A new comedic play that’s coming to Manhattan’s off-off Broadway circuit in March aims to show a different side of New York City’s “guidos.””The Guido Monologues: Evolution of the Italian Americans,” opens March 8 at The Producers Club Theater on West 44th Street. The cast and crew, according to a press release, are largely Bronx-born and raised, and the play itself focuses on several characters growing up in the Boogie Down.But don’t expect this to be an episode of “Jersey Shore” on stage, says the producer: the play wants to spread a “more positive message about Italian American culture,” than Snooki does.

Walked past a sturdy, 60ish woman this morning shoveling her walkway for perhaps the eighth or 15th time this winter. She smiled and rolled her eyes and looked at me. “Just making way for the next one,” she said. We both chuckled and cursed, knowing full well, it’s not over.Indeed, the National Weather Service has issued a “Winter Storm Watch” for the Bronx this week and says snow could come as soon as tonight, with more on the way Tuesday, with lingering flurries continuing into Wednesday. Sigh.
