It was a "Hot and Crusty" in 2012, and the workers were picketing outside for respect:

That's just weird.

I wish it could be a fruit and vegetable mart. Remember the one we had a little east on 14th? Like where the A Building/Petopia is now? I used to be able to buy fresh tofu and peanuts in the shell and greens and chocolate any random day I was walking home, it was wonderful. Who needs a TMobile store? Either you have TMobile or you don't, but neither necessitates going to a physical store.

I just took out my calculator to play with the options of $56,000 a month (times) slices of pizza etc. Not a pretty picture.

luxury = boring and dull, admittedly it is nice to have someone from another country tend to my toenails.

There's already a T-Mobile store 3, maybe 4 blocks up 1st Avenue alongside StuyTown. Unless it's the same owner closing a small shop and expanding into a bigger space I don't get it AT ALL.

The SE corner of 14th Street and First Avenue. The saddest corner of the EV.

Yup, there's a T-Mobile store at 1st Ave and 19th in Stuy Town.

Not sure what that's all about although I do know that there are corporate T-Mobile stores and franchises and they're two very different animals.

It's bad enough that they're turning NYC into a mall, but a particularly shitty mall at that. Enough already, City Council, pass the Small Business Jobs Survival Act already! #SaveNYC

This is a shitty mall! Good point. We don't even have a Hot Topic, Cinnabun, Hot Dog on a Stick or any of the fun kitschy stuff that most self-respecting two-bit malls have. The EV combines all the blandness of a sleepy outlet mall, with the additions of filth, noise, and petty crime. Face palm. The EV 2015 is basically like one big punchline from the Onion.

Tampon Hut I hope! CVS is too small to shop in and Walgreens is too dark. I think I'm buying tampons, but when I get outside in the light, I realized I bought a throw pillow. Every time. I hate Walgreens.

How long does Ray's Pizza Bagel Cafe at St.Mark's Place and Third Avenue have left?

Considering they're going to demolish that building in the near future, probably not long. On the other hand, there have been businesses that have had whole new buildings built around them; Mullen's Pub on 7th avenue between 22nd and 23rd is one where the building was demolished around them and then a new mid-rise was built.

Although that place has been around since the mid-80s, I never liked it—nor did my dyslexic friend Margo (who confused it with St. Mark's Pizza across the street.) I was fond of the Mother East Deli, which was in Ray's space probably from the late 70s until Ray's took over.
