On the plus side, fans! There are many days this summer when fans might help tip a diner's decision in picking a restaurant. On the minus side, Houston St. It would be hard to pick a less charming street in Manhattan.
More than any other restaurant that I pass regularly, Spicy Moon has been experiencing an ongoing evolution. Starting from the bottom: they decided on garish neon early on as a design choice. They soon expanded the pink tape with other neon colors. Then they added bright red plastic dividers, with color-changing rope lights. In its most recent incarnation, the neon tape has been replaced with street art that reflects its vegan mission (note that the animals have "Save Me" written on them). Spicy Moon's food is amazing, and I was thrilled when they moved next door. I have almost no desire to eat in this space, however.
Beach balls as decoration. Did they have the idea independently? (FWIW, Bayard Ale House, on top, had them before I saw them at Jones, on bottom.) Also, do people steal them, or do drunk diners think it's funny to throw them into the street?
