By now, you may be getting the idea that EV Grieve likes Art Around the Park

Photos from this morning....











Meanwhile, I'll just be sitting here...

Also...

I always like the 3D art....





Which reminds me:

Via Eater:

The Special: DBGB just launched a large format pig meal. It's $450 for up to eight guests and includes all you can drink craft ales, a whole Pennsylvania Green Village Farms applewood smoked and roasted pig stuffed with sausage and served family style with swiss chard, Gruyere, corn on the cob, potato gratin, and red and white sauerkraut. Baked Alaska for dessert.
When: They just need 72 hours notice; 212-933-5300.

The Mary Help of Christians Church Flea Market returns next week

This morning, police told the usual crew of sidewalk sellers on Avenue A at 11th Street to move out...




One of the men told me the police said that they needed permits to sell their junk. The man didn't seem to mind because he'd be back next week "inside."

That's right... the Mary Help of Christians Church Flea Market returns for good next Saturday....



...and, please note... you'll have to sell your drugs and porn elsewhere...

14th Street, 9:01 a.m., Sept. 12

About those wrapped packages in Tompkins Square Park

In case you are wondering what those carefully arranged wrapped packages (not the people) are in the middle of Tompkins Square Park...
