Why the trees were cut down on Fifth Street next to the Cooper Square Hotel
To make room for the hotel's trash.

What's new around the Cooper Square Hotel: Sidewalk, lack of trees
The AlphaBet Cafe has reopened
As I metioned on April 6. At 14th Street and Avenue B. This addition brings the Avenue B empty storefront count down to 20.
More signs from the recession
Spotted on Avenue A and Third Street.
On the Bowery.
Second Avenue near Second Street.
Think everyone has seen this already, right? At Eighth Street and Sixth Avenue. Gray's Papaya.

The Bea Arthur tag
The "Bad Pussies" mural on the side of Mama's at Third Street and Avenue B (which "passes off a subtle message of yuppicide") has always fascinated me...
...and even more so now with the passing yesterday of NYC native Bea Arthur, who was 86.
...the Bea Arthur tag has been there for as long as I can remember... I just never knew why. I've seen the Bea Arthur tag a few other places around the neighborhood...just can't remember where at the moment.

You're so vain, you probably think this post is about you
From the Post today:
Going to college in New York City has never looked better. The city's 50 hottest college students -- vamping it up in steamy poses sure to distract even the most dedicated bookworm -- will soon appear on campus newsstands as a glossy magazine debuts May 4.
"We wanted to photograph interesting, hot people that make going to school in New York City so awesome," said Kane Sarhan, 22, a Pace University junior and publisher of the magazine, The College Gossip Chronicles, and its accompanying Website, thecgconline.com.
And the paper lets us meet a few of the 50:
Alex Casticas, 23
junior studying business administration at Fordham
Career Ambition: Working in biotechnology
Home: Switzerland
Sex Appeal: "My accent is what makes me stand out here," says Casticas, who admits he can play it up to seduce the ladies when he parties in SoHo or the Meatpacking District. He stays fit by doing martial arts, water-skiing and wakeboarding.
Ashton Fontana, 20 (pictured)
sophomore communications major at Fordham University
Home: Napa, California
Career Ambition: Fashion writer/magazine editor
Sex Appeal: "My Cali personality with my New York attitude. I know how to have a great time and look even greater doing it," says the beach beauty, who stays in shape by taking hip hop and lyrical dance classes.
