Billy’s Antiques is a piece of craziness that holds on despite the gentrification around it. I’m sure that part of its longevity is the fact that this junk/curio/antique tent occupies a slender margin of land along Houston Street, not really wide enough for a building. Across the Bowery at Houston Street, Daniel Boulud is planning his latest culinary venture in the Big Apple. This one, to be called DBGB (Daniel Boulud Good Burger), is a few doors from the former punk club CBGB (Country BlueGrass Blues). Get it?
As the world turns here in Hobo (Houston Bowery).
