Okay, this part is still true ;-)...

This neighborhood has been, and remains, a regular haunt of mine, for 
the past 28 years or so. My aunt still lives in Stuyvesant Town, I 
went to Stuyvesant High School, and my son has gone to school for the 
past couple of years waaaay uptown at 21st Street and First Avenue. 
One of the high schools he'll be applying to is in the building 
formerly occupied by Stuyvesant (he also applied there, but they've 
moved).

But I discovered to my great chagrin just a week or two ago that 
Christine's is no more. There is a little Polish/Ukranian restaurant 
about half a block south of where Christine's used to be, but the 
neighborhood is changing. Much of the Polish community that used to 
occupy that area is now in Greenpoint, Brooklyn...
