Goodbye to Empire Diner

I found out today that the Empire Diner located in Chelsea NYC will be closing thier doors this May. It has been there for over 30 years and has been enjoyed by many locals, celebrities and has been featured even in movies like "Men in Black".

I lived in Chelsea from about 1985 to 1988 and frequented that diner. Even after leaving the city it was a place I would always go back to here and there. Just recently met my buddy Peter there for brunch and glad we did since I doubt I will be able to get back there for another time before it closes next month.

I was so excited that I may be getting an apartment in NYC again after all these years and I planned on enjoying weekend brunch with my doggie "Shannon" in tow at the Empire Diner.

It really saddens me. The Empire Diner is a staple of New York City and will be much missed.

Rice for Sale

Right about now I am at day 3 and sick of the rice diet solution. Will stick it out a bit longer otherwise I will be stuck with all this brown rice!

Bathroom finally done

Bathroom updates have finally been completed. The tile shower area was redone with Bathroom fitter, new plumbing and new shower doors. So far I am VERY happy with thier product. Also we replaced the old 80's grey sink and toilet. Last finishing touches was re-grouting the tiles on the walls and floors.

Here are the BEFORE and AFTER pictures
