Still life, with carbs

Pace yourself

Halloween is still about two weeks away.

Unless there is another explanation for this on Avenue A.

Noted

Long story, but earlier today, we jokingly told EVG regular Pinhead via Twitter that we were going as a cupcake for Halloween.



Haha, blah blah.

The response.

@evgrieve Uh, cupcakes are little 2005, don't you think. I prefer my costumes to be a bit more topical. pic.twitter.com/TblptltpOC

Outside the McDonald's on Third Avenue at St. Mark's Place this afternoon. Eat a Big Mac. Do some planks.

Today in 'Pardon our Appearance' signs

Outside the Standard East Village on Cooper Square ... "Pardon our appearance improvements underway" at the fire hydrant someone is painting...

Today in tasteful video postings

We do not know much, if anything, about this video ... other than that someone filmed it on East 14th Street at Second Avenue fairly recently (given that it only has 16 pageviews at the time we posted it) ... and the man in the video is wearing a diaper.

Thanks, maybe, to the EVG reader who forwarded us the link.

Abandoned slice of stuffed pizza doesn't seem to mind being abandoned

Meant to post these photos earlier… they are from last night on Avenue B near East 11th Street. We do not know what happened here… but based on the pizza's goofy grin in the top photo, all seems to be well (all things considered)…

Anyway, not nearly as sad as abandoned stuffed teddy bears…

9 months later, Avenue B's Subway finally replaces sad 'Lone Ranger' contest poster in front window

Nearly nine months after its theatrical release, the Subway on Avenue B near East 14th Street finally decided to remove the cardboard cutout of the critically reviled box-office bomb "Lone Ranger" from the front window… So your chances of winning great prizes are now over!

Per a release about the contest:

Throughout June and July, fans can look for codes on specially marked Lone Ranger 30 oz. cups and avocado sandwich wrap stickers. The codes access free plays on the new "Partner Up And Win" interactive game on www.subway.com, offering fans the chance to win cash, rides, adventures and more. Customers can also receive playing codes through SUBWAY® social media channels, and by tweeting a photo with Johnny Depp and Armie Hammer standees found in SUBWAY® locations across the U.S.

And now in the front window … an ad for Flatizza™ …

Who knew what and when? Psychic closed for remodeling on Avenue A

Yesterday afternoon, EVG reader Ruth noted that workers removed the awning from the psychic's storefront at 199 Avenue A near East 12th Street…



Likely a pretty pricy chunk of real estate for $5 tarot card readings… However! The psychics figured that people would question if this space would become home to another specialty food shop or something… so there is a sign… "Psychic is remodeling."

No way to treat a Lady (Gaga)

Avenue B and East 12th Street.

Kick is right… First Avenue at East 14th Street...

Your Thanksgiving — (not really) planned

As we exclusively reported, Thanksgiving is two weeks from today (and when did that happen?).

So to help make planning your day easier, we note the Thanksgiving Day "swirling hours" at PinkBerry on St. Mark's Place.

Local blogger probably looking forward to posting photos of snow flurries in the morning

Anyway, I'm already in line for supplies at Trader Joe's! Woot!

Today in photos of the FangVan on Fourth Avenue

Just a reminder that your rent is due soon! Spotted late this afternoon by EVG regular William Klayer...

The heartbreaking reality of Rite Aid's former Photo Department

The last vestige of the Photo Department. Replaced by a display of beer and toilet paper. Discarded on East Fifth Street. It just wants to process film. Dream over.

Why your Con Ed bill will be going up next month

That damn sinkhole on Avenue A near East Third Street claimed two more cones, who drowned. When will it end?

EV Grieve's last-minute holiday gift ideas

Spotted in the window at Brickman & Sons on First Avenue...

You know how it is sometimes. You're at the bar with your friends, and everyone seems to be talking at once! You need to cut through the clutter and make your point! Then look no further than the Mega-Sound Megaphone, which will slip easily into one of the three or four bags that you're carrying. It's also good for tracking down your friends who may have stranded you on a quiet side street at 3 a.m.

Perhaps you can think of other uses for it. Regardless, it's $9.99.
