Good Old Days, West Side of Union Sq.

Well, here is what our new neighbor on the southeast corner of 5th and 13th is going to look like, and here are all the details. Not bad. At least it aint all glass.

7 For All Mankind has opened on the corner of 5th Ave. and 15th St. at the former site of Au Bon Pain. So instead of a $3 muffin you can get a $300 pair of jeans.

Just follow this link.

As you might imagine, the art vendors of Union Square don’t want to be kicked out.

What an interesting painting. The view is to the east across the southeastern corner of the park, back when the statue of George Washington was located in a traffic island at that corner.

One great way to enjoy dining discounts all around town: Blackboard Eats. Sign up for free and you get occasional e-mails offering 30% off your *total* bill. No strings attached. It’s a great deal and a great way to try new places. Here in this neighborhood, Fredi Sandwich Shop and Low Country have been prior participants.
