The 47 E. 3rd St. protest in video

Here are some short clips from the protest at 47 E. 3rd St. tonight. I was there for the first leg of the protest tour. (UPDATED: Jeremiah and Bob Arihood have in-depth coverage of the evening.)

Here are a few photos from the protest at 47 E. 3rd St. tonight. I was there for the first leg of the protest tour. It was fairly calm and orderly. The protestors were fenced in by the police, roughly a building and a half away from No. 47. (By the way, the police could not have been nicer. At least while I was there.) UPDATED: Jeremiah and Bob Arihood have in-depth coverage of the evening.

The thrill of victory, the agony of the tour bus

At Wall Street and Water Street.

As long as one doesn't read, "Go see the Sex and the City movie"

BoingBoing has a post on this vending machine on Avenue A (at Fifth Street) that sells ideas on things to do.

Hi. I'm writing this post as I wait in line to buy the new iPhone...
KIDDING. Jeez.

Anyway, from a piece on "iPhoria" in the Post today:

Real-estate broker Micky Pekija Is offering a free iPhone to anyone who rents the four-bedroom Columbus Circle apartment he has listed for $5,990 per month.

"They like that I am giving something back in return," Pekija said. "It may only cost a few hundred dollars, but it is a very cool gadget that people get very excited about."

Welcome to the Lower East Side! (Sponsored in part by Ikea)

So I heard something about Ikea opening in Red Hook recently or something...Anyway, I managed not to pay any attention to the thousands of Ikea ads I saw around town this summer. Until yesterday, when I spotted this at the gateway to the LES...


And this? This ad was at Fulton and Water. So, if I'm getting this, I fork over $2,000 to a Scandanavian-based home products retailer so I no longer have to support local restaurants? And why limit it to Chinese food? I usually get Odessa delivered.

People are discussing that Sex and the City sequel we all dreaded but figured was likely

Bad news to report, as Gawker puts it:

Sex And The City Sequel Threatened

Meanwhile, somewhere in the East Village, Jeremiah's head explodes...

[With apologies to the fine folks of The Golden Girls.]

A little reminder of Fulton Street's past

[Oops! Sorry...this has already been noted elsewhere.]

Bob Arihood has the lowdown on the evening here.

Meanwhile, in fairness. Some equal time:

East Village home of the week

The real-estate section in the Post today includes this Seventh Street fixer-upper in its "houses of the week" section:


Some details!
Bedrooms: 3 Bathrooms: 2 Square feet: 1,450 Maintenance: $730 -- This penthouse co-op in a prewar townhouse really is an oasis, inside and out. Set on a tree-lined stretch of East Seventh Street, the "architect-designed" full-floor duplex features a cozy living room with a wood-burning fireplace. There are built-in speakers and stereo wiring, a washer/dryer, plus two "spectacular" terraces that total 900 square feet. Bonus: The upper terrace has a reflecting pool and fountains.

Oh, and the price? It's yours for...
$1.995 million.

PS
Dumb question. But. What in the world does anyone need a reflective pool on the "upper terrace" for...?
