I had a story and photo in yesterday’s New York Times City section about the blogger behind Jeremiah’s Vanishing New York.

Walking the Lower East Side with Jeremiah to research the story was a lot of fun considering I was with the prophet of doom.

On a related note, there was a great story in last week’s New York Times magazine about the Second Avenue Deli, which closed last year.

The good news is the deli is slated to reopen soon. The bad news for the Lower East Side is that the new Second Avenue Deli will open in Midtown.
