Here’s some interesting gossip: “A 50’s-era-themed supper club is slated to open mid-October on 9th Street between 5th and 6th. No live music, but all the Lobster Thermidor, Baked Alaska and old-school cocktails you and your hep date can handle.”

The flowers are back on sale at the corner deli on 13th. Problem solved.

Our new downstairs neighbor, The Drop House, seems to be some kind of short-term music pop-up experience. It’s a bit hard to decode.

Sausage Inc. has opened the doomed space on University between 12th and 13th that has housed a bakery, a Philly Cheesesteak shop and Wok New York.
