With a rubble yell: Here's 51 Astor Place these days
Just a quick post to document what's left of 51 Astor Place... the former Cooper Union engineering building...

East Village signs of the times: Bye Polonia, Joe's Bar and Octavia's Porch
Someone removed part of the now-closed Polonia sign on First Avenue...
...where right next door the sign is working at the new Subway...
...on East Sixth Street, someone took down the remaining letters for Joe's Bar...
...and on St. Mark's Place, the sign is up for the incoming panuozzo place...
Finally, on Avenue B near East Third Street, the Octavia's Porch sign is gone... presumably on its way to the Bad Restaurant Name Hall of Fame.
This will be the second location of the Park Slope-based Mexican eatery Fonda.

Noted
Per @hattmayes — "in front of the NYU dorm. People flooded the street and some guys in speedos jumped on a cab."
Suddenly, everyone is a New York Giants fan!
As you may have heard, the New York Giants are playing the New England Patriots tonight at 6:30. The winner will be crowned this year's Wimbledon champion.
And as you might expect, there are plenty of bandwagon jumpers... Like, do you recall seeing signs that this Duane Reade on 14th Street near First Avenue was the official pharmacy of the Giants during the regular season?
And where were these savings at Trader Joe's earlier?
Anyway, we looked around at various specials for tonight... didn't find anything that stupid. Did you?

Last day for East Village Farms
Today is the last day for East Village Farms on Avenue A. A lot of things are on sale. (But not everything — saw some annoyed people who thought their items would be half off.) All the beer is 30 percent off, and they have a pretty good selection. (At 30 percent off, it's now about the same price as Key!)
Anyway, took a few shots of the store's well-worn exterior before it's wiped away...
Employees here have said the landlord plans to tear down the building. But we've never heard this officially from the landlord. And there still aren't any permits of any kind on file with the DOB. So expect the space to sit empty for some time.

Tacos Morelos is back on Avenue A and Second Street
Oops. Meant to note this earlier. Did anyone see them Friday or Saturday? The cart was out of commission last week while the Taco Morelos folks waited for a new permit or something.
