You won't shoot your eye out with the Flavor of the Month at Mikey Likes It on Avenue A

As previously noted, I always like Andre Trenier's 1980s-inspired murals on the roll-down gate at Mikey Likes It, 199 Avenue A near East 12th Street.

This month it's Ralphie from "A Christmas Story."

And the flavor of the month: "Christmas Story" — an egg nog ice cream with carrot cake chunks and pumpkin pie pieces.

But Ralphie did so many cute things in that movie. We couldn't have him on Santa's lap or holding that leg-lamp? Does he have to be shooting a gun? Not like we still don't have too much of that around here.

bowboy, But it's a a Red Ryder Carbine Action 200-shot Range Model air rifle with a compass in the stock and "this thing which tells time"! Don't be such a whiner.

What could be more in the spirit of Christmas than a kid with an air rifle?

Mikey's is the BEST. The people there are so nice to everyone, even when you're just walking by, they're all cute as hell and those changing murals are the bomb.

LOL @ the scene where Darren McGavin is reading his newspaper (Cleveland Plain Dealer I'm sure) and he sees one Bumpus Hound after another make a beeline for the turkey in the kitchen.

Also FUUUUUUUDGE! (FUUUUUUUCK!)

And of course "Whatsamatta? Gunny cruh-yyy!" and the subsequent beatdown laid on Scott Fargas by Ralphie. I love how Ralphie was in mash his face mode.
