Stoops to Nuts Says Goodbye to Steve Northeast

Steve Northeast

Thank you, Tricia Alexandro, Leslie Goshko, Michael Gural-Maiello and Steve Northeast for a wonderful show last night at "City Stories: Stoops to Nuts." A fun time but a sad one, too. We said goodbye to Steve Northeast our host and friend down the stairs in the cabaret. The audience was full of folks who have known Steve during his 11 years at Cornelia and everyone showed their love and affection. Easy to do when your feelings are true. The place will not be the same without Steve. Thank you, Robin Hirsch, Angelo Verga & Joshua Rebell for letting us play in your house. Thank you, Paul for keeping the customers satisfied. Thank you, to a fine crowd who came inside to support us on a lovely night.

I started my day in Bay Ridge, arrived at Cornelia early and walked around the area near the Cafe. The fading light on Leroy Street, put me in a trance.

Here is a link to photos from last night's show and more photos of the neighborhood.

***************************

In the 1939 Works Project Administration Guide to New York City the Yorkville neighborhood boundaries were described as 59th to 96th Street and Lexington Avenue to the East River. Most people I grew up with do not agree with that footprint. Especially the southern boundary. But on our many excursions years ago down to 59th Street to make sure the bridge was still there or to ease Mom's Bloomingdale's window shopping itch, I at least felt like I was in the same country.

Today, if you're in the vicinity of the bridge, and you look around, there are still iconic reminders of what the area looked like back when and surprise beauty in unexpected places.

Shown here: photos of the Second Avenue El turning east at 59th Street towards Queens. You can see the storage sign that's still there today and the kiosk for the trolley that crossed the river. At the 61st Street exit ramp the wall of ivy stretching up to a water tower is a perfect distraction from the speeding cars tearing turns or idling impatiently. Any time you are near a bridge or tunnel entrance or exit look around carefully because there are always signs of what came before.
