Since the early 1950s, perhaps earlier, the low slung red brick building on the corner of Vandam and Varick in the Village was the home to the country's first Spanish language newspaper, El Diario/La Prensa. On March 11, 1992, Manuel de Dios Unanuem, the editor of El Diario, was shot and killed by a member of a Columbian drug cartel bent on revenge for Unaneum's courageous reporting against the Columbian drug warlords.
El Diario eventually left Varick, but is still going strong. The building the paper occupied has been empty for years, or so I thought. Today, I noticed it's a beautiful new, block long City Winery! Now, open businesses are better than closed ones, but this corner of the Village has been overrun of late. Of course, a Starbucks is across the street. Across from that, a giant 40 story Trump Tower is being built, this in an old industrial area that wasn't zoned for condos, until Mayor Bloomberg, against all local protests and Landmark Preservation committee requests, pushed it through.
Oh, Trump was in such a rush to beat the hearings on the construction (before Bloomie gave him a pass) that one guy laying concrete fell off the 37th floor and died. But still the blue glass goes up. Nice bar, eh? That barrel to the right adds an "old Village touch."
Here's where the hostess will check you out. Hmm. What are you wearing, sir?
The window of high end clothier, Atelier, also across from City Winery. Don't these shoes looked used to you?
Wrinkled shoes for $500 a pair? This is the future of the Village I am afraid...

$500 for those shoes! No way! I could get some very similar-looking shoes for $10 at our local Mission Thrift Store ...if I wanted to. But, I don't want to.
I just can't comprehend paying $500 for a pair of shoes.
"I Spy" Ken Mac in the next to the last photo. I caught your reflection in the window! Nice camera, too!
How about they give me the $500 and I will donate my wrinkled shoes to them?
What a sad piece of history. But I do love how the winery looks — such warm colors. I believe the used look is called 'distressed.' I had a leather backpack with the style. But $500 for a pair of shoes?! Have them sent over here and that'll go to building half of a low-cost house for the poor. Great reporting, Ken!
Don't forget to register for the January theme day! And the February 2009 theme poll is up! Please vote if you haven't already :)
Oh my, I would like a glass of wine but maybe some where else??? THose are the ugliest damn shoes I ever saw. What a rip off. Let's go back to the White Horse.V
With those places surrounding it, I would say that this is the perfect spot for a Winery. It does look like a lovely place and those barrels are charming. A lovely post Ken Mac. Thanks for sharing.
things are getting bought up even in these times Ken? It has definitely slowed down on this coast.
sad story indeed.....Your presentation was marvellous....
Enjoyed your post.
Ken, hi, haven't blogged for awhile. I just checked in and saw your post to me, thanks, I'm ok, just a lot going on.
The boots, guess it's that broken in look, to match our IRA accounts. :)
