If you are unfortunate enough to live in the center of the city, it comes as a huge relief to go deep into the outer boroughs and see actual ethnic neighborhoods, complete changes of neighborhoods block-by-block, and being able to walk around without constantly dodging cabs moving to fast and tourists/ cellphone walkers moving too slow.<br /><br />And also by "center" I don't quite mean Manhattan, I mean Manhattan below 96th Street on the East Side and 110th Street on the West Side, and a part of Brooklyn bounded roughly by 9th Street and Washington Avenue.<br /><br />However, as much as I want to move to the outer boroughs, I realize that they are dependent enough economically on what happens in the center of the city that they are pretty much doomed. Better to get out of New York entirely if you can.<br /><br />Anyway, I've learned the hard way that when businesses close "temporarily" in New York that means they are over. Even on the few occasions when they actually there is enough remodeling that the ambiance that made them attractive is gone. I wish we were back of the days when people would just post "gone out of business" or "going out of business" signs, but again you adjust.Ednoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-36572119116803007532012-09-14T13:48:34.916-07:002012-09-14T13:48:34.916-07:00Absolutely hate this.

Also noticed a couple weeks ago that Ottomanelli's, the tiny hundred year old cafe on York near 86th, had been seized by the marshal and has yet to open. Hands down my favorite restaurant in the neighborhood, closed down and not a single person seems to have noticed.

The market was part of what made you remember that once upon a time there were lots of ethnic neighborhoods. Now I guess you have Chinatown and that Italian island in its midst, in Manhattan, otherwise you have to go to Brooklyn or Queens to get that international flavor. upstate johnny gnoreply@blogger.com
