At Fine Fair on Avenue C and 4th Street, it was the beef..
...cookies, on the other hand, were plentiful...

Serious precautions on Seventh Street
Why aren't these people in line buying water somewhere?
By any means possible
Breaking: East Village now cut off from Greenpoint
The MTA was on time and shut down the system, like the L stop here on 14th Street and First Avenue. We're on our own!

Free bread frenzy on Avenue A
We don't have every detail here... but apparently a man from a local bakery stopped here on Avenue A near Fourth Street to hand out a few boxes of free bread. Per Dave: "At first they were attacking him insanely. It was like watching the Chicago Board of Trade, except in Mandarin."
"But then he got them in line."
"But then he got them in line."

WATER! WE FOUND WATER!
Seriously, is there something wrong with the tap water right now? Dave on 7th notes that Key Food on Avenue A is restocking its water supply... No word on Fruity Pebbles.
Foodies are fucked: Momofuko, DBGB, Peels — CLOSED
Ridin' the storm out

[Updated] Hurricane, schmurricane: Ray's will be open all day — and night
Ray said he's be there all day and night. Unfortunately, the day shift couldn't make it in. So Ray is on his own.
Melanie has more photos of Ray ... and his makeshift quarters for the storm.

The line that you were waiting to see at Trader Joe's
Well, we heard about the lines at Trader Joe's all day... now EV Grieve reader DC sends along the shot that shows just how
And from EV Grieve reader Joe... a shot of the line waiting for the wine store....
And another angle later from Lauren...
All hands on deck at dawn
Echo & the Bunnymen from 1983. Blindingly obvious in these circumstances. But a lovely track nonetheless.
Everyone is getting on the Hurricane Irene marketing wagon
And at the Food Emporium Union Square...
Via @mattlehrer — There's a fair amount of water left @ Food Emporium Union Square but fewer carts and baskets than shoppers.
Water! Water! GET HIM!
Unloading in front of the 99-cent store on First Avenue near Fifth Street. Good, now I won't have to boil my urine for drinking water.
