How about some more gelato for Second Avenue?
Jeremiah and I have both been watching the former Estroff Pharmacy space on Second Avenue between St. Mark's Place and East Ninth Street ... As he noted about the "cryptic symbol" in the front window of the incoming business... "Fro-yo? Mashed potatoes?" ... (And cause for an anxiety dream) ...
[Via JVNY]
Workers on the scene this morning are putting in the new signage and front window, etc. Any guesses?
It will be a gelato shop/cafe.
Gelato? Aren't you thinking that a new gelato shop just opened on Second Avenue? Yes, down just south of East Fourth Street...
Meanwhile, around the corner on St. Mark's Place...
The shell of the former Timi's Gelateria Classica™ — "a gelato franchise for the 21st century, with true Italian artisanal gelato made fresh daily" — sits empty since closing late last year.

Canvassing Tompkins Square Park
Workers started hanging the canvas for Art Around the Park a little after 8 this morning...
...and workers were still at it around 10...
Seems as if there's more canvas up this year too. Anyway, all par of the Howl! Festival.

In case you were going to hang out in a cemetery today
Via EVG regular Spike...
The rain (or threat of rain!) has KO'd the first Open Day of the summer at the New York City Marble Cemetery on East Second Street... they will be welcoming visitors tomorrow...

Previously.
[Updated] Julius Klein has left the East Village
We recently heard that Julius Klein was closing up his studio/gallery space on East First Street at the end of May ... he has leased another space on 23rd Street and Lexington ...
Sure enough, we walked by his space today, and the landlord already put up the for rent signs ...
The for rent sign say "Food OK."
9300 Realty (aka Steve Croman) purchased the building at 44 E. First St. in February 2011 for $2.3 million, according to city records.
As for Klein... Among his many artistic endeavors, the writer-painter-sculptor-designer founded and directed XOXO, a gallery and performance space on East First Street at Second Avenue from June 1991 through July 1997. That was one of the many buildings demolished to make way for the sterile, glassy hell of Avalon Bowery Place.
