The road to Wall Street and the Stock Exchange is getting...Eurocobble?
On Nassau Street yesterday...
...and the street will now feature Italy's finest Eurocobble.
Can't wait to see when the Eurotrash takes a walk on the Eurocobble.
(And the crowd boos!)

Looking at 128 E. 13th St.
Been some time since we looked at 128 E. 13th St. between Fourth Avenue and Third Avenue. The historic 1903 carriage house that belonged to Frank Stella was designated for demolition to make room for -- a seven-story condo. This is believed to be the last surviving horse and carriage auction mart building in New York City, according to the Greenwich Village Society for Historic Preservation (GVSHP).
Long story, of course! The building was saved in spring of 2007. And it will be home to the Peridance Center, who signed a long-term lease for use of the building as a dance studio.
Anyway, that was more than two years ago... While a new sign is up, there looks to be a lot of work left...
You can read more about it here on the GVSHP site.

Avenue B to get a little Panache
Last Friday, I mentioned there's a new "eating/drinking establishment" coming to 182 Avenue B at the former home of the Cafe de Nova.
And like that, a new sign appears...meet Panache Cafe (some day).

Sons & Daughters closing on Avenue A; new tenant for A and Third Street?
High-end kid's shop Sons & Daughters at 35 Avenue A is going out of business. Its last day is Aug. 23.
I'm wondering what will become of the mechanical dolphin out front?
This is starting to be a lonely stretch of Avenue A between Third Street and Second Street. The New York City Housing Authority (NYCHA) is the landlord along here. There are already two other prime storefronts available.
Check that! According to the NYCHA Web site, there's an application in process for the long-empty coffee shop at Third Street and Avenue A.

Weekend repeat: Karaoke taking over Mondo Kim's space
I orginally posted this Saturday afternoon.
For further reading on Mondo Kim's.
And thanks to Gothamist for picking up the story Saturday. I liked what Billy Parker had to say:
And I never did find naming a karaoke place after a maximum security prison all that cute.

The space once belonging to Mondo Kim's record and video store on St. Marks Place is going to be opening as a new karaoke joint for the thousands of bridge and tunnelers who desperately need an alternative to Sing Sing across the street.

Vibrating water and racing coolers
If you were around Tompkins Square Park yesterday, then you probably received a few dozen free samples of Vio, the "world's first vibrancy drink."
Anyway! Did you see the souped up, motorized coolers the give-away-gals were driving? They even wore crash helmets!
Yeah, motorized coolers. You know that we just gave a bar owner an idea, right?
