Well, it is about time that West Villagers are seeing some improvements in security in the immediate St. Vincent’s Hospital area. For months since the closing of the now defunct St. Vincent’s Hospital there has been a serious problem with homeless ex-patients lingering in the area. There has been an increase in crime, noise, [...]
Well, not really…. But they should make a show about it! Here is the first person they should call: The owner of this car. This is a serious car hoarder, I don’t even understand how this happens??? All I know is that I have seen a lot of weird things in the West [...]
Just when you thought you knew where to get great Indonesian Cuisine… WHAMMY Satay Junction on Greenwich Street just north of 10th Street goes under. It’s a hard knock life for the small business owner here in the West Village, NYC. I sure hope St. Vincents re-opens SOON or else there will be no [...]
Finally, something positive to report! A new business is opening in the West Village. It is an Early Learning Center for 3 and 4 year old children located on Greenwich Street near the W. 10th Street intersection. It looks like the name is E.nopi NYC and that it is scheduled to open on October [...]
First it was Joe Jr’s, then St. Vincent’s, then the Waverly Diner-all West Village staples and now look what closed. There is a sign on the door that the rent went up and they lost their lease. They even took the ‘Ray’s’ off the sign. Thank God we got a slice there [...]
Oh man! The Waverly Diner is closed!! The Waverly Diner on the corner of 6th Ave and Waverly has been in the West Village for so many years and now it’s gone. They put up a sign saying, “We are renovating and will be back soon”. YEAH RIGHT, I have seen that one before [...]
I just saw the new Pearl Jam film, “Pearl Jam Twenty” at the IFC Center on 6th Ave in Greenwich Village. It was great! I am a real PJ fan so over 2 hours of Pearl Jam history lessons woven with super loud PJ songs is perfect for me. So, if you are a [...]
The White Horse Tavern on West 11th Street and Hudson Ave. Great watering hole with a lot of history. This the place where they say the American Poet Dylan Thomas drank himself to death in the early 1950s, so it must be good! The bar has been open since 1880 so they are doing something [...]
Yes, its a PIGMAN on the 1 train at rush hour on Monday evening… He stepped on the subway and everyone just freaked out. How is this possible? Any reason why PIGMAN is on the subway? I understand the flannel shirt with the whole farm theme thing, but subway riding? Turns out he is coming [...]
I finally made my way over to Vin Sur Vingt, the new French wine bar that opened before the summer started. And it was a great, little place but definitely be prepared to spend some money on good wine and snacks/finger foods. Service was very good, they gave all the help you needed to pick [...]
