A chivalrous cyclist
From Craigslist:
Bicyclist Saves Girl w. Luggage - w4m - 24 (East Village)
A thank you to the nice man in a gray hoodie and red scarf who used his bicycle to block me from the angry homeless man outside my building as I struggled to get my luggage through the door.
Let the weary traveler buy you a drink?

...still counting

Tomorrow is the last day to view "...still counting" at the Michael Mut Gallery at 97 Avenue C near Seventh Street.
Per the website:
"…still counting…" is Mr. Mut's continued expression of hope for peace and transformation of humanity. Since the devastating incidents of 9/11, the ongoing reports of death in Iraq and Afghanistan, the constant presence of killing in the media and entertainment, Mut has taken his deep feelings of sadness and crafted this unique and haunting artistic expression.
Who's going to the bike lane protest?
The bike lane/etc protest is at 5 today at 14th Street and First Avenue.... Looks like EV Grieve will be stuck at work... so if anyone happens to be there and wants to file a brief report... we'd very much appreciate that....grieve98@gmail.com
Tearful anniversaries: A look back at the EV Lambo
First, press play. (Or not.)
Was just about this time last week in which the world was introduced to the EV Lambo...

[EV Grieve reader Joe]
It brought immediate media attention. (Daily Intel ... Runnin' Scared) ...
And we saw the birth of @EVLambo.
We fought. We flirted. We fell in love.
And now. Nothing. Like A-ha, we've hunted high and low for the EV Lambo.... nothing.
We've had our hopes crushed. We saw a flash of orange by the Mars Bar... and we ran! Ran until our legs were bloody stumps a few feet away... Crushed, like an orange. A different orange sporty car!

Oh, just that other orange sporty car.

Timi's Gelateria Classica™ opening in former Andy's Chee-Pees space on St. Mark's Place
After a little speculation this week, we have confirmation what's coming to the former Andy's Chee-Pee's space on St. Mark's near Second Avenue: Timi's Gelateria Classica™ — "a gelato franchise for the 21st century, with true Italian artisanal gelato made fresh daily."


This is the first U.S. location... per the website:
The upstairs will feature an Internet cafe. Look for it to open next week.
Meanwhile! On the corner! Roastown has a new sign...
This is the first U.S. location... per the website:
A unique blend of Italian recipes from Veneto's renowned gelato experts and local, farm-fresh ingredients, Timi's Gelateria Classica™ is a zero-mile concept that brings a high-tech gelato experience from Italy to NYC for the first time. More than your typical gelateria, it will highlight the sweet and savory sides of Italian dairies with the unique combination of a mozzarella bar, a café proudly serving Lavazza, Italy's favorite coffee, and frullati bar for all-season, daylong options. Timi's Gelateria Classica™ Italiana NYC will be the flagship location for the Italian mini-chain, which has successfully launched its stores throughout the world in countries such as China, Mexico, Romania, and of course, Italy.
