A cut above — 'Astor Barber All-Stars' screens tomorrow night at the Anthology Film Archives


There's a screening of the documentary by Karen Gehres, "Astor Barber All-Stars," tomorrow night at the Anthology Film Archives.

Ahead of this, the Post has a feature on the film today … noting many of regulars through the years at the Astor Place Hairstylists, such as Mayor de Blasio and his son Dante.

De Blasio has frequented the Greenwich Village institution for about 30 years, according to John Vezza, one of the shop's co-owners.

"He's been coming since he was in college [at NYU]," Vezza said.

Hizzoner sits in Alberto Amore’s chair and practices his Italian on the Sicily native.

"He loves to speak in Italian. He calls me professor because I only speak in Italian," Amore said with pride. "He reads the paper in Italian. If there's a word he doesn’t understand, he says, ‘What does it mean, this.'"

Check out the trailer ...



The shop has been here since 1939. Jeremiah Moss wrote about it back in April 2012: "it's one of the last places in the East Village that still feels like the East Village. More than that, it still feels like New York City."

Find this, get $2,000

Not sure who these messages are for on East 3rd Street and Avenue C...

At the Mr. Lower East Side Pageant



Reverend Jen's 15th Annual Mr. Lower East Side Pageant took place Friday night at the Cake Shop on Ludlow Street… So much drama! Talent! Man meat! (That means chest and like abs, right?) Slum Goddess has many of the gory details and photos and video right here.



The two photos here are by EVG Facebook friend Walter Wlodarczyk. If you're on Facebook (or not), then you can find a whole lot more of his photos from Friday night here.

Residents continue to show their contempt toward Vermont

These 2 adorable East Village cats need a new home



EVG friend Bayou shares this with us… "Audrey and Francine need a new loving home. They are funny, affectionate and come running for the dinner bell. I know them personally. They are BFF and should stay together."

Also!

"Will be four years old in 2014. Can live with dogs."

The owner, a longtime East Village resident, is really broken up about having to rehome them, but her husband has developed allergies. (No rehoming-the-husband-comments please!)



Here's the owner's email for serious inquiries...

The snow is too damn high

That photogenic 51 Astor Place



A small film crew remains camped out on the southeast corner of Third Avenue and St. Mark's Place… with various cameras pointed toward 51 Astor Place… all I got out of a crew member — they are there to shoot "a time-lapse project."



Noted



This was lying on the sidewalk outside the John Varvatos store on the Bowery this morning… Speaking of CBGB … the CBGB movie came out on DVD/Blu-ray this past Tuesday. Soundtrack aside, I still haven't talked with anyone who liked the film…
