Looking forward to NEXT Saturday in Tompkins Square Park

Save the date... will have more reminders on what promises to be a great afternoon in Tompkins Square Park next Saturday....

The SHADOW Presents: The Headless Horsemen, David Peel + The Lower East Side, Rapid Deployment Force, Sexual Suicide, BANJI and *Star Fucking Hipsters* [Surprise speakers and more bands to be announced]

To get us in the mood... some Sexual Suicide from last summer...

As the Shepard Fairey mural turns...

Thanks to a reader tip... we now know the plywood peepee has been partially covered with new art here on Houston and The Bowery...





Here's a shot of the new art going up via *niCOle* on Flickr...

The street has a message for Shepard Fairey

World's largest Duane Reade now open on Union Square

Well, I'm not sure if it is the world's largest... but this store is huge. Anyway, the Duane Reade is now open next to the Nordstrom Rack in the old Virgin space...



...check out the big bank of fancy video monitors on the right too...



They opened yesterday...



...and are advertising "breakfast, lunch and dinner" in an attempt to nab the masses going to Whole Foods... Oh fresh baked goods!



I would have stayed longer, but in five minutes, three different super-duper-friendly Duane Reade employees asked me if I needed help finding anything...
Yes! The exit!

Saturday afternoon at Zum Schneider without the World Cup



OK, so it was also early afternoon and hot ... not to mention a summer Saturday... was more crowded later, of course...

Anyway, I had been used to seeing this the last month on weekend mornings ...

From Page Six today:

Now we know what Mayor Bloomberg and Diana Taylor have in common -- they were both party animals. In a speech yesterday at Dartmouth, Taylor's alma mater, Bloomberg said, "I remember having nothing but fun in college." The Post's Jennifer Fermino reports Bloomberg also said Taylor told him she skied constantly while attending the New Hampshire university, but he thinks she "drank a lot [and] probably smoked a lot." Bloomberg, who went to John Hopkins, confessed to a dismal academic record: "If you think I don't have 'Animal House' on my iPad, you are wrong," he said.

This disarming man: Larry David on Fourth Avenue



Filming "Curb Your Enthusiasm" on Fourth Avenue and 12th Street a little bit ago... thanks to EV Grieve reader Shaps for the shot.
