[Updated] City is removing abandoned curbside dining structure on Avenue A and 6th Street
Eileen Fisher makes 9th Street closure official
The note reads in part:
After much thought, we have decided to close our 9th Street Eileen Fisher store.We thank you for being part of this special community and will miss you.
The outpost had been closed since late August for "building maintenance." There were rumors the shop had closed in early February, though there wasn't anything official about it made public.
This was Fisher's first location, opening in 1987. Her brand grew to 50-plus shops around the country and sales in various department stores.
[Updated] Verameat closes on Feb. 22

Some happy campers on 10th Street now as NYPD relocates RV
As noted here, some unhappy residents who lived nearby painted messages outside (and on) the camper late last week with directives such as "move" ... "leave" ... and "Camper time to go."RV illegally parked = tracking down the owner, explaining the violation, & having him relocate the RV to private property. Your Transportation Safety Officer is always out, making sure the East Village Streets are safe. @NYPDPBMS pic.twitter.com/vuO9N2dcTu

Proud to show love today with friends and neighbors, and look forward to working with @NYCMayor to return this cherished space to the community, its rightful owner. pic.twitter.com/V2FrDePaPh
Looking forward to working with @NYCMayor to preserve our beloved CHARAS / El Bohio Community Center. There is no reason why a precious building should sit vacant for decades while the need to connect families to services and resources is high. pic.twitter.com/0b9nVdidiR

(This is the fourth item on the agenda.)On this Valentine’s Day Eve we aren’t asking for flowers, or chocolate or even a spa day, we’re asking for the return of the CHARAS/El Bohio Community Center!
