a.k.a. The Book of Lamentations:
a bitterly nostalgic look at a city in the process of going extinct
- Jeremiah Moss
- THE BOOK:
"We should all buy Jeremiah Moss’s book, Vanishing New York." --Sarah Jessica Parker
“Essential reading for fans of Jane Jacobs, Joseph Mitchell, Patti Smith, Luc Sante, and cheap pierogi.” --Vanity Fair
"a vigorous, righteously indignant book that would do Jane Jacobs proud." --Kirkus Reviews
THE BLOG:
"the go-to hub for those who lament New York's loss of character." --Crain's
"No one takes stock of New York's changes with the same mixture of snark, sorrow, poeticism, and lyric wit as Jeremiah Moss." --Village Voice, Best of NY
“Jeremiah Moss…is the defender of all the undistinguished hunks of masonry that lend the streets their rhythm.” --Justin Davidson, New York Magazine
"One of the most thorough and pugnacious chroniclers of New York’s blandification." --The Atlantic, Citylab
"Hyperbolic and combative, tireless and passionate." --Salon
That photo is great.
ReplyDeleteI love Ray,
ReplyDeletehope he's okay!!!
NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Not Diamond Dairy! I'm in pain. The food was great, the people swell, and it's a goddam lunch counter which is what people NEED. Where oh where to get edible tunasalad in Midtown? Deli across from the UN -- closed. Jewish deli on 45th (2nd/3rd) -- gone. I would walk all the way across town to Diamond Dairy. Yeesh.
ReplyDeletehey dick head santa con is a food drive. yeah people are drunk but get over yourself you fucking prick.
ReplyDeletebecause everything's okay as long as it's for charity. i can't wait until the frat-dicks in the East Village institute "Gang Rape Saturday Night" to raise money for kids with autism. what a wonderful event that will be.
ReplyDeleteI'd be interested in knowing the results of the food drive (haven't been able to find any). People were asked to bring 1-2 cans, but it wasn't a requirement.
ReplyDeleteAny photos of Diamond Dairy available?
