Another day of special deliveries for David Schwimmer

On Thursday, workers were making a big special delivery to David Schwimmer's new home on East Sixth Street... a big crane was dropping various accessories off for a rooftop garden...

And yesterday, EVG reader Eva points out that there were even more deliveries...

Party girls pooped in Tompkins Square Park

Looks like we possibly found at least two of the occupants of that stretch pink limo... Jose Garcia spotted these two prima donnas crashed in Tompkins Square Park this morning...



Sadly, the nearby Magic Sippy Cup smelled of vodka...

Zoltar still sees a glassless future in the East Village

As we reported yesterday, a group of youths apparently and/or allegedly smashed Zoltar's glass outside Gem Spa on Second Avenue and St. Mark's Place. East Village Hawkeye heard that Zoltar would be repaired last night.

However. When we stopped by this morning to ask Zoltar who the Giants would take in the first round of the NFL draft (D.J. Fluker? Chance Warmack?), the machine was still out of commission. Someone did clean up the broken glass from inside his perch.

In the meantime, we do like the street-sign shadow on the back of Zoltar's box.

Stretch pink limos terrorize city

There were also multiple reports of stretch pink limos prowling the city's mean streets yesterday... like this one THE NOTORIOUS L.I.B.E.R.A.T.I.O.N. spotted on Broome Street...



... and this one other readers spotted closer to home... striking fear whenever it would come to a stop... Oh, who would come tumbling out from within?!





Ultimately, no word on the occupants.

Going clubbing on Avenue A

Andrew Adam Newman on Ave C spotted these last night near Key on Avenue A...



There were multiple reader reports of a huge golf-themed pub crawl through the neighborhood yesterday...though we do recall seeing Manny the Peddler selling some golf clubs lately as well...

[Updated] Large police presence now on Avenue C and East Third Street

[Via @thestarkonline]

There's currently a large NYPD presence (around 2:15 p.m.) on Avenue C and East Third Street. A lot of rumors involving a DOA. No other details or confirmations as of now. Will update later today when we receive more information.

Updated:

We've heard all sorts of stories... the last of which is that a man was shot in the stomach in a drug deal gone bad... he was expected to recover from his wounds, per a source...

Update: Zoltar will be repaired.... tonight!

Ace photographer East Village Hawkeye has more about the sickening vandalism of Zoltar outside Gem Spa. Via Facebook:

The owner told me that the glass would be fixed tonight. He may have security camera footage of the crime. Nobody working there gave me any description of the vandal(s).

In other developments, a good question via Twitter:

@dishwithdina @tomhanks @evgrieve But why didn't Zoltar see this coming!

And Tom Hanks has been informed.

Speaking of Zoltar and "Big" (you know, the movie) Scouting New York had a post a few years ago about the Zoltar scene at the end of the movie... which took place at Rye Playland. Read that post here.

Last day for Bleecker Bob's; move on hold to the East Village?

Woo! Sausage on a stick! Fried calamari! Heartburn! Recurring gastroenteritis! (Oh, kidding.)

But there is a street fair going on right now on Astor Place up to Broadway, per Bill the Libertarian Anarchist.

First one of the season!

Actually, Zoltar was vandalized! Word is that some "homeless kids" purposefully smashed the Zoltar glass with a skateboard yesterday and ran.





More. Much more! To come.

As word of this crime spreads... friends and followers are sending their regards...

I informed Coney's Wonder Wheel Zoltar of the crime. He sends his condolences and wishes East Village Zoltar a speedy recovery @evgrieve

There are unconfirmed reports that Mayor Bloomberg will cut short his weekend trip to Bermuda to address the situation here.

Sunday afternoon in the Park with NO 7-Eleven

From the EV Grieve inbox...

We're going to chalk up the park at the Tompkins Square Park nonbandshell at 2 pm and then take our chalk and our Community Wheel of Fortune to the corner of Avenue A and 11th Street, the site of the threatened 7-Eleven, and chalk up the street and talk to the passers-by who don't yet know what's coming to their neighborhood. Join us for some good old anti-corporate-anti-suburbanization-and-anti-Pringle-ization-of-our-souls-and-our-streets fun!

Meanwhile, here's video journalism piece CUNY TV produced on the No 7-Eleven group... it starts at the 12:45 mark...
