Dara Lehon, columnist for The Villager, is fast becoming our favorite Lower East Side nutjob. There are cars on Houston Street! They honk! And the exhaust is killing her ferns! The street signs are too big! The kids today eat brunch too late! People smoke outside!

She's like the Andy Rooney of the ghetto. We bet she's got fourteen cats in her cramped walk-up.
