The city is like this in places, one stratum revealed beneath the next, except in the places that have been excavated down to bedrock to make the past disappear. I end up talking to one of the Patricks while the other Patrick is pasting a Chairman Mao to the wall. Patrick tells me how the images and text have all been pulled from comics, movie posters, and other ephemera. He says, \u201cWe consider ourselves scavengers\u201d of pop culture. And then Chairman Mao needs direction. \u201cTear it a little more,\u201d Patrick tells Patrick. \u201cA little more. That\u2019s right.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>4:05 P.M. <\/strong>Houston takes me to Eldridge then to Stanton, where I think to detour into the Fusion Arts Museum, one of those places I\u2019ve been meaning to visit but never have, only it\u2019s not Fusion Arts anymore. It\u2019s a new gallery, something called Lambert Fine Arts. The once colorful gate of bicycle parts, propellers, and bombs has been painted solid gray. I go inside anyway and check out Terrenceo\u2019s paintings on pizza boxes, portraits of people taking their own photos in mirrors with cell phones, our tepid new expression of despair. Downstairs, Allison Berkoy\u2019s spooky dolls are muttering to each other with their talking video faces, none of them listening to what the others have to say. <!--more--><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/billboard.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-25087\" title=\"The Patricks at work.\" src=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/billboard.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/billboard.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.theparisreview.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/01\/billboard-225x300.jpg 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (min-width: 62.5em) 67vw, 100vw\" \/><\/a>Back outside, saggy-pants boys on the corner cheer for a trio of pirates, who go sailing past on bicycles tricked out in cardboard schooners.

A luxury boutique has moved in next to Sammy\u2019s Roumanian. It makes me nervous with its de riguer gold-leaf lettering and bespoke suits, its use of the word <em>atelier<\/em>. In Sammy\u2019s entryway, I duck in for a quick look. They\u2019re setting up for supper. A seltzer siphon sits regally on every table. One man shouts to another, \u201cI know he was taking photos of her bellybutton!\u201d I help myself to a free offering of Alka-Seltzer\u2019s \u201ceffervescent tablets\u201d in personal packets and a one-page <em>Dictionary of Basic Yiddish<\/em>. It\u2019s all jokes from another era. What is a FARGENIGEN? A date with Elizabeth Taylor. KNADEL? A delayed atom bomb. And KANE EISHORREH can only mean Tommy Manville. Who?

My own supper awaits at Ray\u2019s, so it\u2019s on to Delancey and across Bowery, through the ravaged Lighting District that used to feel like walking inside a giant crystal chandelier. Now it\u2019s the usual condos, galleries, boutiques. You could have snapped it all together from injection-molded plastic sheets.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4:35 P.M.<\/strong> On Kenmare, an abandoned brunette wig sits on the sidewalk, drawing attention to itself. People point and stare, skip around it like it\u2019s an animal that might bite. They take its picture. Who knew a wig on the sidewalk could be so otherworldly?<\/p>\n<p><strong>4:45 P.M.<\/strong> I go back up Mulberry and peek inside Rocky\u2019s Italian Restaurant. They just got the boot from their landlord after thirty-odd years in business. Their brand-new neighbor, foodie favorite Balaboosta, is getting the space instead. This is how it goes these days on Mulberry. Through the plate-glass window, the chefs of Balaboosta sharpen their glittering knives.
