Bowery Boogie | A Lower East Side Chronicle

Outside 132 Eldridge Street is a veritable canvas of colorfully detailed Stikman art.  It’s nice to see such a unique presentation, especially since most Stikmen in the neighborhood seem to be flattened in the streets.

The storied lighting district of the lower Bowery will soon lose two big-time players.  Firstly, Bowery Interiors/Lite Elite at 148 Bowery is closing up shop for good.  Yellow-and-red signs hanging ominously in the windows advertise a fire sale of store inventory.

As of 8:50 am this morning, the snowfall total in the untouched sunken court of Sara D. Roosevelt Park was approximately eight inches deep.

Guss’ Pickles has been eerily quiet recently.  Our last dozen attempts to purchase full sours were met with the stark reality of a roll-down security gate. Alas, their time on the Lower East Side draws nigh.
