Did you know?
January 2009 - The latest hipster joint for socializing and drinking comes in the form of the subterranean lounge, Chloe. To enter, you must know the doorway, for that is the true mark of the hipster wold in 2009. Door knowledge is power (so is the number of a good car service late at night). In this case, the door is on Ludlow Street and Chloe is right underneath the French bistro Casanis. So now you know. Doesn't the photo to the right look like a lucious banquette.
the underground bar lounge, Chloe
Beware, the leftover white subway tile from McNally's Schiller's Liquor Bar is a featured part of the decor here! Soft lights, red banquettes, nice date place if there was anything else around.

January 2009 - While it was announced during 2008 that Streit's matzo factory would pull up its roots on Rivington Street on the Lower East Side, the economic downturn of the summer and fall of 2008 altered those plans for the factory.
The company's initial hope was to leave the lower east side and move its factory operations entirely to New Jersey. This caused quite an uproar when it was announced in 2008; many decried the final days of the Jewish Lower East Side were near (Katz Deli still holds down a corner on East Houston Street).
