*Everyday Chatter

I'm posting at The Paris Review Daily today--a kind of behind-the-scenes blog-walk back in October to visit Ray's Pizza--if you like it, please leave a comment there. Maybe I can do some more. Thanks for reading. [PRD]

This week, street artist Jay Shells turned a JR eye on the old Village Paper into an exuberant homage to Clockwork Orange:

  1. That 7-11 isnt in the Flatiron building. Its on 5th between 26th & 27th, but still. I will be guilty as charged that I will go there. In my 30+ years in NY I always had to go to Queens of Brooklyn to get a slurpee, now I walk around the corner. Dont worry folks, most of my purchases will still come from Adam and Mike at My Place Deli. I just love a slurpee.

  2. the "art" of FAILE is a disgruntled gentrifier's take on what "street" is- an eighth rate child of the commercial andy warhol. seriously, the white wall (even the who knows what it was of that close up of the face and eyes) was looking great on houston street before that FAILEd crap went up.
