posted Oct 4, 2008

solid news on what's up at the old Larkin space on Lark. And it was met with some skepticism and a little disappointment.

+ Three things a the NYS Museum aren't necessarily worth stopping by for individually, but as a trio they might be.

+ Amy went shopping a restaurant supply store on Central Ave. And be sure to check out the article Rob posted in the comments.

+ We spotted a rolling, changing billboard driving down Western Ave in Albany.

+ Eliot Spitzer hails his own cabs now.

+ What was up in the Neighborhood this week: dinner parties, rooftop parties, addition, the election, hipsters, and Rosh Hashanah generosity.

+ Kirsten Gillibrand is a Blue Dog Democrat.

+ Jessica visited a bra store where the ladies aren't shy with the tape measure.

+ We talked with siblings John and Maeve McEneny about John's play The Grippe of October -- Maeve is directing a production of it at Siena.

+ Amy let us in on some rummage sale strategy.

+ We still haven't recovered from watching Rachael Ray do this to an ear of corn.

+ And we took a tour of the newly-opened EMPAC. Here's a photo tour.
