Report: Upright Citizens Brigade booking shows next month at East Village location
An EV Grieve reader sent along a link to a recent post on the Comic's Comic that provides some details on the Upright Citizens Brigade's East Village outpost on Avenue A. Sure has been quiet here of late. Workers even removed all the signs.
But! As Sean L. McCarthy reported:
UCB people told The Comic's Comic ... that they're "getting ready to open" UCB East, and I've already received word from some shows booking gigs there in September. The aim of UCB East is to provide a home for more stand-up and variety shows, thereby allowing the main UCB New York City theater in Chelsea to open up more primetime hours for improv and sketch.
So there's still time for residents to get outraged by something connected to this location.

Let's make this Cornell Edwards Way
Cornell Edwards, who opened The Flower Stall at 143 E. 13th St. in 1967 and ran it for 43 years at this location, passed away last spring. His partner Bill is leading an effort to have East 13th Street between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue designated as Cornell Edwards Way.
You can sign the petition by stopping by the Flower Stall or Stock next door...

More rat baiting stations arrive in Tompkins Square Park
Yesterday, we noted the arrival of a rat-baiitng station in Tompkins Square Park ... right near the playground at Avenue A and Ninth Street... newly appointed EV Grieve TSP Ratstravaganza correspondent Bobby Williams noticed six later in the day...
Meanwhile, no word yet if Ramy Issac will design additional floors for the rat-baiting stations.

New East Village IHOP will employ more than 200 people
On Saturday, we pointed out the newly unveiled exterior of the East Village IHOP on East 14th Street between Third Avenue and Second Avenue ... Meanwhile, Jennifer London, who operates Xoom across the street, met the new manager, who said that IHOP was hiring more than 200 people to start. Quite an operation...
And EV Grieve reader Tom wonders is this exterior will be similar to the Harlem IHOP location...

The Cardinal opens today on East Fourth Street
We've been keeping an eye on The Cardinal, the incoming Southern-style restaurant on East Fourth Street near Avenue B. According to UrbanDaddy (via Grub Street), the place opens today.
As Daniel Maurer at the Local first reported, former Bubby's chef Curtis Brown is behind the bi-level space; that American Apparel CEO Dov Charney is a backer.
And, via UrbanDaddy, here's a look at the menu ...
We're very confident the BBQ will look better than this.

Report: fake real estate agent soaks 2 people for security deposits
From the NYPD Daily Blotter in the Post today:
An East Village real-estate agent turned out to be one big phony, authorities said. Renato Bardini, 48, showed an apartment seeker a place on East Third Street near First Avenue last month, authorities said.
The victim wanted to move in and gave Bardini a $500 security deposit and a $75 “application fee.”
The faux agent also showed the apartment to another victim, who gave him more than $3,000 for rent, deposits and fees.
It’s not clear how the fraudster accessed the apartment. Bardini was charged with third-degree grand larceny, scheming to defraud and petit larceny.

Noting some defensive rat tactics in Tompkins Square Park
A few items to note about the defensive tactics vs. the Tompkins Square Park rat population...
For starters, Park workers yesterday removed the decorative trash can wraps that prompted critter-friendly pile ups...
Before!
Now!
We also noticed the presence of a lone baiting station adjacent to the playground on Avenue A at Ninth Street...
There may be others, but we didn't spot them...
We previously noted the arrival of "feed a pigeon, breed a rat" signs ... Will any of this help head off another Media Ratstravaganza?

Behold your East Village IHOP
Workers have removed the plywood here on 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue... Pretty low-key looking. So far! A quick look inside confirms the interior will be very similar to the one going in Bushwick.
[Thanks to Jennifer at Xoom for the tip!]
