Get your morning scoop on the foodie ghost of CBGB's, Frank's Fish Market, some outdoor film series for kids, Jacques Torres' new shop and a tweet from a resident of the collapsed building in Brooklyn in today's local blog round-up.
- A hot dog bun full of NYC foodies got an opening look at DBGB Kitchen and Bar, the new "beer and bratwurst" spot hosted in the skeleton of CBGB's on Bowery. So this, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, is where punk goes to die. It gets wrapped up in a swine's intestine, grilled on a beautiful, stainless-steel grille and sold for a few bucks on the profit. Money-grubbing landlords never tasted so good (so they say)! [Crains New York]
- The shuttered Frank's Fish Market of Washington Heights gets a better-late-than-never mourning from Lost City, which notes hedge fund billionaire Glenn Dubin once scaled fish at the 70-year old shop located on Broadway between 179th and 180th streets. [Lost City]
- An NYC-based mommyblogger gives us a run-down of the city's best outdoor film series for kids. RiverFlicks, the Bryant Park Film Festival and Summer Screen at McCarren Park all get a shout-out. [MommyPoppins]
- Chocolate man Jacques Torres recently opened an ice cream spot in DUMBO, where flavors like the "Love Bug" and "Wicked" are pleasing the notoriously devilish foodies of Brooklyn. [Your Nabe]
- Andrew Schneider, an assumed resident of apartment 3B in the collapsed building on Myrtle Avenue in Brooklyn, was in LA when he heard the bad news yesterday. So, he took to Twitter to announce the situation and ask, "Any experience with this? How to get my stuff?" Related: An image on Google Streetview, taken long before yesterday's collapse, clearly shows a crack running alongside the building's outside wall. [Mashable]
