Verso finds new Life on Avenue C
The folks behind Verso, the Italian trattoria on East Eighth Street and Avenue C, have revamped their space… it is now Life - Kitchen and Bar (it has nothing to do with the former Life Cafe that closed two-plus years ago on Avenue B). And they open tonight.
The new space looks to be more casual than Verso… and here's a look at the menu...

More Citi Bike docking stations for East 10th Street
This afternoon, crews are adding more docking stations to the existing Citi Bikes hub on East 10th Street along Tompkins Square Park, EVG reader John reports... He figures there will be 16-20 more bikes now.... which, among other things, will allow more opportunities to do the stationary workout along here.
Fares from the past: Take a cab up 1st Avenue in the East Village of 1971
We posted this archival video titled "NYC Taxi Ride up 1st Ave circa 1971" back in February 2011. Dirty Old 1970's New York City posted it on Facebook this morning... so we thought we'd revisit it as well... the ride starts just past East Houston Street north to East 14th Street. What do you recognize?
Noted
East 11th Street and Avenue A at the week-old 7-Eleven. A more direct message than the last one.

Serendipity to remain in Tompkins Square Park through April
[EV Grieve]
Back in June, we saw the arrival of "Serendipity," the life-sized sculpture of Christopher Gamble's silhouette in Tompkins Square Park. The silhouette is in honor of Gamble, who was homeless for nearly 28 years. Fanny Allié's creation was expected to be in the Park through this month.
However! Fanny let us know that the work will remain in the Park until April 25.
Soooo... given its stay through winter, it's likely good that someone saw fit to put a hat on the sculpture...

...which actually matches the leisure suit that someone put on it late last month...

Gamble now lives in an apartment run by the Bowery Residents' Committee.
