You Knew It Had to Come

I hate to linger on who and what have vanished from New York, but in this case, I'll make an exception. Manganaro's, the great Italian grosseria where you could eat in the back, has closed its doors. There were a bunch of groceries like that in that neighborhood as recently as ten years ago, and poof! Not anymore.

I swiped their photo, too. I always loved that blue sign.
