This sleek and sexy 2325sf penthouse duplex is arguably the most dramatic and glamorous property the East Village has ever seen. Its one-of-a-kind layout features soaring 18 foot ceilings, private keyed elevator access, three separate terraces as well as two juliette balconies, with the outdoor space alone totalling 550sf.
There are even an additional 450 square feet of FAR should one choose to add a third tier to the privately owned roof and create a triplex. Quite simply, this stunning, jawdropping showpad needs to be seen to be believed.
The Alamo sculpture, the “Cube”, turns 50 this year and to celebrate, you can dance the night away at Astor Blaster, the first ever FREE silent disco at Astor Place.
Three live DJ’s will spin their decks with tunes featuring the very best beats of today, with a nod to the musical heritage of the neighborhood. Wearing FREE wireless headsets, guests will dance their way through the sunset and into the night around the iconic Astor Place “Cube” which will be the focal point of a dazzling light show.
Admission to Astor Blaster is FREE and wireless headsets will be available on a first come, first served basis. Guests will also have the option of simply dancing to their own music, or Astor Blaster playlists via Spotify, while enjoying the unique opportunity to revel in the middle of Astor Place.
The Astor Blaster turntables start spinning at 6:30 pm, continuing until 10:30 pm. For revelers wanting to continue their evening in the neighborhood there will be exclusive Astor Blaster offers available in local venues and bars.
There are somewhere around 25 seats, including three stools by the front window overlooking the bustle of St. Marks Place. The music is nondescript Italian classics, the staff friendly and professional, the pace unhurried. Located by Tompkins Square Park, Tramonti is a welcome, decidedly un-sceney respite from the often-frantic restaurants in this part of the East Village.
In the pizza section there are seven so-called "untouchables," classic combinations that honor the old Tramonti pizza-making traditions, but all of the pies here are made with San Marzano tomatoes and Fior de Latte cheese imported from the Amalfi coast. The one untouchable I ate was called the Verace, and it was delicious, a simple pie of robust tomato sauce and large patches of mozzarella di bufala on a chewy, blistered crust.
HEY, YOU BIKE-STEALING PIECE OF STINKING CRAP!!!
If you stole my bike, and my child's bike, to ride them, I hope you crash into a brick wall and have chronic pain to go with your festering insides.
If you stole our bikes to sell, I hope you develop scabby painful bits all over your body and never get a moment of rest, ever. I HOPE SOMEONE YOU LOVE CRIES EVERY DAY.
Those were OUR bikes, not yours, they were our primary transport and I bought them with money I earned. Get a job, you thieving sack of shit.
As I walked past at about 8:10 am, this naked man was standing at the west divider of Houston and Avenue A/Essex, basically just loitering, standing around but always facing toward Red Square. It may have been a type of protest but it was definitely a spectacle. I watched an NYPD interceptor get stopped at the intersection, definitely had time to see what was going on, but kept driving!
"Everyone should be naked," Ogarrio, who was wearing a crucifix around his neck and glitter on his face, told police.
"Maybe you should start a movement," one responding officer said. "I agree with you, but society doesn't allow it."
He was eventually taken away by the EMTs, but not arrested, police said.
"This Office is committed to securing the strongest possible sentences for those who engage in gun violence,” said District Attorney Vance. “As this appropriately lengthy sentence illustrates, we will seek maximum penalties for those responsible for violent crime in order to keep our communities safe."
