In case you missed this yesterday, Gothamist posted several recently uploaded videos from the East Village … specifically 1986 and the corner of East Seventh Street and Avenue A… here's one of the short (54 seconds) videos...
Gothamist posted two other East Village home movies from the same time … which came via the Kinolibrary archive film collections.

Wow, seeing that makes me hate today even more.
Seeing Leshko's, Sal's and Syps all there, what a time capsule.
Young people, outdoor cafes, skinny hipsters - doesn't look much different today.
This is snipped from a Nelson Sullivan video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VN30eALfJYg
Seems like they do have the rights, but weird and sad that they don't credit Nelson Sullivan by name:

King Tut's Wah Wah Hut
Wasn't there a home video, something like "first day of summer Alphabet City" from this same corner? Why did everyone take home movies from the same spot?
@Anon 11:18... maybe this is the video you were thinking of?

It's because they're all shot by videographer Nelson Sullivan, who seems to have been fond of 7A, the restaurant on that corner.
