Meanwhile, here's a clip from August 1993 with much lower production values... but interesting nonetheless ... the old flea market on Avenue C at Eighth Street...

Also today during the HallowNor'easter
Bobby Williams braved the elements... meanwhile, we were too busy finishing the bath water left in the tub from #Irene.

Today's sign of the apocalypse: 'Sex and the City' slots
After a few hundred years of false starts, the Resorts World New York casino is now open at EV Grieve favorite Aqueduct Racetrack... and, as you may have heard, among the more than 2,000 slot machines...

AHHHHHHHHHHH.
According to the Post:
Players hit a button that spins traditional slot-machine reels adorned with images of Carrie, Samantha, Charlotte and Miranda, along with a limousine icon, the “Sex and the City” logo, and other items from the show.
Hitting a row of bonus logos spins a separate electronic wheel, which features symbols for each of the show’s stars.
Players can win the top award if the wheel lands on a suitcase — the symbol for Carrie’s boyfriend, Mr. Big — and they pick correctly from one of three suitcases displayed on screen.

Today in gambling action in Tompkins Square Park
Bingo! No, wait — blackjack! Uh...
By Bobby Williams.
Sunday: Free Halloween concert in Tompkins Square Park
From the EV Grieve inbox...
Join us for yet another Halloween time party in Tompkins Square Park! Watch as the sun sets on another season of DIY punk shows in Tompkins Square Park and ring in the Mischief Night together! Get away from all the commercialization of Halloween going on out there and enjoy a totally free event in the park.
Featuring:
Reverend Billy + His Earthalujah Choir (4 pm-5 pm)
Morgan O'Kane
John Dolan, Popeye & the C-Skwat Happy Hour
In addition to the performances, the organizers are going to have a table set up with a memorial for Bob Arihood. The organizers are looking for photos to mount on a huge poster board that they'll have at a special table for Bob. These can be shots of Bob and/or photos that Bob has taken over the years.
Wow. Tough call. I couldn't narrow it down to one from the five-plus years of Neither More Nor Less. However, I keep coming back to this one from June of Jewels and Tim.
I may pick some other favorites before the show... anyway, you can print them out from Neither More Nor Less or Nadie Se Conoce and bring them along...
Mass tomorrow for Bob Arihood
The mass is at 5:30 p.m. at the Church of the Most Holy Redeemer on East Third Street between Avenue A and Avenue B.

Cleaning out the Grieve menu drawer
There is a drawer in our apartment full of menus. Hundreds. It's absurd, because we always end up ordering from Odessa.
So I cleaned out the drawer because: a) it wouldn't close and b) we're going to rent it out. The space will fit a small futon and maybe something else pliable from IKEA. No Pets. No brokers please. $1,350 a month. Perfect for students on a budget, models from Europe and people who like sleeping in drawers. Must like menus.
As for the menus... nothing too old... but it is a snapshot of how quickly some places come and go...

An appreciation: Breakfast at Stage
For no particular reason... too often we mourn instead of appreciate around here at EVG...
Second Avenue between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place.
Outside the historic St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery
Welcome to St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery, the oldest site of continuous worship in New York City and the second oldest church in Manhattan. Not only is the St. Mark’s campus a beautiful collection of buildings and burial grounds, its unique and interesting history is quintessential New York. The site is officially listed on the National Register of Historic Places and was designated a New York City Landmark in 1966.
The St. Mark’s Church and its yards are just a few reminders of the once vast “bouwerie,” or Dutch plantation, which Peter Stuyvesant, governor of New Amsterdam purchased in 1651 from the Dutch West India Company. When Stuyvesant died in 1672, his body was interred in a vault under the family chapel he’d had built in 1660. In 1793, Stuyvesant’s great-grandson, Petrus Stuyvesant, donated the chapel property to the Episcopal Church with the stipulation that a new chapel be erected and on April 25, 1795, the cornerstone of St. Mark’s Church in-the-Bowery was laid.
