Fire scare on St. Mark's Place at iconic Physical Graffiti building

A reader notes a fire scare this evening on St. Mark's Place at 96-98 St. Mark's Place — (the Physical Graffiti buildings) ... Per the reader on the extent of the damage: "Not sure — [firefighters] ran two hoses up, had two truck ladders up to the roof and a few guys climbed up the fire escape to break windows and climb in. We smelled smoke but didn't see any flames. The building was totally soaked — water running down the staircase/hallway."

And a few photos (a few more are here):

Bus stop

Yesterday morning on Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.... another one of those Americana moments that gives the neighborhood a small-town vibe...

That was fast: Cafe Hanover on the market after five months in business

Back in the heady days of June, Cafe Hanover owners celebrated their grand opening on St. Mark's Place in the former Mondo Kim's space.



In a ceremony worthy of a funeral...



A few seizures here and there... and today, the space is now for rent...

Opportunity bites

A reader notes that this flyer has been on his building's front door all week ... and they do seem to be everywhere. The ads. And probably the bedbugs.
