Baseball tonight: Yankees-Red Sox rivalry brewing on Second Avenue?

As baseball fans gear up for the season opener tonight between the Yankees and Red Sox... Finnerty's on Second Avenue near 14th Street put up a large Yankees logo Friday...



...which is next door to the EV home of the Red Sox, Professor Thom's...



We asked Chris at Professor Thom's if they would let this stand...

"I saw that Friday when they were painting it. Rather big, huh? We won't be going that far -- our rep is very public already. But, look for a line down the sidewalk dividing the two fan bases."

You'll need to get your ham burrito elsewhere today



Chipotle on Union Square is closed... and they're very sorry about this.

Seen at the fish market: Spare the monkfish! Have an Easter Bunny instead!



13th Street.

Seventh Street, 9:52 a.m., April 4

Hunts that involve Easter eggs

And if you plan it right, you can go to all three...

Pillow talk


From the EV Grieve inbox...maybe more of a warning...

New York City's 5th annual, and the world's 3rd annual Pillow Fight Day!

Pillows fly and teddies soar as you converge for a giant urban pillow fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants. Bring a soft pillow and wait for the signal. Pillow fight!

Rules: Please follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and fun pillow fight for everybody!

+ Soft, feather-free pillows only!
+ Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once.
+ Do not swing at people without pillows or with cameras.
+ Remove glasses beforehand!
+ Deposit pillows in donation boxes or take them with you.
+ Pajamas welcome.

Cleanup: Please eliminate your use of feathers. As the pillow fight grows in size, so does the mess. By participating, you are pledging to clean up twice the mess you made :)

This year, pillows will be collected and donated to a midtown no-kill animal shelter to make bedding for rescued dogs and cats.


According to Facebook, "This event has 16,844 confirmed guests." I hope this is worldwide and not just NYC...

Street fair!

On Cooper Square today... oh, how I missed the naked mannequins and charbroiled sizzlin' chicken...






And Cooper Square Hotel guests get this street fair as an added bonus for staying here this weekend...



If you're away, then don't fret... the same vendors will be here 458 more times by summer's end...

Lost kitty found

You always take pictures of a crane





As I've said. This crew on Avenue B near Fourth Street was there to load a new AC unit for Tompkins Square Middle School...

And then, one day, it was spring
