OH!
Last week, two interesting things happened...
1) The NY Post went up from 25 cents to 50 cents. -For some that's interesting, for some others, not so much.
However...
2) The Ollie's in Times Square has shuttered. Apparently, the Carmine's next bought it out and will be expanding into the space. I came across a new Ollie's on 42nd between 9th and 10th, next to West Bank Cafe. I almost went to dinner the other night, but when I walked in, the place looked a bit smaller, a bit more fancy, and the prices were a little higher too. -Although, they have expanded their menu to include some more "real Chinese" items. I'm just wondering how they're going to be now that they're not off the main drag (Broadway). No more five minute walk to the theatre after a dinner there - unless you're heading across the street to Theatre Row or Playwrights Horizons.
I guess we Hainsies and Kimlets will now have to find a new "good ole stand-by" place to eat in Times Square.
