How dry I am: That forgotten little plant at Kurve
Whenever I walk by the kraptacular Kurve on Second Avenue and Fifth Street, I see the sad little plant that has apparently been forgotten by the Thai Troopers behind the window screen.
The poor little thing. Just needs a little soil. Some water. Some Pad See Lew. Something.

In the new New York even the smokestacks have to be pretty
For some reason I've always liked those four smokestacks at the ConEd plant at 14th Street and the East River...I like the industrial look, I suppose...
In recent weeks, though, I've noticed that the stacks are getting a new coat of paint...

Late night with 123 Third Ave.
Onward and upwards at 123 Third Ave. and 14th Street. The new 18-story glassy condo continues to take shape... still no information on the 123 Web site or details on a sales office, though.

Easy as...123 rises

Bread and buttah may officially be toast
Perhaps the saga of Bread and Butta on Avenue C near 11th Street is coming to an end. We've seen various legal documents slapped on the storefront this past year...and now, the windows have been whited out...
...and yet another legal notice awaits the owners. This one looks pretty final. Thanks to EV Grieve reader DianeB for this shot...
As far as we know, the place never even had the chance to open.

Does Mark Sanchez have a "C.C. and Company" in his future?
Overheard one of the those "Is Mark-Sanchez-the-next-Joe-Namath" conversations the other day. I think they were talking about on the field. Or maybe off the field? The Jets rookie QB has already been featured in a cheesy photo spread...and has appeared in commercials... Fine, fine. Now he needs to star in an unintentionally hilarious biker movie, such as 1970's "C.C. and Company," like Broadway Joe. (Bought my copy when Woolworth's was going out of business on 14th Street.)
Oh, how romantic!
P.S.
