Two hawks beat as one

From yesterday in Tompkins Square Park ... from Bobby Williams... A busy day...


...including a little cat and mouse with a squirrel...


Then. The arrival of another red-tail hawk. Squabbling ensued.

Is this the final Starbucks sign on First Avenue?


Marjorie Ingall sends along this photo from First Avenue and East Third Street ... She asks a fine question: Is this signage temporary or will Starbucks keep the stenciled look for that rebellious East Village feel?

[Updated] Coen Brothers back in action on East Ninth Street

Today in looking at David Schwimmer's in-progress mansion

The construction crew at David Schwimmer's new place at 331 E. Sixth St. is making a lot of progress, at least based on this aerial shot by EV Grieve reader weigone... this photo is from Wednesday...


...and from Feb. 1 ...


Some neighbors, who say they have put up with horrendous noise from the site in recent weeks, are curious about the box-like structure in the top photo — elevator shaft? Indoor BBQ pit? Vault? Panic room?

Boarding up 21 E. Second St.

A three-alarm fire involving 140 firefighters broke out late Tuesday night at 21 E. Second St., a six-floor apartment building between the Bowery and Second Avenue...


Yesterday, Bobby Williams notes that workers were on the scene to board up the windows. The Red Cross is currently offering temporary housing to the 30-plus residents who were displaced from the fire.
