SEE YA, IRENE

Hurricane Irene has come and gone, thankfully the damage downtown was minimal. Here are a few before and afters from around the West Village...

The calm before the storm and a gorgeous sunset...

No bread for you (or peanut butter), apparently PB&Js are a staple of the Hurricane diet...

Still no one was brave enough to buy anything perishable...

This dog felt embarassed about his rain jacket and wouldn't hold still for a pic...

 Stores starting closing early on Sat in anticipation of the storm.

 Not surprisingly a lot of the bars stayed open...

 The  aftermath, a lot of leaves and branches down.

How did you survive the storm?
