Workers ready for a Beyoncé break on Second Avenue

Dangerously in love?
Spotted on Avenue Ayyy
Oh, I'm really sorry about that headline. Truly. I've seen Fonzie stickers, but (heh) I don't recall seeing this variation. Perhaps you have? Avenue A and East 11th Street.
Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys died 1 year ago today
Adam Yauch, aka MCA of the Beastie Boys, died on May 4, 2012 after a battle with cancer. He was 47.
The above mural remains in his memory on East Seventh Street just west of First Avenue...
Today, in his honor, a free "MCA Day" takes place at Brooklyn's Littlefield performance and art space from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Meanwhile, yesterday, Adam Yauch Park was unveiled in Brooklyn. Gothamist has several videos from the day here.

Something fishy at the former CBGB Gallery on the Bowery
Someone asked what the deal was with that plywood at 313 Bowery... workers erected and painted it this past week... The recent home to the Morrison Hotel Gallery and the Steven Tyler pop-up shop Riff (and once, the CBGB Gallery) will become the first East Coast Patagonia Surf Store, as BoweryBoogie has previously reported.

'Happy hours' at the the B&H Dairy
EVG favorite B&H Dairy on Second Avenue is advertising "happy hours" ... where you can get 40 percent off that day's lunch special from 3:30-5:30 weekdays... and it's bound to be really good...

[Updated] Concern for the bending elm in Tompkins Square Park
You've seen the bending elm next to the The Hare Krishna Tree in the center of Tompkins Square Park... (such as in these photos from November via Bobby Williams) ...
Now, GammaBlog points out a potentially dangerous situation here.
[Via GammaBlog]
As you can see from the above photo, the cable attached to the tree appears to be fraying... GammaBlog also notes that TWO cable were attached to the bending elm for support... down to one, and if this cable would snap... Well. Let's get the Parks Department on this. GammaBlog has already called 311.

On second thought, GammaBlog thinks that the fraying appears to be the lashing around the cable and not the actual cable. Regardless, a return of the second cable would provide a little more piece of mind...

It takes an Army to empty a synagogue
Workers have been emptying the Congregation Mezritch Synagogue on East Sixth Street between First Avenue and Avenue A ahead of its conversion to condos...
And today, EVG reader Creature notes the truck on scene to help haul away what's left inside...
Any ideas where it might be going?
