It’s industrial Brooklyn. The tax records say 501, but the door (of sorts) says 493. Who knows what it’s all about? The Stagg Street Shadow knows.

?????????? is right. It always surprises me to see how ramshackle New York can look.
ReplyDeleteI forwarded this post to a former student living far away from here. He informed me that it is currently the location of a rather good Korean restaurant.
ReplyDeleteCould it be a different Stagg Street? Google Maps shows this area as totally industrial, with nothing that resembles a restaurant.
ReplyDeleteI am told that the area is industrial but that there is a very good Korean restaurant in the neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteI see — just not at that address.
