For everyone still wringing their hands that the Bowery has gotten too gentrified, Patricia Field did her part to junk it up a little over the weekend.
We aren't slamming La Field, who for all her eccentricity has become a New York cultural figure who is generally above reproach. Her weekend sidewalk sale just reminded us for a moment how messy and funky the Bowery, and the East Village in general, used to be. With CBGB's soon to be a John Varvatos boutique, the Bowery has long since passed the gentrification point of no return, but at least Pat Field is keeping it amusing over there.
