Here’s a story from Eater about the new Latin diner Coppelia located at 207 W 14th Street. They’re expecting to have a full bar soon and will be expanding their hours to 24/7…
“What’s the best thing on the menu? The huevos rancheros, because you can order them any time. We have a Cuban sandwich with shredded pork and ham, and it’s delicious. There’s also a similar sandwich called a pan con lechon and they put smoked pieces of pork rind in there, so when you bite into the sandwich, there’s some crunch and it’s delicious.”

Fat Black Pussycat Sign Painted Over By Panchito’s
Lost City spotted a comment on Ephemeral New York’s site noting that the Fat Black Pussycat sign above the back entrance to Panchito’s on Minetta Street had been painted over.
The Fat Black Pussycat coffee bar first opened as The Commons in 1958 and took on the Fat Black Pussycat name after its expansion in 1962. By 1972 The Fat Black Pussycat was gone and Panchito’s was in. Still, the legacy of The Fat Black Pussycat has loomed large as people like Bob Dylan, Bill Cosby, Mama Cass Eliot, and Richie Havens all played there.
The Fat Black Pussycat sign with its faded black and red letters became iconic over the years and was an attraction in itself for people who wanted to catch a small glimpse of what Minetta Street might have looked like on the night Bob Dylan sat in The Fat Black Pussycat and wrote Blowin’ In The Wind.

We can see Birreria being an alluring summertime destination once the sun goes down, the Empire State Building lights up, and the surrounding buildings transform into illuminated jewel boxes.”
