Fun in the bike lanes
In case you haven't seen this by now... this video has made the rounds the last two days. It's from Casey Neistat, the East Village-based filmmaker about his experience getting a $50 ticket for not riding in the bike lane on Second Avenue near St. Mark's Place.
Hilarity ensues.
And here's an interview with him at New York magazine.

And, last night, we mentioned that a cat named Delilah is missing from 6th Street and Avenue B ... A reader spotted this rather thin-looking cat last night at the Creative Little Garden on Sixth Street between Avenue A and Avenue B... The reader called Delilah's owners, though it wasn't a match...
An update on the Greenpointing of the East Village
It has been four months since we last looked in on the new apartment complex rising on East 5th Street between Avenues A and B. When we last looked at the rendering, a Curbed tipster noted that it was reminiscent of the “condos going up in Greenpoint.”
Which brings us to today, where we now have a better idea of what 532 E. Fifth St. will look like. (Uh, the photo on the left.)
Well, we don’t know about Greenpoint, but the building is green, right down to the promised rooftop gardens.
And! A view of the back of the building...

'Just-renovated' A Building penthouse on resale market with a little off the top
Over at the A Building, the Party Palace on 13th Street ... a penthouse just went on the market. According to Streeteasy, the owner bought it in March 2008 for $1,909,218. It's now listed for $1,895,000.
Well, here are a few views....
And the listing:
Hmm.
Odd that a three-year-old building would feature a "just-renovated" penthouse. Or not, as The Real Deal pointed out last year in an article titled "Massive headaches at the A Building." As TRD reported: "Faulty construction has afflicted roughly a quarter of the A Building's 96 units with serious leakage and mold issues."
In any event, see the penthouse for yourself this Sunday during the open house from 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m. Hey, and bring your swimsuit!
P.S.
If you don't care for this unit, there are six other homes for sale in the A Building, per Streeteasy.
Well, here are a few views....
And the listing:
This just-renovated south-facing penthouse with terrace at The A Building features wonderful sun and sky, 11 foot ceilings, and exceptional contemporary finishes, including LV Bespoke 6 inch wide oak plank floors, Somfi motorized shades, and a B&W surround sound system in the living room with a second zone for the terrace. The ideal layout offers space for a large dining area plus several seating areas, great for entertaining. Both the living room and master bedroom open directly out onto the sunny, 250 SF south-facing terrace, perfect for accommodating dinner guests or just for stumbling straight out of bed to enjoy the flowers and soak up the sun. *Please note, there is a special assessment of $145.98 per month through December of 2011.

Cool off today with a souvenir piece of the Icicle Audi ice
As you likely remember, the biggest story this — or any other, really — year was the Icicle Audi on East Second Street. (No? All you need to know is right here.)
As we exclusively reported on Jan. 24, the owner of the Icicle Audi was able to chip away enough of the ice-covered Audi to move it... and he left behind Icicle Audi ice for various souvenir collectors. Like us!
Instead of selling a souvenir chunk of ice then – when the eyes of the world were on the Icicle Audi... we waited until it got hot out ... when people may be more desperate for a chunk of ice — a liquid of unknown burst NYC water pipe origins frozen into this solidtoxic state. And taking up room in the freezer.
So, behold — with a newspaper for authenticity ...
Bid early and often — and quickly. I've already heard from those guys at Death & Co.
Bonus January flashback!

No opening day set for the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop on Seventh Street
Last month, Serious Eats reported that the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck is opening a brick-and-mortar shop at the former Xoom space on Seventh Street.
In a video interview posted yesterday at The Amateur Gourmet, Doug Quint and Bryan Petroff discussed the Big Gay Ice Cream Empire, which includes a book next summer.
At about the 1:25 mark, Quint tells Adam Roberts that the space is coming along. But! How about an opening date? "It opens when it's ready to be opened," he said. "We want to learn how to run the store properly before we open. So we aren't going to set a date."
And, well, here's the whole interview ...

Why you'll risk life and limb walking under this tree in Tompkins Square Park
On Tuesday night, we wondered why this patch of the sidewalk on Avenue B along Tompkins Square Park was cordoned off with "Danger Do Not Enter" red tape...
As Dave on 7th and Chris noted, there are two large limbs just sort of hanging around up there... a crew has them secured but ... let's hope that a gust of wind doesn't come along until these things have been removed....
