Yup, big time Italian-American success story. The Nook is keeping them afloat, so they'll be around. There just won't be many stores.

One of our buildings is on West 8th, right off Macdougal. I loved the little store on the corner of Sixth. Union Square will probably hold on for a little while. I hope so, anyway.


Reminds me, PB, saw pope of Greenwich village on A movie channel the other day... Any good?
