The NY Times was at the intersection yesterday and reports: "The intersection tends to be bustling and, at times, chaotic. Khalifa Salem, who works behind the counter at Fifth Avenue Deli and Smoke Shop, said a minivan swerved off the street and crashed into the storefront in 2013. Two months ago, he added, a dog was hit. And on Sunday afternoon, two cars collided outside the store."
