First, the prices are too damn hard to read! I also have a few complaints about the organization and other signage - e.g., how come the sparkling wines section doesn't have easily identifiable subsections for champagnes, proseccos, cavas, etc.? I love Astor and hope they straighten everything out as they get settled. I also hate that damned glass tower and the damn squares who live there. I caught my first glimpse of one as I was on my way home from Astor on Sunday - a woman walking her guests out of the building - ugh, ugh, ugh.</p> http://www.gothamist.com/2006/03/27/astors_new_digs_1.php#comment-112038 http://www.gothamist.com/2006/03/27/astors_new_digs_1.php#comment-112038 Comments Mon, 27 Mar 2006 10:46:29 -0500 <p>Okay, so this is probably not the exact right place for this, but it concerns Astor Place in general. I live in the neighborhood and I am fucking disgusted by what The Man has done with the area around that new glass tower. The tower itself is fine -- a little wonky, but fine. It's just that they simply paved the huge wide sidewalk all around it. NOT A SINGLE FUCKING TREE? OR A SWING SET OR SOMETHING? GIVE US A BUSH FOR CHRIST'S SAKE! It makes the whole area an empty soulless concrete skillet of boredom and despair and I hate the fucking guts of everyone involved. Thank you.</p>
