Double-wide is a terrible new addition to the block and is making life miserable for the residents who live above it, behind it and even across the street. Just because someone stayed open during the storm doesn't make them a great addition to the neighborhood. Double-wide wasn't giving out anything for free, they were just open doing what they do.

The wonderful woman at Posto gave us a giant bag of ice which had miraculously not melted in their ice machine, and which helped us until the dry ice arrived at Union Square.

Hugs to the lady in the jack o lantern shirt who was giving out candy to kids and adults outside the 6B Garden on Halloween. And lady who saw me fumbling at the payphone outside magazine store on A and handed me 2 quarters from a roll she was carrying. Also, what was up with the awesome phone reception at the corner of 9th and C by Esperanto?

Regulars volunteered to help Roman and work behind the counter.<br /><br />The Mud Truck was going with espressos, and they ran lights into their store where folks could sit and have beer/wine.<br /><br />Luke's Lobster was serving lobster rolls, grilled cheese, and various kinds of soups/bisque from their truck parked in front of their store.<br /><br />Abraco was serving pour-over slow drip coffee and pastries until they ran out of ground beans. They would grind beans and bake out at their facility in Brooklyn, come back over first thing in the morning, and run until about noon or so while supplies lasted.<br /><br />East Village pizza was open every day until midnight with candles and headlamps.<br /><br />The department of health was starting to pester some places starting on Thursday. I don't think they forced anyone to close but they were giving them the "without electricity how are you getting hot water to clean your hands and properly sterilize things?" routine.David S.

The people who run this store are so well organized and resiliant they will probably close 20 minutes before the apocalypse -- not sooner. <br /><br />The Mud Truck (and about fifty people waiting in line to get their caffeine fix) was the first thing I saw upon venturing out on the street after Sandy -- an incredibly uplifting sight. <br /><br />Veselka was open, and so was the corner store on NE 1st/7th. <br /><br />I also want to thank everybody who provided power for their neighbors to change phones, like an unknown person living at E606 9th. While I did not need this myself, it definitely helped a lot to just see this happening in my neighborhood. Hurricanes and other disasters suck, but the East Village is probably a good place to be in when they happen. <br /><br />Thank you.
