First sign of Christmas trees
The trees have arrived on 14th Street and First Avenue...in front of O'Hanlon's...
And the trees should be here any minute on Second Avenue in front of the St. Mark's Church in-the-Bowery

Black Friday update: Live from the front lines
The Duane Reade on 14th Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue was free of pesky shoppers...
Ample supplies of JLo and Halle Berry scents still available...

Get Local
But seriously...when it comes to shopping... The East Village Community Coalition has released the 3rd edition of its "Get Local" Shopping Guide. As the EVCC notes:
Remember, when you choose locally over mega-chains, you:
-Create local jobs with fair living wages
-Choose creativity and personality over uniformity
-Keep more money in the community
-Provide economic activity and stability
-Sustain small business owners who strengthen the local economy
-Defend our neighborhood's identity
-Fight the lie that low prices at chain stores make up for the loss of local business ownership
"The Brooklyn Heist" starts tonight at the Theatre 80
The Blarney Cove was not open last evening
And I recall the bar being open on previous Thanksgivings... Always a good place to spend the afternoon.

Rumors!: Will PJ Hanley's be opening a pizza shop on First Avenue?
Following up on the scoop from yesterday, intrepid EV Grieve reader dmbream has heard that the PJ Hanley's folks will be opening a pizza shop at 122 First Ave. Makes sense, given that the Carroll Gardens location added a coal-burning pizza oven last year.
