The Mike Tyson article is precious. A must read. Such a great guy moving out of the hood and changing his ways.
Kim Cattrall is right. Why sell your soul and your dignity on the cheap? And by cheap I mean anything less that the most you can possibly get and still feel vaguely soiled.

Notice
When I took the picture somebody from Caffe Reggio next door said it had to do with paperwork rather than actual conditions.
They always say paperwork ha!
Mamoun's inspection on May 19th according to the NYC .gov website, Mamouns had 41 violation points (28 or below passes). So they probably had a follow up inspection which failed again and closed them!

Ugh. No more Sex and The City pleaaaase.
