Week-end self-serve



I'm not one for weeks in review and what not ... but it did seem to be a busy week... As always,thank you for your comments... and news tips

So! A quick recap of a few of the posts....

• We looked at Allen Ginsberg's former apartment

• We called for a new bandshell for Tompkins Square Park.

• We watched Ray featured on CNNmoney.com.

• We discovered that "Party Girls" who like to be victim's of "sexy humor" were needed.

• We looked at night-time photos of the Copper Building (31 comments)

• We watched a video of the "underground" grilled cheese peddler (18 comments)

• We looked back at Shepard Fairey's mural on Houston and the Bowery

• We helped The East Side Community School compete for $500,000

• We learned that Red Mango closed

• We took pity on a sick Barney

• We met the former East Village "hipster" who may or may not owe the IRS big bucks

Named Best Neighborhood Blog in the First Annual Village Voice Web Awards

We love tips

Have a story idea or tip about something happening in the East Village? Or maybe a photo? Or several photos? Or video! We'd love to hear about it. Or see it. Or something. Please go here to submit a tip.

By the way

Here, you'll find things that you may or may not be interested in about the East Village and other parts of New York City. Appreciating what's here while it's still here. Remembering what's no longer here. Wishing some things weren't here that are here.
