It seems حبيبي Gourmet, 64th St., is not closed for renovation but has closed for good, to be replaced by a Nepalese restaurant (5152).
Queens Blvd. (5153). Canned mackerel, hot sauce, frozen tilapia, flounder and salmon, rinds, mesh back‐scrubber, leafy table scatter, a felt acorn decoration and name tags (for NYBD), and dragon‐slaying helmet and sword/dagger (for Halloween) from 💲🌳. Children in every aisle. Used my debit card because I didn’t have quite enough cash, and the friendly cashier agreed with me that the sound indicating the transaction’s being accepted instead sounded like it was declined.
Blurry man on 63rd St. (5154–55).
64th St. (5156–57). Fallen bough (5156). Saw about five cyclists in single file go past on Roosevelt Ave., some doing wheelies, but I wasn’t fast enough with my camera (5157).
