From Sheffield’s goshdarngood blog about NYC’s historic relativity and so much more:
The
Moondance Diner—Soho landmark, employer of Jonathan Larson and
Spiderman’s girlfriend, last free-standing diner in
Manhattan—finally closed on July 1, following months of press
coverage about its imminent demise.
Condo builders, rejoice! You have triumphed again.
According
to Metro, the structure won’t be scrapped but shipped to a museum in
the Keystone State. So we can visit it. But it doesn’t sound like you
could get cheese fries in a museum diner.
Manager Billy Genat
said something fascinatingly peculiar: “You can see the sun through
these windows now, but you won’t be able to see the sun anymore
when the condos come. It will look like the triangle of the devil.”
Triangle of the Devil. Right now it’s called Avenue of the Americas. Think City Hall will approve a street name change?
