Monday's parting shot

Always seems that people only discard large stuffed bears on warm days. 

Thanks to the EVG reader for this photo on Third Street between Avenue A and Avenue B

The stately 122 E. 10th St. is for sale

The two-unit building at 122 E. 10th St. between Second Avenue and Third Avenue hit the market in recent days. 

Here's what you'll get ... via the listing: 

Rare opportunity to own a stunning, renovated and historically significant 2-unit building on the highly coveted Renwick Triangle. Located on a picturesque tree-lined block in the East Village, this 18' wide, six-story Anglo-Italianate townhouse features original architectural details and is beautifully renovated with luxury sustainable materials to create a true masterpiece of architecture and design. Built by famed architect James Renwick Jr., best known for creating St. Patrick's Cathedral and the Smithsonian Institute, this unique home built in 1858 is where past and present magnificently intersect. 

This home will be delivered vacant and is perfect for either an end-user or as an investment opportunity. It can be used as a single-family residence, or a 2-family home — giving the owner an opportunity for rental income and live/work. 

Asking price: $9.2 million. 

As the Post noted, photographer Alexi Lubomirski and his wife Giada are the current owners. Molly Ringwald and Panio Gianopoulos owned the upstairs apartment before selling it to the Lubomirskis for $1.7 million in 2016. 

Unrelated sort of — Alexander Skarsgård is selling his co-op across the street. Perhaps he's getting a more prominent place — given that GoJo is buying Waystar Royco!

The Salads Days of our lives

Top photo by Steven yesterday

Superiority Burger is putting its former space to use for a Salads Days pop up here on Mondays and Saturdays at 430 E. Ninth St. between Avenue A and First Avenue. 

An explanation via the SB/SD Insta: 

This season's greenmarket vegetables and fruits turned into fun as hell salads and ice creams two times a week. No burgers, no beans, no baldor, no bread, nothing cooked. The ovens won't get turned on because they don't work anyway. Your *new* favorite east 9th st. storefront. 

Salads Days starts today, from 5-9 p.m. ... and will happen on Saturdays too from 2-6 p.m.

Superiority Burger closed the Ninth Street HQ (but held onto it) in November ahead of a move to a larger space at 119 Avenue A between Seventh Street and St. Mark's Place — the former Odessa.

Here's a look inside the old Odessa the other week courtesy of Stacie Joy (and some brown paper peeled away from inside the front window)...       

No word on an opening date here. 

The popular all-vegetarian quick-serve spot opened in the East Village in June 2015.

Reader report: Private security firm now keeping tabs on unhoused encampment on 9th Street

Photo by Jose Garcia 

Several readers have noted that the unhoused encampment is back under the sidewalk bridge along the former P.S. 64 on Ninth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C. (The city has unsuccessfully attempted to place the residents in shelters multiple times this spring, resulting in several arrests.) 

The arrival of the tents also prompted someone to hire private security. It's not known who may have enlisted the services of Madison Security Group.

Per one local resident: "A Madison Security car was stationed alongside the encampment all last night with its lights flashing at them."
