No sign of life at Bon Vivant
Still no activity at Bon Vivant, the Greek diner on Broadway near 12th Street. The diner, owned several decades by a Greek family, remained shuttered over the weekend... no sign, no explanation... and no answer on their phone...

A bad sign at Bon Vivant
Shade for 325 Bowery
Just noting the progress here on the Taavo Somer/William Tigertt diner on the Bowery and Second Street... now with awnings... And I'm not sure about the exact shade of this color here -- vanilla?

Bus and bike lane hijinks from the weekend
On First Avenue and Second Avenue...
The obstacles just seem that more apparent with the presence of signs, of course...

Ditto for Pinisi bakery, which opened here on First Avenue near Second Street in May 2009....

Man actually not shot in Tompkins Square Park
From today's NYPD Daily Blotter in the Post:
And this may explain why detectives were in Tompkins Square Park last Sunday morning...
A bonehead who accidentally shot himself on the Lower East Side was busted after he claimed to have been shot in Tompkins Square Park, authorities said.
Fernando Torres, 62, shot himself in the hand and thigh in his apartment last Sunday at 5 a.m., sources said.
A neighbor told police he saw Torres shove a revolver into a bag along with bloody clothing, which the bumbling triggerman tossed into a garbage bin, cops said.
Torres then walked into Bellevue Hospital and claimed he'd been shot in the park, cops said.

Mattress factory
Seems to be a more active move in/move out end-of-month/beginning-of-month period than usual... seems as if more people are moving out than moving in... While walking around yesterday and today, I counted 17 abandoned mattresses... I started taking pictures of them... but you get the idea...
And none of them were marked "bedbugs."
