S'MAC taking over for Veselka at the First Avenue/Houston kiosk

An outpost of macaroni-and-cheesers S'MAC is replacing Veselka in the First Avenue/Houston kiosk, Patrick Hedlund reports this morning at DNAinfo.

Veselka, which will vacate at the end of June, has manned this space the last five years. The city’s Parks Department put out a request for proposals in January for a new food vendor, Crain's reported.

Abandoned kitty on East 11th Street?


From a reader:

There's an absolutely amazing young cat hanging around on East 11th b/n B & C. He/She's way too friendly, well behaved, and clean to be a stray. He's either lost or abandoned. Seems like a young adolescent.

Anyone? Been spotted in the 600 block...

This week in discarded mattress epidemics in the East Village

If I took a photo of every discarded mattress that I spotted this past week, well, then I'd have a lot of photos of discarded mattresses to share...

Still, with these, you get the idea...








Dave on 7th sent these next three shots along... And Dave on 7th said, "never seen so many discarded mattresses as I have in the last week."

Seconded.




And I only spotted one mattress that had been wrapped in plastic per the City's wishes...this one of Avenue C at Second Street...

Inside the fire-damaged laundromat on Avenue B

On Tuesday night, a fire started inside the Laundry & Dry Cleaners at 44 Avenue B. Now residents want to know what what happened. Laundromat management believes some "oil-filled clothes" from a nearby restaurant were left behind in a dryer.. and were the cause of the blaze. Nothing conclusive, just a theory... Stacie Joy sends along some photos from the damaged laundromat...
