Hygrade’s All Beef Hot Dogs – Sixth Avenue – Greenwich Village, NYC – Happy Halloween

I remember when the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade was a fun little community event full of drag queens and local school children and their families. After 1984, it seemed to get out of control. Haven’t been to it in years. Tell me, how are they lately. Is it safe for a local drag performer?

Across the street from the Capron Lofts is the old V.H. Lang Trophies building. The trophy shop closed its doors last month (May) as the owners sought retirement, and it has been rumored that the building was recently sold to an unknown investor. Can you imagine lofts or retail space in this tired-looking historic structure? Will you be the change maker in this city to make that happen? – Signs of life: the next “HOT” Neighborhood?
