At the International Pillow Fight Day

Today was the 7th annual International Pillow Fight Day... in Washington Square Park... Bobby Williams was there to take a few various photos...






Joe Strummer's nose job

Noticed this the other day on the Joe Strummer mural outside Niagara on Seventh Street and Avenue A...



Someone added a moustache and swastika last month...

Pin... what?

Just noting the latest mural by Tats Cru on East Second Street at Avenue A... went up this past week... an ad for Fancy, the social photo sharing website and app...


... and the logo is written over the Pinterest logo...

[Updated] Something rammed this tree along Tompkins Square Park

Not sure how else to describe it... only noticed the damage this morning on Avenue B while walking around Tompkins Square Park...


Doesn't look like an accident...


Updated 2:11 p.m.

A photo from EV Grieve reader Steven shows more damage to the tree... the work of a truck, perhaps...
