For some reason, someone removed these wheatpaste signs within a few hours today on Seventh Street ...
The restored Alamo will be on display from July 10-16. Rosenthal is being inducted posthumously into the fair's Hall of Fame, so the city's commissioners voted unanimously to loan the historical piece to commemorate the occasion.
Hamptonites may also be familiar with the similar spinning steel Rosenthal sculpture, "Cube 72," which was made in 1972 and found a prominent spot outside Guild Hall in East Hampton.Hamptons Fine Art Fair founder and Executive Director Rick Friedman says securing the massive piece was no easy feat. "To get this loan from New York City is outrageous," he said. "It's like getting the Statue of Liberty," Friedman added, pointing out that negotiations took about a year, with a lot of back and forth, an army of lawyers and piles of paperwork.But, he said, it was worth the effort.
Given its VIP reception out east, the Cube will likely not return home via the Jitney.
Jazba will have a bar at the front of the restaurant, equipped with a craft cocktail menu, and two dining rooms serving recipes Bhardwaj picked up while visiting popular roadside eateries in India.
It follows the misadventures of a New York couple who think they have hit the jackpot when they move into a cheap apartment. They soon discover they have landed landlords quite literally from hell, who want them to pay the rent with their lives.
The film is based on real-life mysterious events in Piper's apartment which he shares with his wife (Leigh Houston) in New York's East Village (aka "the eVil").After more screenings on the festival circuit, "eVil Sublet," which also features Sally Struthers, will receive a commercial release later this year. Check out the trailer...
"This entire area truly smells like shit. It's actually impressive how much it smells. No kidding."

Local City Councilmember Carlina Rivera was also by the Mayor's side and thanked him for the visit. "We look forward to continued partnership to improve quality of life and well-being in our communities." While a few hecklers were in the Park, the tour and conversation were seen as positive by those in attendance...Tompkins Square Park is a cultural hub, a place to enjoy nature for thousands of local residents. TSP needs investment to keep it safe for NYers. We talked to @NYCMayor about the need for more gardeners & resources for NYers experiencing homelessness or substance use disorders. pic.twitter.com/WJHrxfX7Ne

"The landlord originally told us six months, and that's obviously not the case," Ise White... told PIX11 News. "Our apartments are in great condition. It's mostly the windows that need to be fixed very easily. There was no structural damage.""Apparently, he's dragging his feet," Nikita Salehi-Azhan, the Mobilization For Justice lawyer and tenant advocate, told PIX11 News. "Unfortunately, it takes a lawsuit to do anything about it. Because only four of the 16 units were occupied and three of the four are rent-stabilized. You can say he doesn't have an incentive to get the repairs going," Salehi-Azhan added.
Due to extensive fire damage at 1st-floor restaurant along with fire, water and smoke damage throughout building... fire fighting operations to vent out entire building where all windows and doors have been removed along with removal of the skylight for venting. These hazardous conditions have therefore rendered the ENTIRE premises unsafe to occupy.
