Mind your bench manners at Momofuku Milk Bar
Momofuku Milk Bar moved across 13th Street and opened up a new shop at the end of April.

We'll have to wait longer to find out about plans for 34 Avenue A
34 Avenue A was one of the most intriguing items on tonight's CB3/SLA docket. In March, the committee rejected the proposal to turn the former Aces and Eights space back into a performance venue.
No name was on the appliacation for the space in May, simply: "To Be Determined, 34 Ave A (op)"
In any event, we'll have to wait longer to find out about the plans for the space: 34 Avenue A is a scratch for tonight.
Meanwhile, one other item of interest: 200 Avenue A, the art gallery with a full liquor license. In previous posts on this the gallery, several readers claimed that they were misled when it came to sign a petition of approval for the plans.
For instance, per Cat Sitter in the City:
And!

I wish I could take my signature off that Superdive/now we're an art gallery petition I signed. It really bugs me that the girls were telling me they were creating an art gallery. I had no idea it was an art gallery with a liquor license, and I wonder if they duped others in the same way.
And!

Oh, great. I signed their petition. They said it was going to be an art gallery. They were two nice girls who didn't say anything about booze. I feel like I was hoodwinked.
This weekend in big parties on Avenue B
Late Saturday night/early Sunday morning, a reader noted a large, uh, gathering on Avenue B... bringing back nightmares memories of Le Souk...
While they were in front of the former hookah hotspot, partygoers were actually going in the door next to the space for a party in an apartment above the old Le Souk ...

Barbao closed again this past weekend
Barbao on St. Mark's Place remained closed Friday and Saturday nights. Michael "Bao" Huynh's eatery was not open the previous weekend due to an "electricity problem."
Friday!
Saturday!
Friday!
Saturday!
Verso opens today
After weeks of extensive renovations, Verso, the former Caffe Pepe Rosso/Caffe Cotto, opens today on Avenue C at Eighth Street, Dave on 7th notes...
And it appears that the to-go window isn't really happening...

Asleep on the stoop
Taken outside the now-defuct Jazz on the Town Hostel on 14th Street near Second Avenue by James and Karla Murray.
Bike lane patrol
EV Grieve correspondent Bobby Williams noted yesterday that police officers were on Second Avenue at Fifth Street waiting for cyclists to run the red light... the fellow pictured apparently didn't stop, and was let off with a warning.
Let's not mention this to samo, OK? Previously.

Landlords enter bed bugs battle
Several readers noted the arrival of these letters from their landlords this past week...
So, basically, to avoid the spread of bed bugs, you have to wrap your mattress and box springs in plastic before dumping it on the curb — whether or not you even have bed bugs. There is a fine of up to $100 if your bed isn't wrapped. Landlords such as Brownstone Building Mgmt here will fine you the tenant then. If they can figure out who the mattress belonged to, that is.

When surveyors make us nervous
We can't help but be nervous when we see things like surveyors at work outside Billy's Antiques on Houston... What are they surveying? What godawful thing is coming/happening next to this region near the Bowery?
And why do we hear rumors about something Starbucksy coming to the vacant storefront behind Pulino's?

This weekend: The Ukrainian Festival
It's an EV Grieve favorite... and workers are setting up now...
