POPUP STOREFRONT REVEALED
Thanks to J. for the shot: PopUp Bagels, the viral bagel shop that now has six locations in the city and beyond, has revealed its storefront on Greenwich and Reade. Last we heard from them they were targeting November. Awaiting word to hear if that is still the plan… Now they are hoping the opening date is early 2026, but they said they will keep in touch.
NO LITTLE SPOON
This is my sad form of protest: I refuse to ever buy from companies that deface our sidewalks. I really don’t see why this is not a HUGE fine. Sanitation fines our building for leaves in the street. This is easy pickings!
DOWNTOWN SHORT FILM WINS AWARD
The Downtown Alliance’s filmmakers-in-chief, the Neymarc Brothers, won best drama for their film “Dreamscape” at the New York Shorts International Film Festival, one of the city’s leading showcases for emerging filmmakers. The filmmaking residency came with $50K and was designed to engage filmmakers to spotlight Lower Manhattan through their storytelling. As part of the residency, the Neymarcs received a $50,000 grant to produce the film on location in the neighborhood. The film is coming soon.

Those sidewalk stickers are a new out of home ad treatment; they are everywhere, they are hideous and yes, they are defacing. NYC should ban them. I don’t even think there is permits involved in their application, people are just throwing them down. ugh
Agreed about the sidewalk stickers, along with the painted on / sprayed on sidewalk ads and “clever” saying. Also, what about stickers in general? The entire city is polluted with stickers everywhere – mailboxes, light posts, walls of buildings, etc. I don’t understand why there is no enforcement about this.
I prefer the stickers to homeless, junkies, and excrement from dogs or humans. Focus on what matters maybe?
As I see it, it all matters. A civilized city should have good solutions to all of these issues.
Just wait until the communist is mayor. You ain’t seen nothing yet. Or maybe he’ll put all the former NYPD officers on sticker duty.
LOL. Can’t help but smile at the MAGA response to a possible progressive Mayor. Haven’t seen such Communist baiting since Joe McCarthy🤬
