EVG Etc.: Mark Burger cow status; menu update at Ray's; free pizza on Broadway



Workers are breaking down the now-closed Mark Burger at 33 St. Mark's Place between Second Avenue and Third Avenue.

Management said that higher rents and a changing St. Mark's Place were behind the closure.

And the Mark Burger cow is going to a new home. Derek Berg spotted it on the moo-ve Sunday... apparently the owner's family will take in the cow (and have it restored by the original artist) ...



The cow was designed by Rumiko Tsuda as part of the CowParade New York in 2000. This work was titled "Diversity of People."

And over at Ray's Candy Store, 113 Avenue A, there's a new (plastic) dish on the menu...



Chicken wings, as EVG regular Peter Brownscombe passed along...

And at 740 Broadway near Astor Place, the Washington, D.C.-based &pizza opens today (Oct. 3) ... they're giving stuff away...

    So what happens when you get the tattoo and the place closes in 3 months? Do they give you the money to laser it off?
