OK! Roger_Paw made this discovery today on East First Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue...
And she is quite excited about this. "I rushed over to the nearby gas station and bought a paper to prove authentication. The thing still had lights and ornaments on it!"
Gruber MacDougal, spokesperson for the International Coalition of Tree Tossing in the Spring (ICTTS), was his usual reserved self.
"We applaud Roger_Paw for paying $1.25 for today's New York Post," said MacDougal, who's attending the beatification ceremony for Pope John Paul II in St. Peter’s Square. "In our estimation, the paper was only worth 87 cents."

52E4 space now advertising beverages
The ground-floor retail space awaits a tenant here at 52E4, the 15 stories of condo on the Bowery near Fourth Street ... Meanwhile, might as well make at the window space useful... a new SoBe campaign appeared yesterday...
Previously on EV Grieve:
Looking at 52E4's commercial space, and that cake no one ate
Boutique on Bowery possibly opening today; new lease signs appear at 52E4

Breaking: Workers clearing out Amato Opera on the Bowery
Last July, CB3 gave its blessing for the owners of the V Bars to open a "bar/restaurant/theater experience" in the former Amato Opera on the Bowery.
However, as DNAinfo recently reported, no work has been done on the space and its remains on the market.
Which is why we're curious about this photo @sandwichboarder sent along of workers clearing out the space this afternoon... Perhaps this is the start of the "theater experience"?

A batmobile, we presume
Oh my. Our friend @Ewingweber sent along these photos taken on East 10th Street just east of Second Avenue just now... Do these shots really require a narrative?
And why is Batman standing on wolves?

Distributing Cornell's plants today
Earlier this month, we passed along the sad news that Cornell Edwards, who opened The Flower Stall at 143 E. 13th St. in 1967, died. We were curious about the fate of his store.
Seems as if we have our our answer today. We'll try to stop by to learn more about the future of the space.

Street fair! Street fair! Street fair!
Ah! Here's something that you may want to avoid at all costs do today. The (A?) Second Avenue Street Fair is happening today, from 14th Street down to, dunno, St. Mark's or so. The Street Fairers were just setting as I walked down the middle of along Second Avenue earlier today.
A temporary road closure on Eighth Street
Earlier in the week, a reader sent along a photo of this "road" closure for Eighth Street...
So I headed that way to see what this was going to be about. Turned out workers were hoisted up something or another to the under-renovation St. Brigid's at Avenue B...
...and then the crew trashed the sign afterwards ... which means the road will be open then after all this weekend...

At Otafuku
Stopedp by Otafuku on East Ninth Street last evening... where the Japanese eatery had suffered an early-morning fire...
...didn't appear to look as bad from the outside as you might expect after a fire ...
And this morning, workers were back at it...
The renovations look more extensive... most of the appliances have been pulled out...
No exact timeline just yet on a reopening date.
