Welcome inside The Bowery Diner, an all-American homage that updates the 1950s comfort food institution in all the right ways (yes, your diner now has a raw bar), slated to open in early January. (UrbanDaddy)

Sad-looking tree still looks sad on East Sixth Street

24 hours after spotting one lone tree for sale outside Sunny and Annie's on Avenue B and Sixth Street... the poor thing remains...

I would buy it. Except that I already have a tree. And my tree never gets along with other trees.

And don't you think the tree is shaped like the Grinch's head?

Beef and booze mania on the January CB3/SLA docket: Bad Burger, 5 Napkin Burger and BareBurger

Vampire Freaks closing on Avenue A

As you can see from the signs sent along via a reader, the retail outlet for goths, punks and everyone else into skull-and-crossbones apparel is closing... Haven't heard just yet if they'll continue as an online-only entity like before opening here between 11th Street and 12th Street in the fall of 2008...

Breaking: Japadog opening on Jan. 5; lines to start forming Jan. 2

[Friday outside the Japadogster home, by Bobby Williams]

Grub Street hears that the Japadog location is opening at 30 St. Mark's Place on Jan. 5. (They have a copy of the menu too.)

No word just yet when the lines will start forming ... so we'll go with Jan. 2. Bring your blankets!

Previously on EV Grieve:
Cue the long lines: Japadog opening first New York City location on St. Mark's Place

Today, we're 4

Today marks the four-year anniversary of EV Grieve.

Many thanks for being part of this — reading, commenting, sharing, laughing, crying, making "Is that Lady Gaga?" jokes. Thank you for helping inspire me to keep the site going. Thank you for whatever you do to help keep this neighborhood interesting.

And now, on this occasion, an inside look at how we create a post.

First, we place our process information in the relationship below.

(Conveyor speed of _____ feet per hour) X (Dwell time of _____ hour) = (Heat zone length of _____ feet)

... and, well, you get the idea...

UPDATED:
Thank you to Rosie Gray for the nice write-up today at Runnin' Scared. You can read that post here.

Envisioning a new-look First Avenue nightlife scene

For better or worse, changes are likely for three nightlife establishments on the east side of First Avenue between First Street and Second Street. Let's take a look.

On the corner, there's the long-dormant Cafe Rama space...

In the fall, The Bean announced that it would take over this space. Since then, however, The Bean decided to focus on their new locations on Second Avenue at Third Street and First Avenue at Ninth Street instead. The space is now for rent.

Meanwhile, people have been buzzing about the anticipated departure of Lucky Cheng's (and Bento Burger around the bend on Second Street).

As Grub Street first reported, owner Hayne Suthon is planning to relocate to Midtown. And her First Avenue empire is on the blocks. (By the way, if you haven't already, then you should really read Jeremiah Moss's post on the recent history of this address at Vanishing New York.)

And then there is Sutra, the lounge-club owned by Community Board 3 member Ariel Palitz.

As we first reported on Nov. 7, Palitz decided to put the space on the market "to explore its value and interest."

So that's three of seven businesses on one short block where we may see some changes.

The possibilities are probably endless. Which isn't always a good thing.

The last holiday tree for sale at Sunny and Annie's

Aww, it's OK little fella. Someone will take you home... Sixth Street and Avenue B last night.

Spotted at the Hells Angels HQ on East Third Street today... the hawk had the good sense not to sit on the bench out front...
