Mary O's at 32 Avenue A almost looks ready for action...
We took a quick look inside. Looks classy. No one was around to ask about an opening date. But it looks close. (And, for once, a decent, subtle-looking bar sign.)

Coming soon to Avenue A: "Best taco shop and boutique in NY!"
Well, that seems like an odd combination. Won't all the boutique items smell like, say, tacos?
Anyway, first. I spoke with someone who works here. If all goes well with inspections, etc., La Lucha will be open in two weeks. Or so.
Only later did I see these fliers taped to their shop window on Avenue A between Ninth Street and 10th Street (just steps away from San Loco too...) I'm curious about the food/boutique combo.

On the liquor license agenda in July: Iggy's and others...
Here's what's on tap for the next Community Board 3's SLA & DCA Licensing Committee meeting on July 20:
Butter Lane is back on docket. (It was scratched from last month's agenda.)Iggy's, which is taking over the Five Rose's space, is applying for a license. A few interesting transfers (maybe!) at 40C and Cafe DeVille...

Noted
Something other than a bar opens on Avenue A
At least temporarily? The "for rent" sign is still up...The Johnny Air Cargo ... which was on First Avenue...now at 214 Avenue A, at the site of the former Gramstand Cafe that closed last December.

NYU looking to run Greenwich Village out of town
[Image via NY Post]
"It's the purple octopus that ate Greenwich Village! New York University plans to add 6 million square feet of space by 2031 -- development that may include a 40-story residential tower, the tallest in the Village." (New York Post)
The purple octopus? Hmm. Not bad. How about:
Somewhere over Fifth Street
The weekend sky theme continues ...
I will now not ruin the moment by playing something by Rainbow, though I thought about it.
