I never noticed the cat before... in part because it's not my usual liquor store ... Or maybe I have seen the cat but not his or her eyes...
Anyone know the cat? His or her name?
Anyway, from here on out, all cats, all the time.

This just might be my new favorite store cat in the East Village
Bobby Williams sent me this photo on Wednesday... it's the liquor store cat on 10th Street and Avenue C...

Michael had to go to Rikers; will be back
Michael has been sleeping in front of a renovated storefront on East Sixth Street. Next to the incoming Schwimmer Manor, actually.
This note appeared this week. As you can see, he had to go to Rikers, either as a visitor or guest. Not sure which.
His blankets are also stored here.

Someone stole the horns off the Billy's Antiques sign
Billy Leroy told us last night that someone swiped the horns off the Billy's Antiques sign on Houston at the Bowery...
"Kinda blows," he said.
So keep your eyes out for these...
The big tent came down here earlier this year... a new Billy's may be back at this corner... Meanwhile, Billy is busy with "Baggage Battles" on the Travel Channel.

2 photos of former East Village pizzerias
Pizza Week is wrapping up over at Eater... and one of their features — Old Photos of New York City Pizzerias.
Among the photos: Village Inn Pizza on Avenue A at St. Mark's Place circa 1979...
Which reminded of a photo I saw a few weeks ago at Neighborhoodr: Tito's Pizzeria on the corner of Second Avenue and 12th Street in 1965...
At the site of the current City Cinemas Village East...
The Tito's photo came via urban metaphysics.

Another sign of the cross at St. Brigid's
The cross is back atop the under-renovation St. Brigid's on Avenue B at Eighth Street... and it looks more permanent since the last time that it made an appearance...
Dunno about you, but we're really looking forward to that construction tarp coming down from the front of the church.
And a photo of the church from 1928 via the NYPL Digital Gallery ...

Norman's Sound & Vision is for rent
Earlier in the week, our friend Alex at Flaming Pablum brought the news that Norman's Sound & Vision was closing and moving to Williamsburg ... the Brooklyn location is open, and now the Cooper Square storefront is for rent...
The East Village location was expected to close in August.
Meanwhile, not necessarily newsy, but the Rockit Scientist space around the corner on St. Mark's Place is also for rent. Rockit closed last month, as Jeremiah first reported...
We're hopeful that owner John Kioussis will decide reopen somewhere else in the neighborhood when the time is right ...
Previously on EV Grieve:
There is now only one record store left on St. Mark's Place

Bendy thing back in action on Second Avenue!
Oh, it has been so long since we've seen that concrete pump bendy thing at work over in the former 9-17 Second Ave. Anyway, Bendy is Back!
And he or she brought his or her cement truck friends along...
Coming soon. A 12-story apartment building. Previously.

This is what 67 and 69 St. Mark's Place looked like on May 10, 2012
This year, we'll post photos like this of various buildings, streetscenes, etc., to capture them as they looked at this time and place... The photos may not be the most telling now, but they likely will be one day...

Amateur hour! You need to wait until nightfall. Duh!
Uh, actually have no idea what was really happening here. Still.
