More dessert for former Ben & Jerry's space?
Paper is up at the former Ben & Jerry's space on Third Avenue and NYU... which closed back in September, as Jeremiah reported. (Ben and Jerry's closed, not NYU.) There aren't any permits on file for this space... still, it appears some work has been going on here... Prime location.... Can't imagine that we're in for any surprises here... It has to be dessert related, don't you think?
No more Lil' Monsters on East 10th Street
Not sure exactly when Lil' Monsters, the pet care and animal rescue, shuttered at 279 E. 10th St. between Avenue A and First Avenue...
They opened last year around this time... I actually had to remove the post for a time. I was getting bombarded with e-mails and comments from people in North Carolina. For some reason, they seemed to think I owned the space and was responsible for kidnapping their pets. Seriously.

ConEd laying cable on Avenue B
Swung by 7B for a drink tonight... and Avenue B between Seventh Street and Sixth Street is closed right now... A ConEd worker said they were "replacing cable." I had a tough time finding a place to park my car because of this.*
*Kidding, Jesus! Kidding about driving, that is. I mean, ConEd is really working there.

Lawsuit blockbusters! Cat scratch fever at McSorley's
The Post has this catty exclusive today....
A New Jersey woman has kicked up a feline fury at the 156-year-old McSorley's Old Ale House, by filing a lawsuit claiming she was viciously attacked by the venerable bar's pet cat and had to be hospitalized.
Cheryl Sibley, 53, of Hasbrouck Heights, says she suffered the mini-mauling in October 2009, according to papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court last week.
The suit doesn't say exactly how the terrible tabby made a meal of Sibley.
But the woman claims the "live animal" attack left her with "serious injuries" that required medical care, the court papers state.
Gothamist has more photos of Minnie.
