Bombing the Domino Sugar Refinery

The Graffiti Friend of EV Grieve (GFOEVG) passed along a link from north of the Williamsburg Bridge... As The Street Spot noted this past Friday, the Domino Sugar Refinery was bombed last week in epic fashion...

Thanks to Luna Park for letting us repost these... She has more shots on her Flickr page.

Pot/pregnant wife etiquette sign already spoofed

On Friday, we posted this apartment etiquette sign from The Luxury Spot...

It was quickly spoofed at Barstool New York...

Etiquette sign season continues

Spotted on Third Street between the Bowery and Second Avenue...

Apparently a few folks from the Renewal on Bowery shelter across the street are congregating here...

A note for the irresponsible dog owners

Why Pulino's chef Nate Appleman was arrested

According to Page Six today:

Nate Appleman, chef at Keith McNally's new Bowery hotspot Pulino's, got arrested Wednesday afternoon in the East Village. Appleman, who is covered in tattoos but stands barely 5-foot-8, was heading home from the pizza restaurant between shifts when cops spotted a chain running from his belt into a pocket. "It's a pocket knife that's two inches long that I used to cut boxes at work," Appleman told us. "I've collected knives since I was a kid. My mother gives me a knife every year on my birthday. This knife is the one she got me this year." After three police cars surrounded him, Appleman was taken to the 9th Precinct and charged with weapons possession. He was released two hours later and is due in court on April 27.

Baseball tonight: Yankees-Red Sox rivalry brewing on Second Avenue?

As baseball fans gear up for the season opener tonight between the Yankees and Red Sox... Finnerty's on Second Avenue near 14th Street put up a large Yankees logo Friday...

...which is next door to the EV home of the Red Sox, Professor Thom's...

We asked Chris at Professor Thom's if they would let this stand...

"I saw that Friday when they were painting it. Rather big, huh? We won't be going that far -- our rep is very public already. But, look for a line down the sidewalk dividing the two fan bases."

You'll need to get your ham burrito elsewhere today

Chipotle on Union Square is closed... and they're very sorry about this.

Seen at the fish market: Spare the monkfish! Have an Easter Bunny instead!

Pillow talk

From the EV Grieve inbox...maybe more of a warning...

New York City's 5th annual, and the world's 3rd annual Pillow Fight Day!

Pillows fly and teddies soar as you converge for a giant urban pillow fight! Swing and whack as you evade pillow-wielding assailants. Bring a soft pillow and wait for the signal. Pillow fight!

Rules: Please follow these guidelines to ensure a safe and fun pillow fight for everybody!

+ Soft, feather-free pillows only!
+ Swing lightly, many people will be swinging at once.
+ Do not swing at people without pillows or with cameras.
+ Remove glasses beforehand!
+ Deposit pillows in donation boxes or take them with you.
+ Pajamas welcome.

Cleanup: Please eliminate your use of feathers. As the pillow fight grows in size, so does the mess. By participating, you are pledging to clean up twice the mess you made :)

This year, pillows will be collected and donated to a midtown no-kill animal shelter to make bedding for rescued dogs and cats.
