I live on Roosevelt Island. There isn't 5 restaurants within a 10 block area. No, Astoria is MORE than 10 blocks!
A Romanian Restuarant opened on 36th Avenue and Vernon Blvd., within the 10 block criteria. We dined there last night. My meal was OK, my wife's was so-so. Not a place I'd highly recommend. The only saving grace was it's BYOB for now. Caveat: They do not accept CCs. A Japanese Restaurant is scheduled to open on RI shortly. Politically incorrect, but I guess that's our great yellow hope.
That resident like my family is awaiting the opening of the Japanese restaurant slated to open perhaps this Spring. Nonno’s was a great addition but we need more choices. We certainly have enough residents to sustain a few more restaurants.
Sometimes you wake up in the morning and everything feels just a bit off center. So when I saw this photo I said that captures it.
Residents would be up in arms about infrastructure issues and the fact that the current transportation systems could not handle the added growth and patient advocates would have concerns egarding whether patients at both hospitals would suffer due to a merger.
This "valentine" appeared mysteriously Thursday morning greeting morning commuters lucky enough to see it from the Tram or FDR Highway.
Apparently the artist snuck behind Bridge construction barriers to get to the bridge anchor. Unless he approached the structure from the River.
If you could paint a valentine message anywhere in NYC where would you leave it and what would you say?
It is unknown when the artist came onto the Rocks or how he / they eluded detection as the location faces Manhattan and is in full view of the Trams coming and going as well as the East River.
I doubt the City will let this grafitti valentine stay on the Bridge but at least for today Elena's love has sent his card.
Based on how Roosevelt Island's PSD taped off the Q102 bus accident scene it appears that the Hardware Store is closed until further notice. Hopefully the closure is not for too long. Main Street does not need another store going under.
Update: 12:00 pm Noon
It appears that either RIOC or Urban America already are on the job to start addressing the repairs needed to remove the damaged structural facade and column.
The crazy thing is that with the one lane road that is Main Street we can't even create a temporary pedestrian walkway in the road so residents and guests are forced for their own safety need to cross Main Street twice to walk around the taped off area.
