I walked past Omakase Shihou today at 1586 Second Avenue (corner of 82nd) and noticed the signage was out of the window box in front.
A couple of calls to them went to a voice mail with no message. They then returned my call and said the location was closed and recommended their location at 988 Second Ave, 2nd floor, bet 52nd and 53rd.
Shihou is next door to Sushi Ren, who has closed as well although is still taking delivery orders. They are reportedly looking for a new location.

Dorrian's Red Hand (1616 Second Ave, corner of 84th), always known as simply Dorrian’s, a neighborhood fixture since 1960 is putting the finishing touches on their new and expanded outdoor seating.

Owner of Taroo made a post complaining about the people who sell food to construction workers outside her shop. She’s since deleted it from Instagram, but I have a screenshot from Facebook. I disagree with her complaint, but that alone wouldn’t be worth posting about. Her tagging the Department of Homeland Security and liking a post about calling ICE is. She has a plethora of horrible Google reviews and is clearly not someone worth supporting.

Salvo’s Pizzabar (1477 York Avenue, corner of 78th) is closed for vacation until August 20th. The paper up on the windows suggests perhaps some renovations are being done as well.
What’s interesting about this corner spot is that a pizza parlor has occupied it under various owners since I went there as a child in the 1970’s. Back then it was a spot called Little Robin’s.

Hi, I have an off market opportunity for a rent stabilized unit on a prime block on the UES - E 83rd. It's an oversized studio with high ceilings and tucked away kitchen, good closet space and renovated bathroom. My favorite feature is that it shares a private landscaped garden with 3 other units only, great community. Building is well maintained, and great location that can't be beat. This one will go fast!

I peaked into the window today of the long (long) awaited H Mart at 223 East 86th St.
There does appear to be progress being made on the interior buildout.
The 8,500-square-foot space was purchased towards the end of 2022.

I don’t know what’s going into the former Moduwa York 84 Bagels & Deli space but I’ve noticed daily work being done in it.
These pictures are from today.

I walked past this today, it was my first time seeing it.
Mr. Magu, a juice stand located on Second Ave bet. 79th & 80th, east side of the street.
