Virage reopens
Virage on Second Avenue at Seventh Street closed this week for renovations... and, per their sign, they were expected to reopen last night... and they were open...
Reporting for duty
11th Street and Second Avenue this morning. Santacon is on. Do with this information what you want. They're a) fun-loving thrillseekers enjoying some holiday camaraderie b) obnoxious twats.

Duran Duran still draws a crowd
Duran Duran's Simon Le Bon and Nick Rhodes stopped by Mark Ronson’s Authentic Sh*t on East Village Radio tonight... and... Wooooo!

So... how's the M15 Select Bus service faring?
A few days ago EV Grieve reader Mike checked in with a report on the M15 Select Bus... been awhile since we heard anything about it...
And this morning, Mike noticed that the MTA looks to be installing MORE machines at 14th Street and First Avenue... which could help alleviate those rush-hour ticket lines...
So while waiting to buy ride and get receipt, I chatted with both the woman in front and back of me. Both of them loved the Select Bus! The biggest negative continues to be the lines that form for the machines to get tickets during rush hour. And that lady this morning who apparently decided that she didn't need to wait in line like everyone else, even when she cut right in front of me and I explained that the queue of people wasn't just folks fond of loitering — she acted dumbfounded and was not responsive, but hopefully that was from shame more than from being an asshole, which is how it seemed.
Rest in Peace M15 Limted Bus, Long Live M15 Select Bus!

Shit Week continues: Majestic willow tree butchered on Eighth Street
An EV Grieve reader out walking his dog this morning was shocked to find that the majestic willow on Eighth Street near Avenue C....
... had been hacked down... seemingly overnight...
Per the reader: "maybe it was diseased, but it looked perfectly healthy to me."
Melanie just posted a photo of this willow at East Village Corner. In the comments I said that I loved this tree.
UPDATE:
A reader sends along another photo, noting that "it looks worse in the daylight."
Ugh.
