Hillside Cemetery is the final resting place for Joey Ramone (aka Jeff Hyman). He died on April 15, 2001.

On the tombstone it reads "Hyman, Jeff. May 19, 1951- April 15, 2001. Loving son and brother. A.K.A. Joey Ramone. Rock and Roll Hall of Famer."

Probably could of added "godfather of punk" without much objection.

On November 30, 2003, this corner was officially renamed "Joey Ramone Place" by the city of New York. It is the block where Joey once lived with bandmate Dee Dee Ramone, and near the former site of CBGB.

Interestingly, the Joey Ramone Place sign is the most stolen sign in New York City. Most street signs are placed between 12 to 14 feet, but this one is now hung at 20 feet to deter theft.

The 2004 documentary "I Like Killing Flies," filmed and directed by Matt Mahurin, reveals the approach to cooking, philosophy, and life of the unique proprietor, Kenny Shopsin.

The film shows an irreverent and opinionated Shopsin creating amazing food while being highly selective of people he allows into the community that his restaurant has created.

The menu has over 900 items, including more than 300 soups. Just follow the rules, or you will get kicked the f**k out (absolutely no parties over four people).
