The Dolar Shop bringing hot pot to 3rd Avenue and 11th Street
Closings: Brazen Fox, the Nugget Spot, Hu Kitchen, Mancora and Apna Masala
"It's with a heavy heart that we announce the permanent closure of our 14th Street location. For 7 years we called this home, making friends from all over the world that share the same love for NUGS. We're not throwing in the towel just yet, but in order for us to return in the future we have to take these necessary actions now. "

12th Street hosting a voter registration drive this weekend
The East 12th Street Block Association, in conjunction with the community gardens between Avenue A and Avenue B and the East Village Vintage Collective, is hosting a voter registration drive this weekend (Saturday and Sunday!) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There will be two locations for registrations on each side of the street (one is to be in front of the El Sol Brillante community garden).
Per the invite: "As this is such a crucial election, we must do all we can to ensure people are registered and VOTE."
The East Village Vintage Collective, pictured above, is at 545 E. 12th St. between A and B.
St. Brigid is now hosting a flea market on Saturdays
Founded in 1856, the Saint Brigid School was one of seven city Catholic schools marked for closure by the Archdiocese.
To date, the Archdiocese has not stated its plans for the space. Mary Help of Christians hosted a weekend flea market before the property was sold for what became Steiner East Village.

'Nonsense' you say!
Baby Kong arrives at the 6th Street and Avenue B Community Garden
Thanks to a Good Stuffed Animal Samaritan, there's now a Baby Kong in the Sixth Street and Avenue B Community Garden
Back in February we had the story about how Kong, the stuffed animal that longtime East Village resident Nefertiti Jones had as a child, ended up in the Community Garden. (Link to the story is below.)
Unfortunately, Kong went missing earlier this month. As Jones wrote in an Instagram post, "I am heartbroken my beloved Kong was stolen ... Kong who was loved by so many people and had become a permanent fixture on Avenue B was taken a few days ago. If you have seen him please bring him back."
Now though, someone placed a Baby Kong in the spot with a note...
The note reads in part: "I offer hope and health to all who care for me. Hopefully, mommy and daddy Kong come back to visit. If not, I am here to carry their legacy!"
