Today (right now!) the New York Marble Cemetery — the oldest public non-sectarian cemetery in New York City — is open to the public at 41 1/2 Second Ave. between East Second Street and East Third Street…
Meanwhile! Around the corner on East Second Street between Second Avenue and First Avenue… it's Day 2 of the Fall Open Weekend at the New York City Marble Cemetery… you have until 5 p.m. (to visit) …
… and here's a scene from there yesterday via Derek Berg …
Work wrapped up last week on cycle 18 of the Centre-fuge Public Art Project … the rotating outdoor gallery/construction trailer here along East First Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue …
As BoweryBoogie pointed out, the artists this time are Jet, Andy Golub, Below Key, Zero Productivity, Leon Rainbow, Rez Shoalin and a collaboration between Key Detail & Yu-Baba.

Tickets went on sale today to see METZ at the Bowery Ballroom this coming January. Until then, here's "Wasted" from the Canadian trio's self-titled debut from 2013.
Starting today, Feltman’s of Coney Island owner and Brooklyn native Michael Quinn will be selling hot dogs at Augers Well, the bar at 115 St. Mark's Place between Avenue A and First Avenue.
Instead of serving $2 hot dogs as they did all summer Feltman’s will be serving up enormous franks for $5 each, along with their very popular homemade apple cider vinegar mustard, which will be whipped up daily in the Augurs Well kitchen.
Feltman's is named after Charles Feltman, purportedly the inventor of the hot dog as well as the restaurant that was located in Coney Island from 1870-1954. (Read more about Feltman at the Coney Island History Project here.)
Quinn reportedly still plans to reopen a restaurant in Coney Island... but, as the Coney Island Blog notes, "right now he’s having fun telling the Feltman’s story and creating brand recognition." And he will be doing so right next door to Crif Dogs. Of course Feltman's and Nathan's co-exited for more than 40 years in Coney Island...
Thanks to EVG regular jdx for this recent shot of the city, with Tompkins Square Park about right in the middle of the photo (didn't want to muck it up with the work of EV Arrow here) ... check out jdx's website here for more photos...
