Signs from an old chair: Remembering East Village standby Angelica Kitchen on 12th Street

From last night on 12th Street just east of Second Avenue... a discarded chair with a note: 

An original chair from 

Angelica Kitchen

An East Village Icon 1976-2017

(Sacrilege to see Five Guys opening on this street)

You can read more about Angelica Kitchen, 300 E. 12th St., here. 

Thank you to @ajathas for the photos!

Thursday's parting shot

Photo by Steven 

Multiple readers have mentioned this barricaded chair on the NE corner of Fifth Street and Second Avenue... we are on it. #FreeTheChair

Grab a chair: 'Free + clean' and for the taking on 2nd Avenue

As seen late this afternoon on the west side of Second Avenue near Sixth Street ... photos by Steven...

If this chair could talk

As seen discarded today on Avenue B between 12th Street and 13th Street...

"I found this chair at Tompkins Square Park NYC May 2021." 

Thanks to Vinny & O for the pics...

Noted

Morning view from Third Avenue and 10th Street... someone said the chair was waiting for a Lyft...

World's greatest chair discarded

Tragically spotted on the sidewalk on 12th Street between Avenue A and First Avenue late today ... and in the rain...



Thanks to Christine Champagne for the photos!

Please do not sit on this thing that looks exactly like a chair

Spotted outside East Village Postal today on First Avenue between Ninth Street and 10th Street ... a new place to rest for a moment?



... or ...



... a writing easel getting some air. (Complete with a warning not to sit!)

Thanks to Steven for the photos!

Someone has renounced the throne on 3rd Street

EVG regular Salim shared this photo from Third Street between Avenue A and Avenue B... the sign on the discarded chair reads: "Treat yourself like the royalty you are with this FREE throne."

Cool, free chair without bugs of the day

Spotted earlier this evening on Ninth Street between Avenue A and First Avenue... as the sign says, "Cool free chair! Clean — no bugs"...

Free chair of the day

EVG contributor Derek Berg spotted this on East Fifth Street between Second Avenue and the Bowery this evening… strangely enough, we were just listing to No Bugs Just Broken's first record earlier today …

While you're waiting for the light to change...

East 12th Street and Avenue A this morning via M on Avenue B.

Maybe the wind blew it up there?

Beware of the collapsing chair gag today

Be safe -- and smart -- this April 1.
