Rumormongering

Is John's of Bleecker Street in danger of losing its lease? Jeremiah Moss heard that the storied pizzeria might be closing soon, but thankfully, an employee vehemently denied the rumor. Moss writes: "I pass this one along because it's a good reminder to take the time to enjoy the authentic New York places we still have. We know now that anything can vanish, no matter how successful and revered, at any time." [JVNY]
