Packing up the 1960s on East Ninth Street

After the Coen Brothers filmed scenes for the 1960s period piece "Inside Llewyn Davis" on East Ninth Street yesterday ... crews were on the scene early this morning to pack up the dressed-up storefronts...

Today outside the Hyatt Union Square

As the signs outside the incoming Hyatt Union Square on Fourth Avenue and 13th Street promised, a crane was on the scene today...


We were hoping to see them hoist the hydroponic bamboo garden. Unfortunately, it was a few things that looked like this.

What is this? (Please, no serious responses.)

Mr. B is missing

...including a little cat and mouse with a squirrel...


Then. The arrival of another red-tail hawk. Squabbling ensued.

Is this the final Starbucks sign on First Avenue?


Marjorie Ingall sends along this photo from First Avenue and East Third Street ... She asks a fine question: Is this signage temporary or will Starbucks keep the stenciled look for that rebellious East Village feel?
