lower east side

when i checked out the sartorialist this morning i couldn't resist posting this image. not only is the girl featured oh so wayward, but the pic is shot on rivington st. nyc, in the lower east side - wayne's favourite spot in the big apple and a locale reminiscent of great memories with great people. coincidentally, the buzz in toronto's culinary circle this week is that local haute chef susur lee will be leaving hog town to set up shop in the lower east side in the upcoming months. while many are up in arms at the loss of such great talent and the closing of susur (the reasonably priced lee will remain open), other supporters wish susur bon chance in a high stakes game.
