Archives: Union Square 19th Century

Soon to arrive on University Place: Mimi’s Frozen Yogurt. It’s Australian, and it’s fancy.

Here is the corner of 13th and 5th, looking at the NE corner which now, of course, is The New School. This photo dates to the 1930s. Interesting how many changes have come to this corner over time.

Yes, it happened. Spice has replaced Tong on 13th St. Too bad. Tong was an unusual take on Thai. Perhaps too unusual for the masses. Next question: what will become of the Spice space? Let’s hope it’s not destined to become a bank.

The excellent Havana Central on East 17th (212-414-4999) has a three-course lunch from $12.95 through September.
