Totale Pizza looking closed on St. Mark's Place

Totale Pizza opened on St. Mark's Place near Second Avenue back in May... The place has been looking a little closed of late...



Maybe just some slow-week renovations? Anyway, I rarely see anyone inside here, though I heard the pizza is quite tasty .... The owners are also behind the cheapo 2 Bros up the street...

D-Lish Pita expected to open soon

That's the word anyway here on Avenue A near Sixth Street... workers said the place should be ready for d-lish food in "the next few days." Here at the former home of Habib's Place...and France's Beauty Salon.

Welcome back to New York!

We've heard many hellish travel stories this week... our friend Marty Wombacher passed along these shots from LaGuardia tonight... he made it back to the New York, though he was waiting it out at a bar for the two-hour cab line to subside...

Scharf Attack: Deitch Wall tagged

Billy Leroy, proprietor of Billy's Antique's, passes along these photos ... noting that the Kenny Scharf mural on Houston and The Bowery has been hit...

Updated: Sorry... missed that Animal NY already had this... See their photos here.

Mounds of trouble
