Does anyone remember the name of the now defunct bookstore a little further up 9th? Maybe 56th?

But I will always remember that clear, stunningly beautiful day, which turned to tragedy and devastation, on Sept 11, 2001, when walking all the way home from lower Manhattan with the other hoardes of people in shock, the Film Center was the place my sister and I rested, had a beer in silence, then left and walked the rest of the 3 miles home.

We strolled down the avenue on a lovely summer evening, window gazing at the old and new spots. Ended up at Uncle Nick's. Other patrons looked and acted like actual New York residents of several decades. No tourists that I could smell.MagWildwoodnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-45639239645716287112011-08-17T16:26:56.271-04:002011-08-17T16:26:56.271-04:00Also worth noting, Rachel's, a longtime favori...Also worth noting, Rachel's, a longtime favorite on the east side of 9th Ave., between 43d and 44th, also closed this month.

Drinks were always fine but the food was consistently mediocre. Where my heart breaks is what could possibly go in there -- not looking forward to that. Here comes another wings, beer, and 17 HD screens sports bar. Or, better yet, a Thai restaurant or bank. No fear for Rudy's or Poseidon leaving.particularhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01649032064143297430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-83634713781772277162011-08-16T08:59:51.913-04:002011-08-16T08:59:51.913-04:00You're right, that's a great block.
