Nuble returns to Avenue C in time for New Year's Eve

Some friends of Nublu let us know earlier today that they will be back open tomorrow night at their old home on Avenue C ... Nublu had been renting space below Lucky Cheng's while they worked out issues with their liquor license...

Flashback to August...

Where you'll find me tomorrow night

Television from 1978 with "Foxhole."

The digging begins at the Mystery Lot

EV Grieve reader Spencer Elzey sends us these photos this morning from inside the Mystery Lot from the 14th Street side...

Perhaps digging for the new pool?

Those unnecessary new iPhone accessories

Thanks to EV Grieve reader Steve for this photo taken earlier in the morning at 10th Street and Broadway...

So it looks like we have:
• A pair of shoes
• A pair of pants
• A pint of whiskey
• A handful of toilet paper
• An empty iPhone case

I'm curious what happened next...
