I don't know if it's been mentioned, but it's a cash only place...

Yay! Good for you. I went again last month, and I had lamb with braised cabbage, then bread pudding. Amazing. The chef is really, really good. We have to support Heath's project in Brooklyn!
Re L'Orange Bleue: Meryl, thank you! And thank you all.

L'Orange Bleue Project Series: A Site-Specific Portrait Series that playfully re-creates the experience of a remarkable place in time. The show consists of 24 interchangeable portraits that vigorously portray regular personalities who dramatically affect the dynamic of this particular space on any given night. The installation will open with the intensity of all 24 portraits. After the first weeks, the piece will become "move-able," exhibiting 8-24 portraits at a time, rotating them randomly. Every rotation, producing a different combination of characters, will impact the mood and feel of the space differently, as do actual gatherings of the characters they represent.

I really like the portraits. Most of them seem to be drummers (percussion artistes!)--as Monday nights at L'Orange Bleue seems to be, uhm, intense! Look:
Stephan Lacovelli Drums, Roman Keflay Claps,
Michel Malfeson Portrait
Installation Shot, Portrait of Roman Keflay
Jean Dumas and Maki Siraj on Drums
Nice!
;D

I'm convinced Heath would have loved this! And right opposite his front door? Please!

You're right John. I thought the very same. Just seeing the building is still sad. :(

The person behind you also wears stripes. Somehow fitting for the photo ;D. And someone else in one of the pics has a hooded sweater with white and dark blue stripes. I also have one: hoodie, stripes, colors - all the same :).
I like all the paintings, especially the one to the right in this pic:
The person pictured seems gentle and he has warm, kind eyes.
I think Heath would have approved of the location. It's cool.
