Borgo Antico = City Tavern

ByDon

Goodbye Borgo Antico on 13th across from our front door. It’s turned into City Tavern, a rather uninteresting bar with regular old bar food.

    Union Square Park will be home to New York’s first Portuguese Film Festival sponsored by the Arte Institute, kicking off  Thursday, June 2. The event is “the first of its kind in the United States,” and will screen twenty short films directed by Portuguese citizens – many of whom who have already earned European prizes or have been selected to Festivals such as Cannes. The films will be screened first at The Anthology Film Archives and the main Festival will be held at Union Square Park (North Pavilion). Admission is free at the Union Square Park screening although seats need to be reserved in advance.

    The Festival will simultaneously take place in Lisbon at Auditorio Carlos on the same dates (June 2-3).

    After years of speculation, D’agostino on University Place has closed and will be replaced by some kind of higher-end gourmet market. It’s the way of the world…or at least the neighborhood.

  • 9 East 13th St. in 1939, Part IV

    ByDon

    Thanks to Charles Stimson for purchasing and sharing these four photographs from the city archives. Shot for a tax survey in 1939, they show our block and are full of fascinating detail if you click on them to blow them up and look a little closer. Wouldn’t you love to stop off at Marty’s Luncheon for a sandwich? As New York races into the future, it’s quite a thrill to be able to look back and remind ourselves how things used to be.
