Okey-dokey!
And here is
The Robyn website … where you can learn more about, uh, The Robyn … (anyone care to explain that name and its connection to the neighborhood?) …

So, to recap some recent history here, where a lovely home with gardens stood for nearly 177 years just a few storefronts to the west of Avenue D…
Workers finished demolishing the house in March 2012. The home was last owned by Barden Prisant, a former member of Community Board 3, who now lives in Brooklyn.
According to an article on living in Prospect Park South in the
Times dated Oct. 6, 2011, Prisant and his wife "decided to sell their house in the East Village because a tall building was to go up next to their beloved backyard." (The in-progress
Alphabet Plaza.)
Preservation groups to try to protect the circa-1835 house here, but the Landmarks Preservation Commission rejected a hearing.
