Actually, it's still a great neighborhood, but the gentrification is a little scary.
My experiences in Alphabet City (in the 70s) doesn't quite reach to include boutiques and snooty culinary establishments purveying undigestible meals. I presume the local HQ of the NYC Hell's Angels has re-located from 2nd St? ;-) She believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist. -- Jean-Paul Sartre
But still, it's food -- not slashed prices on paisley mumus and 1960s-model SupHose -- that draws everyone to that neighborhood now. And lest you think it's all "indigestible," besides WD-50, there's also Schiller Bar and my current favorite cheap eaterie, Zucco: Le French Diner.
Alphabet City is a little rich for my diet these days. And I've wondered for years whatever happened to the Hell's Angels down there. They added such caché to that neighborhood.
