E2E4's private, gated drive gets plowed
Or at least shoveled yesterday morning for those residents who likely don't live here yet.
Perhaps enough room for a toy car.
On Saturday, the 15-stories of condo at East Fourth Street and the Bowery were starting to feel a little homey.

Plump Dumpling opens in new location
The Plump Dumpling has opened at its new location on 11th Street and Second Avenue...just steps from its former space. At the former Citi-Spaces office. Hope the Plump owners paint over that color combo...

More signs for U2/2U perhaps?
At the mammoth three-story karaoke/billiards/gourmet deli palace Friday afternoon, when the Cafe Hanover was supposed to open. It was still not open as of yesterday.

2U (or U2) Karaoke is now open on St. Mark's Place; Hanover Cafe coming soon
Cooper Union retail space back on the market
The retail space at the new Cooper Union is back on the market.
It served as the information center for Performa 09, which ran through Nov. 22.
And what happened to all that wood?
And I wonder if anyone ever claimed the free couch...

White night
Thanks to EV Grieve reader ~evilsugar25 for sharing these excellent photos from last night's storm of the century/decade/year.
Getting into the true spirit of the holidays
At the Post today, V.A. Musetto takes a break from writing about Asian film starlets to discuss three must-see Christmas slasher flicks: "Black Christmas," "Silent Night, Deadly Night" and "You Better Watch Out." As V.A. notes:
John Waters says "You Better Watch Out" is "the best seasonal film of all time." He adds: "I wish I had kids. I'd make them watch it every year and, if they didn't like it, they'd be punished."
And a merry Christmas to you, John.
Life on Mars today
Life on Mars debuts today at the Mars Bar. NYPress caught up with co-curator Grimace, who discussed whether the artwork will change the endearing atmosphere in Mars Bar:
Artwork has always been a very strong element of the look and feel as well as the patrons of Mars Bar. Throughout its 25-year history, many artists such as Basquiat, Keith Haring and Lee Quinones have spent time here, and today many of the people that hang out here and even the bartenders are artists as well. If you focus your eyes in the dim Marsian light, you can always see a ton of art everywhere in Mars Bar. There are canvases behind the bar, custom paintings on the walls, windows and outside. This combined with the history of Mars Bar, the Old-New-York feel that is impossible to get almost anywhere in downtown Manhattan, and very special regulars that have been patrons of Mars Bar for years with many stories to tell, along with the raw art, make the entire bar a living, breathing, drinking art piece on it’s own. This is not something that can ever be re-created in a stuffy Chelsea gallery.

Let it snow (unless you have a flight tonight)
Here comes Santa Claus...right in front of the Ninth Precinct....
A very nice event for the kids today on Fifth Street. They all seemed thrilled. I appreciate the community spirit.
Meanwhile, I did not have my sound monitoring equipment with me. At this hour around 10 a.m. or so, it seemed as if the sound was above the nominal 70 dB at 100 feet, the level the Ninth Precinct makes the bands in Tompkins Square Park adhere to...
Craft-o-holics back at it tonight
Local 269 Bar
269 E. Houston St. (@ Suffolk)
