At the Rally to Stop Police Brutality
Yesterday marked the 16th Annual National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality ... the peaceful rally/protest started at Union Square ... Bobby Williams picked up the route in Tompkins Square Park... then down East Eighth Street ... Avenue C and Avenue D... We don't have an exact number of people who were marching ... almost seemed as if there were equal numbers of the NYPD ...
EV Grieve reader Kirk sends along a few more shots from the 16th Annual National Day of Protest to Stop Police Brutality yesterday... from Avenue D....
... and two photos showing the police presence on the rooftops of the Lillian Wald Houses...

Mobile crane crew arrives to delab the BMW Guggenheim Lab
A crew arrived around 9 this morning to begin delabbing the BMW Guggenheim Lab... They're just getting started... so you have plenty of time to swing by and watch....
As of 9:25 or so, the delabbing didn't have any noticeable effect on the Prune brunch line... Prune opens at 10.

NYPD cites two East Village bars last night
Multiple readers sent along word that the Undercover/Underage Patrol was out in full force last night...
There's a "closed by court order" sign at Bar 81 on Seventh Street...
...and a "restraining order" and a whole bunch of legalese papers on U2 (or 2U) Karaoke on St. Mark's Place... for "illegal sale of alcoholic beverages."
Know of any other bars that the NYPD cited last night...?

NYPD pulls over cyclist this morning on the Bowery
We've reported on cyclists who received tickets for blowing through red lights... (like here)...
This morning, the NYPD pulled over this fellow at First Street on the Bowery... Word is he zipped through the intersection at Houston and the Bowery without stopping for the light...
We stood around awkwardly for an awkwardly long time (how long can you pretend to look at Steven Tyler's clothing line?) to see if the officers would write him a ticket... we left when our cover was blown... Don't look at the camera! Stay in character!

Breaking: Starbucks plywood going up on First Avenue
EVFlip sends along photos of workers putting up the plywood on First Avenue at Third Street, home of the former Bean...
As you know, the Bean left to make way for the Starbucks, the Times first reported on Sept. 14.
Per EVFLip: "I'm guessing that it's just for construction, but seeing as Ben Shaoul is involved with this space, it may be a retractable balcony!"

People behind fabulous hotels opening another likely fabulous hotel on Ludlow Street
A record — two posts on 180 Ludlow in one day. Earlier, we mentioned that there were new lights on the loooooooooong-dormant apartment-hotel-apartment-no-a-hotel! site just off Houston. Well, you can thank the new owner for the illumination. Curbed is reporting this afternoon that BD Hotels have purchased the
As BoweryBoogie noted, "Expect construction to resume at the 170-room eyesore in due course."
Lordy.
