While the Jane Hotel undergoes some "minor physical adjustments" after their loving neighbors had them temporarily shut down, Eater reports that other local establishments are picking up the slack. Here's a list of where to go in the neighborhood til the Jane reopens, but the Rusty Knot is actually hosting the hotel until further notice.

The Jane Street Hotel may be oh so pretty, but it has spurred an ugly battle on the street. Yes, after a full-on, balls-out attack on the hotel, the residents of the street have allegedly won... for now. We're told by a tipster that: "The Jane Street Hotel is now closed until November due to the violations and they have a sign on the door that its because of internal issues." This comes after the hotel was "raided" over the weekend.

The Jane Street NIMBYs have been pulling out all the stops lately, and their latest stunt brings them offline. Yes, this sign is suggesting dog owners walk their dog right over to The Jane and encourage them to pee on it. To be exact, it says: "Let's face it, every dog needs to do his thing. But when doing it, why not also let him show The Jane Hotel exactly what he thinks about them running an illegal club in a quiet residential neighborhood?"

The saga on Jane Street continues, as neighbors unite against the Jane Hotel's nightlife crowd. Andrea Peyser pens a piece about the battle, pitting children with asthma ("every night, choking smoke fills the family's living space") against bold-faced party-goers like the Kate Winslet and Edward Norton. Yep, the modern-day Tiny Tim lives in a multi-million dollar Manhattan home with a backyard!

Inexpensive lodging has finally come to the West Village; The NY Times reports on 113 Jane Street's latest incarnation: The Jane, which is offering up rooms for under 100 bucks.

Even after only being open since October, Dell'Anima, the brainchild of some Babbo and Del Posto alums, is already tough to get into. Sure, it's partially because it's a small space, with seating for just over forty, but it's also due to the cozy, warm and inviting atmosphere, friendly and knowledgeable staff, and for the delicious rustic Italian fare.

The results are in for the 2007 Design Awards from the American Institute of Architects (AIA) New York Chapter. The jury, composed of notable architects and designers from around the world, reunited for a public symposium and discussion panel last night at the Center for Architecture. The judging criteria were defined as "Quality of design; resolution of the program or idea; and innovation, thoughtfulness, and technique."

Crime occurs in all neighborhoods, but residents on Jane Street are surprised at a string of thefts in their Greenwich Village enclave. The NY Sun reports a concerned citizen fliered some doorways with the message, "Attention Neighbors: There is a Thief/Vandal Targeting Jane Street," alleging "two car break-ins, wheels stolen from another, and a front door with cracked glass." It's the end of the world!

Fashion week is in full swing in New York, celebrating the irritatingly recurring time of year that all of the self-congratulatory super-socialites take the opportunity to stop patting themselves on the back and pat each other for awhile.  Last night, Betsy Johnson took the opportunity to share the limelight with the Great-Uncle of Glam, John Cale, the founding member of the Velvet Underground, to celebrate the release of his new record, "HoboSapiens."

The Daily News shows some residences bigger than a studio that are comptetively priced, such as a two bedroom co-op on Jane Street and a four bedroom house in Rego Park, Queens. The owner of the Queen house says, "It's a nice neighborhood, very quiet. It's just the opposite of Manhattan." Touche.

The insanely contentious wrangling between James Gandolfini and HBO over his salary may be coming to the a close: Bill Carter of the Times reports that both sides will probably drop their suits. This whole mess is like watching two babies fight. Yes, they are talented babies, and, yes, there are serious financial implications for both parties, but come on. That they are describing the negotiations as being like war is lame: "Executives on both sides even described the showdown in terms straight from the Cuban missile crisis. 'It's October 1962, and this is realpolitick,' one representative of Mr. Gandolfini said. An executive on HBO's side said, 'This can't be solved by us saying we'll take our missiles out of Turkey as soon as you give in.'" Everyone is getting all Art of War and self-important. I say leave war to the war mongerers.
