Due to gentrification the Ear Inn now allows poodles
I mentioned how much I loved Philip Johnsons Glass House a while back; I didnt know that Johnsons last commission was a NYC development called the "Urban Glass House," a glass and concrete condo loosely reinterpreting the original (right next to the historic Ear Inn, and not too far from Bill and Amys apt):
