110 Third Ave. is missing its 3


Dunno exactly when this happened. Was the 3 broken? Stolen? Has anyone checked the 3 at 123 Third Ave.?

DOH temporarily closes Mamani Pizza on Avenue A


The 99-cent pizza specialists on Avenue A near 10th Street remained closed during the weekend after a DOH visit last Wednesday. In total, there were 64 violation points... the usual — evidence of various things... Plus — "Food Protection Certificate not held by supervisor of food operations."

You see these flyers yesterday? I spotted them on Avenue A and Avenue B...

First Street Garden closed until Tuesday

This sight gave us a start...


But. As the sign explains... it's just temporary. Anyone know exactly what the construction is about? (Ah — new fence. See the comments.)

At the 'Let Them Eat Cake/Eat the Rich/ No Comfort Zone street party'

First stop tonight for John Penley and company — the Economakis Dream Mansion on East Third Street...




...then it was on to the BMW Guggenheim Lab ... where the group busted inside as the gates were closing... and LES Jewels read a poem...



Then!


The Mars Bar...


We'll have more tomorrow... all photos by Bobby Williams.

Today's sign of the apocalypse


From an alarmed reader ... spotted on East 10th Street near Second Avenue earlier today ... per the reader: "I can’t even begin to guess why they were dressed like this. Honestly, they all look like they went to boarding school in Connecticut. Why are these people even drawn to the East Village?"

That dumpster outside the Mars Bar

Early last evening, Goggla noted the arrival of a dumpster alongside the Mars Bar ... Perhaps it's in advance of tonight's street party-protest?


So we took a look inside this morning... not much of interest. Kind of looked like someone ransacked an IKEA store.
