The Ruffian Arms in Tompkins Square Park




Part of the Alpha Women Attack the LES show today...

A naked Madonna spotted


Argentina 3, Mexico 1



Watching the World Cup on Avenue B near 13th Street.

Part of Avenue A closed due to water main break

As you may have noticed, Avenue A between Ninth Street and 10th Street continues to be closed...



A worker on the scene told me there was a water main break... thanks to the EV Grieve reader for the above photo!

Germany 4, England 1, Avenue C 0

A little while ago after Germany beat England 4-1 in the World Cup... German fans celebrate on Avenue C and Seventh Street after watching the match at Zum Schneider and Alphabet City Lounge....








The cops drove by and paid no mind...

The Shepard Fairey mural is just a hole-y mess now

Last night (or early this morning), more of the Shepard Fairey mural on Houston and the Bowery has been ripped apart...






BoweryBoogie has been keeping tabs on the destruction here as well...

You have "No Chance" of getting into Zum Schneider this morning

That was the word from a Zum Schneider waitress a little bit ago...Hundreds were on hand for England-Germany in the World Cup... Actually, she was nice about it...she told the people waiting outside the already-full Zum to go to another bar so they wouldn't miss the match...




...the line stretched around Avenue C and west on Seventh Street...


Looking for Larry David look-alikes

I was told that the HBO folks were hiring Larry David look-alikes for stand-in duties while filming here... I wanted to find the ad for this...

So I type in "Larry David Look Alikes Wanted in New York" in Google... and, well, this makes sense...



Then I found this! A professional Larry David look-alike for your next corporate event or party, according to the site...



Anyway, never did find the ad for the look-alikes...

Previously on EV Grieve:
East Fourth Street will have to curb their enthusiasm Monday

Noted



The one correction that I can recall the Post running... (Oh, in Classroom Extra on Friday, the Post noted that President Truman lost the election to Dwight D. Eisenhower. Truman didn't run for re-election...What, did a Truman family member call to complain to Col Allan?)

Missing, presumably



Spotted on 11th Street and Avenue A.

8:51 this morning...

and the Tompkins Square Park dog run was empty...




Was just trying to remember the last Saturday morning in which it was empty at this hour...

Meanwhile, the Zip car lot on Second Street was empty too...



(The cars in the background are in a different lot...)

Self-serve tattoos by Ray's

A reader sent along this shot from under the sidewalk shed by Ray's last weekend.... where a young man was giving himself a tattoo on Avenue A....
