Window shopping for the next holiday!

Looking at Ricky's on Third Avenue near East 14th Street.

This looks like a promising item to help class up the day!

Waiting for the woo

Avenue B and East Fourth Street this morning…

Noted

EVG reader MA spotted this Urban Etiquette Sign in the Ageloff Towers lobby... apparently some "subleasers" are displaying their "primative [sic] behavior" on the roof deck here on Avenue A between East Third Street and East Fourth Street.

Celebrating lent is getting out of hand

Outside St. Brigid-St. Emeric on Avenue B last night. Not sure where the stretch limo's occupants were.

12 second of East Village Wooooooooooooo!

Thank you to Gothamist for pointing out the existence of this video. Uploaded yesterday and titled "Guys on top of a bus (roof) as it is driving in New York City (Manhattan - East Vilage)"

First Avenue and East Ninth Street to be exact.

Party bus!

Another Saturday night, another stretch limo idling in the bus lane

Last night, Dave on 7th noted that car that was pulled over on Avenue A, causing the M15 driver to honk his horn for 10 minutes before finally just going around the vehicle...

Another reader shared this scene from Second Avenue at East Sixth Street... where a stretch limo was parked in the bus lane...

Only to be replaced by a stretch Hummer several hours later...

Per the reader: "Kudos to NYPD Traffic Enforcement for their business-friendly attitude."

Woo, Beer Marathon

Too early for the woo

Not even Friday night ... or even Thursday... Avenue A at East Second Street....

And how was your Monday night?

... a few observations via Twitter...

What's with all the drunkards in the hood? It's only Monday, people. You're not supposed to flood the streets til Thursday. #eastvillage

Third Avenue and 12th Street...

Your 'Lower Manhattan Theme Song 2011' (Woo Hoo!)

Chuckle Cakes NYC shared this video with us. Per the YouTube description:

This is a song that attempts to capture the current zeitgeist of the areas below 34th street in Manhattan (as well as certain areas in West Brooklyn and Manhattan above 96th street.) Anyone who has been here in the last few years will recognize the eclectic mix of people who draw their inspiration from an overlapping medley of 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s fashion, movies and music. These areas now see a a mix of clean-cut street looking kids of West Side Story and Buddy Holly-lookalikes; 90s/oughts Indie rockers; 70s handlebar-mustachioed porn-star types; Woodstock worshiping quasi-hippies and "folksters", endless variants of 80s "Wall Street" style people; rehashed grunge types; a plethora parade of would-be Lady Gagas; a voluminous number of "Gossip Girl" dreamers; "Jersey Shore" clones; curious tourists; and a smattering of everything else you care to name. One common thread, however, is their penchant for hard partying, and screaming "woohoo!" and "woo!" at all hours while stumbling around drunkenly.

It's a microcosm of the urban and suburban American culture of the naughts and oughts.

Manhattan, this is for you.
