandably short-lived Serpico TV series.
Time for more commercials
Our sponsors insist we close with more commercials. Sorry.
