Monday's parting shot

Thanks to EVG reader Dan Nallen for sharing this photo from Ninth Street at Second Avenue ...

Sunday morning (today!)

Been awhile since I may have been the only person in Tompkins Square Park. The dog run was empty (at least when I walked through at 8:30 or so...) I did eventually see a Parks employee emerge from the office (he was singing, it was kind of nice) ...

Perhaps the windchill has something to do with the lack of Parkgoers...



Also, there is one hearty Greenmarket vendor setting up (the bread guy/person) along Avenue A...



Updated noon

Several more vendors have arrived, including the folks from Stannard Farm Vegetables...

It was so steamy out this morning

EVG reader Brett W. shared this photo looking east toward the Con Ed plant earlier this morning, about 8 degrees ago...

In case you were planning on seeing either of these two movies at the Loews Village 7 on Third Avenue at 11th Street... bring a blanket or a flask or something...

Cooper Square Hotel ready for chilly reception

Winterizing at the Coop.

Meanwhile, as Jeremiah reported on Friday, there's rumor that the SoHo Grand Hotel team has bought the troubled Cooper Square Hotel.

It was a balmy 44 last evening

...when we spotted two intrepid diners eating outside at Yuca Bar, Seventh Street and Avenue A...the diner with her back to the camera was wearing a hooded parka thingee.

Exclusive: It's really fucking cold out
