New York at Night
Joe's Pizza, in the Village.
skip to main |
skip to sidebar
One of the old book jackets lining the walls of Chumley's. Eternal Shame on Bloomberg, the City Fathers, and the powers that be that this cultural landmark has STILL not been saved and reopened.
The late, great McHale's, the death of which inspired the birth of this blog.
The original, running Jeremiad on the vestiges of Old New York as they are steamrolled under or threatened by the currently ruthless real estate market and the City Fathers' disregard for Gotham's historical and cultural fabric. Est. January 2006.

great pizza! Rude and obnoxious workers! Maybe the best pizza in the Village (next to that place on the corner of Bleecker and 7th)
A double feature at Film Forum followed by two (or even three!) slices at Joe's: one of my favorite ways to spend an evening in New York.
