Katz’s famous sandwiches, pickles and knishes are confirmed. The art is on the walls. The bar is stocked (I saw the shipment last night with my own eyes, I did). We’re good to go for tonight’s opening reception, 6:00-9:00 at Lolita Bar, featuring the Lower East Side’s most generous happy hour till 8:00.

Hope you can make it. (click for directions to Lolita, 266 Broome St. @ Allen)
