Roots Rock Hummus

I was walking down St. Mark's Place, oh, about sixteen days ago, when I saw this car in front of the beloved St. Dymphna's:

Roots: The microbrew of hummus.

I thought to myself: You could reverse that — Roots: The hummus of microbrew — and it would mean basically the same thing! Except about microbrew.

Then, five days ago, I passed by again, on the other side of the street, and there was the same car, so I took another picture and had the same idea, about microbrew and hummus.

Roots: The hummus of microbrew.

What's that supposed to mean — it's made in someone's basement?

Babe Bartendep

As I mentioned earlier, I was out walking last night, in the cold.

While out walking, I saw this sign, outside St. Dymphna's, a popular bar on St. Mark's Place:

St. Dymphnas, in the snow.

In case you can't read it, here's a close-up:

Babe bartendep.

My first thought was of the movie "Babe", the award-winning story of a shy little pig who doesn't quite know his place, but with the help of an assortment of barnyard friends, discovers that he can be anything he wants to be! (East Villagers love "Babe"!)

I knew that's not what was meant though.

I suspect this was done by a customer, and not the owner. It's not Coyote Ugly, after all!
