Looking at some East Village slush puddles



In another important journalistic endeavorWhile walking around yesterday afternoon, we started keeping tabs on the various slush puddles that had formed after the 87th day of snow this week.

The northwest corner of Third Avenue and East 10th Street sported some a fine moat of muck…



…the northeast corner of Avenue A and East Second Street could have been a contender… However, the fellows at Ave. A Deli & Food fashioned this footbridge for pedestrians…





One EVG Facebook friend said that the guys from the deli "were standing outside grinning at all of us who found it so helpful and nice."

  1. And THAT, friends, is why you should patronize local stores instead of chains. They look out for us.

  4. I walked all over town yesterday, through lakes of slush, and that was the ONLY thoughtful gesture I saw from any shopkeepers in the entire city. Literally the only one.

    Let me add that the fellows who work in there have been beyond charming to me - absolutely sweet gentlemen, very much in sync with the vibe of the neighborhood, not condescending or judgmental or dismissive of eccentricity, and very quick with a sincere smile and a joke. My only complaint is that they don't sell ham. :)
