You may have seen these flyers around the neighborhood the past day or two... @bacondevil spotted this one on Second Avenue at East Fifth Street...
There was also one spotted on East 14th Street at Second Avenue... Per the flyer, someone is accusing Community Board 3 District Manager Susan Stetzer as being an "assassin of New York's creativity" who is "wanted for assault on our civil liberties."
The Lo-Down, who first reported on the flyers yesterday, spoke with Stetzer. She said that she doesn't know why anyone why would have done this ... "but she believes they could be related to liquor license applications."
Speaking as a resident during a CB3/SLA meeting last summer, Stetzer did publicly oppose the restaurant-bar-music venue project in the works for 34 Avenue A. CB3 ultimately rejected all the proposals for the former Aces & Eights space, and it will soon be home to Ruff Club, "a social club for dogs."
Last December, Stetzer was one of the many city officials tweaked in the annual holiday invite from activist Allen Roskoff. According to Scoopy's Notebook, Stetzer was depicted "as a sexy pole dancer because ... she's a foe of bars and clubs."
(Some residents also criticized Stetzer in the fall of 2010 for her role to possibly limit the number of concerts in Tompkins Square Park. You can read that background here.)
As far as these types of flyers go, this one seems rather mild by comparison. Back in the spring, a few flyers appeared around the neighborhood about developer Ben Shaoul. As reported by The New York Times in July, they read, in part: "I pledge to rape the East Village of every last vestige of creativity," and concluded: "You gotta problem wit dat?"

[Updated] Perhaps the greatest missing bike flyer ever
[Click to enlarge image]
East 10th Street and Third Avenue last night via the Bagel Guy.
Per the sign, possibly a fake but still entertaining — "no reward."
Updated:
Ah, so the sign is old... but apparently people are still putting them up... perhaps to help sell these T-shirts. Per the comments, the flyer is the work of David Shrigley.

"I don't even want this bike back. I just made these flyers to tell you that I hate you, bike thief. I hope you ride my bike without a helmet and get hit by a monster truck. I hope my bike takes you straight to Hell."

2 reasons to try Hot Kitchen, probably
Dave on 7th passes along this sign that he spotted on Seventh Street and Second Avenue... We're unsure if this is supposed to be for or against Hot Kitchen, the Sichuan restaurant that opened last September on Second Avenue near Sixth Street.
In the end, we think this is supposed to be for the place, because their chef doesn't cook and smoke at the same time... and the delivery people don't nibble on your food...
Regardless, Hot Kitchen is a good spot that we like ... and they also like it at New York magazine and the Voice... the NYC Food Guy ...

East Village signs of the times: Bye Polonia, Joe's Bar and Octavia's Porch
Someone removed part of the now-closed Polonia sign on First Avenue...
...where right next door the sign is working at the new Subway...
...on East Sixth Street, someone took down the remaining letters for Joe's Bar...
...and on St. Mark's Place, the sign is up for the incoming panuozzo place...
Finally, on Avenue B near East Third Street, the Octavia's Porch sign is gone... presumably on its way to the Bad Restaurant Name Hall of Fame.
This will be the second location of the Park Slope-based Mexican eatery Fonda.

In other East Village signage news...
Signs have recently appeared on First Avenue between Sixth Street and Seventh Street at the incoming L’asso EV ...
From the people behind Mott Street pizzeria L’asso.
And on Avenue C at Ninth Street, the sign is up for The Wayland, the bar taking over the Banjo Jim's space....

Why you shouldn't be outraged at Kelly Donahue for refusing to give up her seat
EV Grieve reader Creature spotted this flyer on Avenue B at Fifth Street... then another one a few blocks away...
As you might expect, the sign is a fake... it's part of an ad campaign for a book out next month titled "I Hate You, Kelly Donahue."

Our new favorite curb your dog sign
13th Street between Avenue A and Avenue B...
Also noteworthy on 10th Street between First Avenue and Avenue A... Not very creative, but ruthlessly blunt...
