Bad news for Billy's Antiques--more development takes over on the Bowery: "It’ll be part of that final transition to a landscape of Pottery Barns and Starbucks." [NYT]

And what's coming? Billy says it will be made of brick imported from a factory in Massachusetts--and built by Tony Goldman, the creator of Soho who discovers and articulates urban grit. [EVG]

More news and rumor from Bill's Gay 90s: The bartender said "the owner of the old tavern...wanted nothing to do with DeLucie, and that they were the victim of a spiteful landlord who was messing around with the fate of the bar. 'We're not going anywhere,' he said." [LC]

Lovely photos of the old B&B Carousell at Coney Island--it could be yours. [ATZ]

Gutting the Chelsea Hotel. [Gothamist]

Oh dear, there's a Sex & the City slot machine in Queens. [NYM]

The backstory on Dog Day Afternoon. [OTG]

Mick's new book Christmas Whore is "about the sleazy old area of the 20s and Park Ave South, wretched times were spent there all around the Belmore Cafeteria." [ABS]

Inside the insane car-vator of Chelsea's 200 11th Ave. [Gothamist]

Good news from Pat about the shuttered Cosmos Diner: The scaffolding is down and the new sign says "Orion Diner & Grill with a big picture of a bare-chested archer (Orion the Hunter) against an orange background with laurel leaves. Looks very Greek and not at all gentrified."
