Month: January 2010

Sad to see local photo store Ben Ness go. It was a good place to get passport phots done and was staffed with a nice bunch of guys. It will be interesting to see if the space goes to a local business or to a chain. Pinkberry perhaps?

No one is sure why, but Ramen Setagaya has changed its name to Takumi Ramen. Same menu.

Cosi, which closed on the corner of 13th and 6th a while back, finally has a new tenant: PinoMaximo, an all-things-Italian place specializing in pizza and gelato. Not open yet, but looks tasty.

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.

NYU, which will lease it back to Forbes for five years before moving in.

Survey says: Union Square (across from Whole Foods) is the sixth noisiest spot in NYC. See the entire list here.
