Free tomato seedlings on 7th and A
Someone carefully placed these seedlings out on Seventh Street and Avenue A at the entrance to Tompkins Square Park this morning.
The neatly written sign explains:
These seedlings were raised on a windowsill. Grown from seed (from a beefsteak tomato from Trader Joe's).
Planted on Feb. 20, so they should bear fruit in 4-6 weeks.
Plant them in a big pot (they'll get big!) (the paper pots will dissolve)
If you want to grow them outside, they'll need to be hardened off. (Google it. It's easy)
Thanks to the reader for this photo!

Another 'Star Spangled' cheer for health-care workers on 7th Street
Once again tonight, the #ClapBecauseWeCare cheer for health-care workers and first responders featured an electrified "Star Spangled Banner" here on Seventh Street between Avenue A and First Avenue.
And there were two special guests: two off-duty ER doctors from Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the Bronx who drove up via a police escort. (They had seen the previous night's video.)
Alice Owen and Randi Himelfarb shot these videos...

'We will not go quietly into the night!' A midnight fireworks display
An EVG reader shared the above video from last night.
A description from the reader: "Nearing midnight, an explosive celebration on April 3 in the East Village, looking Northwest-ish from First Avenue and Third Street."
There were apparently two rounds of rooftop fireworks — with one lasting nearly a minute. Several people were able to catch the second round...

Village Farm Grocery has closed for now on 2nd Avenue
The corner market on the northeast corner of Second Avenue and Ninth Street closed yesterday...
This after reducing hours in recent days. As EVG correspondent Steven noted, Village Farm Grocery remained open even after the blackout and Superstorm Sandy... and they are the latest neighborhood deli to close during the COVID-19 crisis.
Meanwhile, several blocks to the south on Second Avenue... East Village Farm and Grocery at Fourth Street is open — but only for deliveries... no customers permitted inside...

Your very own Oh Sees concert
In lieu of any live shows in the foreseeable future... here's a recently (March 21!) released video of Oh Sees rehearsing their new record (not sure which one, given that they release about eight LPs a year!).
Enjoy all 56 minutes. Depending where we are in the world, Oh Sees are currently scheduled to play Webster Hall in September.
