More on the Tompkins Square Park beatings that no mainstream media journalist has yet to acknowledge. [NMNL]
Eater points us to the LES Forum, where the sentiment about loudmouth bars and "crazy no-bar people" is: "Looks like the peace and quiet crowd has mobilized. Now is the time for those who represent the future to do so, shouting them down at every turn. Let fun rule." Disagree? Join the Forum.

The new P&G has opened. As for the neon sign, Adam Sandler, put away your million--"'We hope to have the corner crown of the old P&G sign up in the new location," said the senior Mr. Chahalis...

As someone who lives on University Place, words simply cannot express my disdain for the Dance Parade. It is a scourge. I hope the heavens open up and fire rains down.
Sorry about the fire. Was a great place.
Check out my coverage/photos of The Dance Parade on Saturday at Tompkins.
What's the problem with the Dance Parade? It was really wonderful, with a small town charm, homemade floats and spontaneous dancing. I loved having all that color bouncing through the neighborhood.
