A ConEd Day today on Avenue A
They're putting up something or another atop the substation here on Avenue A between Sixth Street and Fifth Street... And nearly every ConEd employee is on hand to watch. Avenue A is screwy from Fourth Street to Seventh Street. Down to one lane.
[Updated] Reader report: Small fire Smoke spotted above La Palapa
Via @pablo_escolar comes word that passersby spotted smoke on the ledge/balcony above La Palapa on St. Mark's Place, just west of First Avenue. The FDNY were quickly on the scene and seemed to have the situation under control, he reported. More to come, if necessary...
All is well. Restaurant is open as usual... the smoke/flames/raging inferno had nothing to do with La Palapa, we're told...
Updated:
DNAinfo has a report too...Apparently some garbage on the balcony somehow caught fire... "It was no big deal," Judy Maeda, the restaurant's maître d’, told DNA. "It was just smoke, no flames."

Another stump for Tompkins Square Park
Yesterday, workers were on hand to remove the rest of the tree that came down last week near Seventh Street and Avenue A ...
I've lost track of the number of trees we've lost in the Park last year... 6? 7?
