Boris and Horton, the dog friendly coffee shop, now hiring on Avenue A

Work continues at the northwest corner of Avenue A and 12th Street for Boris & Horton, billed as "New York's first dog friendly coffee shop and community space."

Signage points to a winter 2017 debut (sometime before March 20 then).

Meanwhile, Boris is hiring... (Must love dogs?)



As cut and pasted previously: the space will be divided by a glass wall into two sections, per Department of Health rules. There will be a cafe side with food and drinks for humans, and a dog-friendly side that will sell pet supplies.

The owners are Logan Holzman and her father, Coppy. The cafe is named after their dogs. The Holzmans have said that they will host dog adoption events here.

Honeyhaus is the latest departure on 11th Street

Honeyhaus, a coffee shop on 11th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue, has apparently closed. The space has been cleared out and the phone disconnected.

I don't know when this happen. EVG reader AgNO3 left a comment about the closure this past weekend.

The owner, Andre Muñez, previously ran a clothing boutique in this space called Catalog.

It's been a tough year for this block. This closure follows the departures of the coffee shop-boutique Fair Folks & a Goat as well as Anna, Odin and Pas de Deux.

The cafe opened as Honey House in August 2014. The name morphed into Honeyhaus at some point.

The 'other' hawk

As Goggla first pointed out on Friday, Christo, the red-tailed hawk of Tompkins Square Park, has been seen in the companionship of another hawk while Dora recuperates from an injured wing.

The Park's hawkarazzi have been busy keeping an eye on the new hawk, called Not-Dora (Nora?) or Arod (for the opposite of Dora, plus Arod had an affair with Madonna).

Steven shared these photos of the new hawk hanging around the Park...













This relationship has possibly been blown out of proportion. To date, Christo and Not-Dora have only been spotted sharing a branch and, possibly, a rat.

As Goggla wrote on Friday:

Red-tails mate for life and the good news is Dora is alive. She will be released back into the park when she is healed, but that could take some time. What will happen at that time remains to be seen. I'm hoping everything will work out as it should.

Santa Claus is back on 14th and 1st

The Christmas-tree-selling crew on 14th Street near First Avenue broke out the inflatable Santa this morning, as EVG regular Pinch notes ... and just in time for some picturesque snowfall photo opps, like this one...

This inflatable is a little more cheery than the previous models — Grubby ol' St. Nick, Trailer Park Santa Claus, Half-in-the-Bag Santa, etc. — on this corner.
