The Bambi Killers — always a favorite... and it was the band's first show of 2013...
And David Peel & the Lower East Side...
And the Damn Kids...
And they were just three of the bands to perform today during the 25th Annual Tompkins Square Park Riot Reunion concert this afternoon... more bands are on the bill tomorrow afternoon.

[Updated] The Shadow returns
You can find copies of the underground paper, which debuted in 1989, this weekend during the 25th Annual Riot Reunion shows in Tompkins Square Park.
Updated:
Stores carrying The Shadow include: St. Mark's Books, East Village Books (St. Mark's, between First + Ave A), Gem Spa, Blue Stockings, MORUS (Museum of Reclaimed Urban Space) at 155 Avenue C, and more to come.
Per Chris: "The Shadow is all about neighbors supporting local businesses that support the community. We need more stores and venues to sell The Shadow."
[Updated] Lula's Sweet Apothecary apparently reopening today
[From May]
Back in May we noted that Lula's Sweet Apothecary, the popular vegan ice cream shop on East Sixth Street, had been closed for a reorganization.
Fast forward to today.
So happy Blythe Boyd, founder of @lulasweet is opening her new vegan shop at 3pm today at 516 E 6th (A/B). See you there! @evgrieve

There's no mention of a reopening just yet on Lula's Facebook page or website.
Updated:
As we understand it, the shop will have a yet-to-be-determined new name.
Previously on EV Grieve:
Report: Divorce could force closure of Lula’s Apothecary on East Sixth Street
A new sign at Lula's Sweet Apothecary, which remains closed on East 6th Street
For conversation starters, there's always a Bud Light Lime Display Tree
So there's this. A tipster shared this Craigslist post dated July 28 ... Per the all-caps post, it's a "GREAT DISPLAY RACK AND CONVERSATION STARTER."
Seeing as it's Craiglist, you never know if this is for real... Also, the address for pick-up is the St. Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery.
In any event, not sure if this would start a conversation as much as stifle it...
Takin' it to the streets like the Doobie Brothers
Summer Streets started today...like here on Fourth Avenue at East 12th Street... Per the SS website:
With nearly 7 miles of open streets, 5 rest stops and a seven-block-long art installation in the Park Avenue Tunnel – open to pedestrians for the first time in history – there is plenty to explore at Summer Streets. And remember, everything at Summer Streets is free!
And sorry about that headline. Hey, it's free!

Bag from the past
EVG reader Lara Kubovcik spotted spotted a familiar site on First Avenue and East 11th Street yesterday... this Tower Records bag... the store on East Fourth Street and Broadway closed in 2006 (as well as the one on the Upper West Side) ... which reminds me to drop my Gimbels bag on the street one of these days...

Village Fishmonger starting Monday night delivery service to Tompkins Square Bagels
Until that happens, here's an interim solution... Starting Monday night from 6-8, Tompkins Square Bagels at 165 Avenue A will serve as a pick-up location for anyone who orders from Village Fishmonger.
Samantha Lee, an owner of Village Fishmonger, which launched last fall, said that they are "a sustainable seafood company in NYC that sources local and responsibly harvested seafood."
It works like Community Supported Agriculture, delivering locally harvested seafood to members on a weekly basis. Tompkins Square Bagels is VF's first East Village pick-up location. (They also do a series with the Washington Square CSA at the St Mark's Church-in-the-Bowery Greenmarket on Tuesdays this summer.)
You can find more details about how all this works at the Village Fishmonger website.
Lee, a former East Village resident, told us that "there is a need for more access to better seafood product, which we definitely felt when we lived in the area."
