The gang at Billy's Antiques on Houston near the Bowery are putting out some freebies today. Billy's is now closed for the next year or so to make way for a two-story structure here. (Billy says that he will return.)

King Gyro recently closed on First Avenue between Third Street and Fourth Street ... the owners are now going for that Pudgie's-Nathan's-Arthur Treacher's combo.

East Village residents apparently really like having macaroni and cheese delivered
Delivery.com has named S'MAC, the mac-and-cheese empire on East 12th Street, the city's busiest delivery service in the city. (This only takes in account deliveries made via Delivery.com from 2011; S'MAC took in more orders than any other restaurant that delivers, the Post reported.)
Co-owner Sarita Ekya told the Post that they make upwards of 50 deliveries an hour on Saturdays.
And as the Post points out, S'MAC (short for Sarita's Macaroni & Cheese) "the restaurant's name is a play on words that harks back to the bad old days when junkies lined up on East Village streets looking for a different kind of fix."
"East Villagers get it," said Ekya, a Nova Scotia native. "Other people will think it's just an abbreviated form of the whole name."

Five Tacos now open on St. Mark's Place
Several readers have told us that Five Tacos is now open at 119 St. Mark's Place just west of Avenue A... One reader said that last night was the grand opening.
Wasn't open when we walked by this morning... So, a rather off-kilter shot then of the menu...
CB3 approved a beer-wine license for them. It's run by the owners of Ten Degrees Bar a few doors down...
Panuozzo sandwiches coming to St. Mark's Place
Speaking of St. Mark's Place... Grub Street had the scoop yesterday about a branch of the Upper East Side-based San Matteo Pizza and Espresso Bar opening on St. Mark's Place ... (we're assuming it will be in the space left vacant by Motek, the crepe place... it's the only vacant storefront along here...)
A panuozzo is apparently some kind of pizza-panino hybrid that looks like this...
Other details from Grub Street:
• They will stay open till 2 a.m. "for hungry bargoers."
• "We want to introduce the panuozzo to young crowds," the owner said.
• A beer-and-wine license is in the works (of course!)
This is what 1 WTC looked like on Jan. 13, 2012
This year, we'll post photos like this of various buildings, streetscenes, etc., to capture them as they looked at this time and place... The photos may not be the most telling now, but they likely will be one day...
Today's sign of the apocalypse
