The Mayor of Rome, Gianni Alemanno, has just announced that his city will be paving over historic cobblestone streets to accommodate high-heeled shoes in certain thoroughfares. Gothamist dangerously alluded to the idea that New York City could pave over the historic cobblestoned streets of the Meat Packing District.

Those cobblestones are our only deterrent for the Sex and The City wannabes of “Meat-packingggg,” as their stiletto-trapping grooves are like reverse speed bumps for hussies. They were our only way to slow down the prostitutes back in the day, and we still need them very much presently. Not to mention these cobblestones are a rare and historic design element in the City.

With last year’s restoration of TriBeCa cobblestones, any repaving seems highly unlikely, and the rightfully fussy old-guard Villagites on Community Board 2 would squash it faster than a food truck on Hudson Street.
