Until recently, I thought dub was just something that rhymed with rub. I am so much cooler now that I know it's a kind of pie whose name stands for Down Under Bakery. Those pies are mostly savory, containing various steak, chicken and vegetable fillings. I had the curry vegetable for dinner last night and while eating it rubbed my tummy with gestures of great satisfaction. We wanted a key lime but by 5pm they were sold out of those. I'm really glad to have dub in the neighborhood, on the corner of 16th and Prospect Park West. The pies remind me of empanadas, and I want empanadas, good and inexpensive ones, as soon as possible.
This summer and fall I watched many of the shops on PPW die. The street had an eerie empty, windswept feeling. Now, by God, we have Pie. Can I even believe it? No.
They sell art there, presently they've hung works by a person named Hamish and one has sold. Does Hamish like pie? I should think so. But did Hamish paint the dub truck? Who painted it? It makes me happy, I don't know about you.
Universal Video, there behind the truck, is now out of business as most people know. No longer is it Universal. It is now Nive, which apparently is a river that courses through the Basque region of France. Nive would be a good name for an overpriced boutique.
