Earlier this evening around Tompkins Square Park


Anyone have any idea why this patch of the sidewalk near the Ninth Street entrance at Avenue B is cordoned off with "Danger Do Not Enter" red tape?

    Yes, there are two GIANT broken limbs. You can see
    them from the 9th Street park entrance side. I thought
    they should have taken care of it immediately. When you see it won't believe no known was injured or killed.
    It should have been taken care of yesterday.

    Looking at the picture it might be a tree branch and they closed up the sidewalk.

    I thought it was a smoking area for the park.

    Jeez, I didn't even look up... I assumed there was some sort of sinkhole or pothole or, uh, something on the sidewalk....

    Yep, two humongous limbs-- although maybe not likely to jar loose unless a heavy wind were to hit.

    PS: Is it me, but does anyone find it funny that the parking spots adjacent are still taken?

    My oblivious ass has been running through this every morning for the past week...

    Maybe that's what those "Look Up NYC" tags in the street are all about.

    is this the fast track for LADY GAGA'S VIP room?

    Don't worry, never looking up is the sign of a true New Yorker - vestigial survival mechanism.

    Anyone taking wagers on whether the limbs will still be dangling after this storm that's about to roll in?
