No More Mexican
Mexicana Mama, the intimate Mexican joint on East 12th St., has shuttered.
The lastest neighborhood store to shutter is Environment 33, the high-end home furnishings boutique on University at 10th. Seems like it was a bad time, economically speaking. to be in the business of selling expensive knicknacks.
This view shows the east side of 5th Ave. at 13th St. in 1911. In other words, it’s where the New School now has its main entrance. Down the block on 13th St. you can see the tallish building that is now apartments. Ah, the good old days. Note that even in 1911, those elegant brownstones had seen better days. Since then, three large buildings have stood on this block, so that’s one reinvention about every 35 years.

Curious to see what our block looked like 400 years ago. Check in at the Mannahatta Project, search for our address, and you’ll discover that as you might guess, it was covered with trees. There was also a lovely little river running north to south between 5th and 6th Ave.
