Gin Palace Collapsing

Back in August, I wrote about a place on Avenue A and East 6th Street called Gin Palace. Today, I walked past only to find that the building's walls are being shored up with braces:

I don't know if the braces are preventative, since work is being done on the sidewalk there on East 6th Street, or if the walls are buckling as a result of the sidewalk work.

The East Village is built on a swamp, after all!

Gin Palace

This is a photo of a place called Gin Palace, on Avenue A:

I don't have anything to say about it; I just like the way it looks. People who like to drink in dark places might like this place. I don't know — I've never been inside.
