The fruit vendor returns to Astor Place
We may have temporarily lost the cube (Alamo) on Astor Place, but we have gained a fruit vendor.

A 2-day cold-weather break for the 1st Avenue fruit vendor
Photo by Steven
In case you were going by First Avenue and Sixth Street today or tomorrow for some fruit and vegetables... the vendor is taking a break with the cold temps.
The vendor just returned last Monday after a late-winter hiatus.

The fruit vendor is BACK on 1st Avenue and 6th Street
From the tipline... after a weeks-long, late-winter hiatus, the fruit vendor is back on the SE corner First Avenue and Sixth Street. A reader saw the cart return last night.
H/T Steph and Isa!

The taco cart is BACK on 2nd Street and Avenue A
After missing in action for about six weeks, the taco cart is back on Avenue A and Second Street.
OK, it's actually a different cart with a new name — Tacos Mary now (Tacos Cholula before).
However, an EVG reader who shared the photo here from Tuesday night says the workers are the same. Apparently, this operation is related to the Tacos Mary out in Queens.
Also! A reliable source tells us that the fruit vendor will be back soon on Sixth Street and First Avenue. Also, MIA these past few weeks.

Missing in the East Village: the fruit vendor on 1st Avenue; the taco cart on 2nd Street
Reader queries have arrived this week... asking about some now-missing regulars around the neighborhood.
For starters, the fruit vendor has not been at his usual post on the SE corner of First Avenue and Sixth Street for several days. (Top photo.)
The vendor had been toughing it out during the winter months, but now everything is gone. (H/T Goggla!)
There was some speculation — over the clickety-clack of typewriters in the EVG newsroom — that perhaps the Citi Bike docking station prompted the departure and, perhaps, relocation. While the dock isn't new, its arrival meant the vendor needed to find parking elsewhere for his van with supplies to keep the stand stocked with fruit and vegetables.
Meanwhile, on the NW corner of Second Street at Avenue A...
... the whereabouts of the Tacos Cholula cart is unknown. One grieving regular puts the absence now at a few weeks. We have our best people looking into this.

Rather random Avenue A fruit stand randomly gone
The fruit stand that arrived in mid-April on Avenue A near Sixth Street has apparently packed up and left.
They seemed to operate on an honor system, leaving the stand wrapped in a blue tarp and unattended overnight.
Any comments about their produce?

The 1st Avenue fruit vendor returns
[Photo by Goggla this morning]
After a nearly three-month absence, the fruit-vegetable vendors returned to First Avenue and Sixth Street outside Village View. (H/T Janet and @ehschubegan!) Today marks their first day back in business ... since leaving on March 19 as the COVID-19 crisis took hold and pedestrian traffic dwindled.

The 1st Avenue fruit cart has departed
The fruit-vegetable vendors here on First Avenue and Sixth Street outside Village View packed up and left last night. (H/T Janet!)
Noticed yesterday afternoon that they had an ample supply of produce. Were people just not buying any?

When is the fruit vendor on 1st Avenue and 6th Street closing down for the winter?
By this time of year, the fruit-vegetable vendors here on First Avenue and Sixth Street outside Village View usually pack it up for the season... with a spring-time return.
However, as the photo above via Riley McCormick from last night shows, the vendors are still on the scene ... and will be here through the winter. Riley double-confirmed the news with the sellers last evening. So there's a good daily produce option here to ease the winter doldrums...

They've been away since Oct. 31.
Thanks to EVG reader Riley McCormick for the photos yesterday!

1st Avenue fruit vendors pack up for the season
[EVG file photo]
Last night was the last call this season for the fruit-vegetable vendors here on First Avenue and Sixth Street outside Village View ... EVG reader Rainer Turim shared these photos from last night (there was word of a small going-away party) ...
The vendors returned for the season here back in April...

Fruit vendor returns to 1st Avenue and 6th Street

And a reader-submitted photo from this morning...
