SUV Plunges from 13th St. Garage

Curious about how the renovation of Union Square is proceeding? The Villager has all the details here. The bottom line: on schedule.

Sad to see that Patisserie Fouet on 13th St. is no more. It closed suddenly and without much explanation. Perhaps an end-of-year lease situation. They do have another location at 776 9th Ave at 52nd St.

Union Square themed clothing is available from the Union Square Partnership.

Vapiano is also done. Too bad.

Yet another single-dish restaurant opened its doors over the weekend: The Nugget Spot. Besides the expected chicken nuggets, this fast-casual joint also offers pork, fish, cauliflower, and mozzarella nuggets. There are also four different breading options, which range from coconut to Cheeze-it, and a long list of dipping sauces to go with. There are also a few sides, and the restaurant does serve beer, but only Budweiser at this point. Status: Certified Open. 230 E 14th St., 646-422-7426.

See this Gothamist post which includes a video of two men brawling at the south end of Union Square Park while at least two officials, one cop and one park security guard, merely watch.
