m4l…i eat there all the time, or at least used to. it’s very, very good. If you want good Shanghainese, in a nice place too, go to Our Place Shanghai Tea Garden on the north side of 55th bet Lex & 3rd……very good soup dumplings.
rob – if fag night at sycamore is popular enough maybe they’ll give it more play on the schedule? at least ditmas park is fairly progressive. there’s a yoga center that has twice weekly classes for queer & transgender yogis. anyone want to to to that? : )
bridges – i’m trying to remember a chicken coop. all i can remember from that time/area is o’nieals and mare chiaro when it used to be good – my favorite bartender there was this big old chinese-american brute who grew up in brooklyn and had the biggest vinnie accent. hot.
im not a fan of nolita at all. there is this one lady who always sits outside with a bunch of other old school ladies in lawn chairs always bragging that her rent is 155 dollars a month. i wanna be her grandson and move in when she dies.
Yeah, DH, they are moving to Williamsburg. And apparently getting hammered there too, as you and I have previously discussed. Though I really hope they do well.
dh/wintropist – Recently I turned up Centre Market, of course it looks nothing like it did almost 20 years ago! I lived there around the time of the gotti trials. It was quite colorful. Especially for a mix like me 😉
I’m not sad about the changes though I realize more and more that in my mind NY is a different city than newbies experience. Newbies see what’s right in front of them, I see the changes 😉 Winthropist remember the chicken coop on on grand street and centre?
“Nolita is kind of going backwards now. Lots of empty storefronts. Most of it not very interesting any more.”
Definitely – I’ve brought up Nolita in other threads re: retail rents in Brooklyn. Boutiques and restaurants are getting hammered. Lots are moving to Williamsburg.

Mopar, you convinced me. I’m going to check out the GS at 54th. it’s a short walk from work.
