Today in worrying about the Mars Bar
Well, it's that end-of-the-month time... and I'm hearing the same rumors as last month regarding the Mars Bar's future. One rumor: No one has placed a beer order for the weekend... Another rumor has the bar on a month-to-month lease...
Adding to some hysteria... several readers spotted workers alongside the bar yesterday...
In the morning, Georgia Lillie took this shot...
...And later in the day...
EV Grieve contributor Bobby Williams was on the scene. A worker said that they were testing soil samples to monitor the water level.
We've been trying to figure this out ourselves ... if we can remember the formula ... the volume of water and VT = Vs + Vv = Vs + Vw + Va is the total volume (that is soil volume + water volume + air space)...
Will get back to you on that... Meanwhile, go have a drink while you can.

City issues new work permit for 35 Cooper Square
Back on Feb. 15, Runnin' Scared reported that the city issued Stop-Work Orders on 35 Cooper Square... The notices cited the site's failure to "safeguard public and property affected by construction operations." They needed a fence.
So it was really just a matter of getting the correct permits... and yesterday, the DOB issued the necessary permit...
Previously on EV Grieve:
35 Cooper Square, 'this much-beloved little building,' dies at age 186

Orologio serving its last meal with Sunday brunch
Last night, a reader passed along word that Orologio will serve its last meal with its Sunday brunch.
Meanwhile, a commenter had previously listed some of The Beagle's offerings:
Appetizers:
Braised and Pressed Pig Head - $16
Bacon Wrapped Rabbit Loin - $18
Roasted bone Marrow w/foie gras - $18
Entrees:
Pan Roasted Squab - $27
Braised Lamb Neck - $25
Anyway, the reader mentioned how many lovely meals that he and his wife shared at Orologio through the years. "Goodbye to affordable restaurant romance!"
And say goodbye to Chico's clock's mural...
The latest worse thing to happen to Cooper Square in the last few minutes
As Eater put it the other day: "A new restaurant is opening at the Cooper Square Hotel [today]. And what better way to announce said restaurant than the terrifying graphic of a giant old hand dangling an ominous pocket watch?"
The place is called The Trilby. And from all we've seen and heard about the place, it sounds like a major toolville.
Exhibit No. 2:
As usual, UrbanDaddy spreads the smarmalade on a little too thick:
Oh boy. This should provide a whole new installment of Notes from the Backside.
Oh, and the arrival of the Shrillby explains this.

Exhibit No. 2:
As usual, UrbanDaddy spreads the smarmalade on a little too thick:
You’ll want to incorporate this spot as a before, after or in-between option for when you find yourself turned around in the Bowery. A place where you’ll order up the namesake cocktail (scotch, sweet vermouth and Parfait d’Amour), pair it with some Mini Short Rib Sandwiches and make yourself at home on a broken-in vintage couch for a few hours.
And as one might expect from a room of predominantly reclaimed wood, it’ll expand in the summer. The banquettes, settees and even boozy pots of mussels will all be moved outside into the garden.
Oh boy. This should provide a whole new installment of Notes from the Backside.
Oh, and the arrival of the Shrillby explains this.

A public hanging for Misha Nicole on the Bowery
The sign went up yesterday for the Misha Nicole store opening this spring or something at 303 Bowery... a few doors up from DBGB. (Hope shoppers will be able to enter the store once the DBGB sidewalk cafe reopens!)
Misha Nicole people have been running a pop-up shop around the corner on Extra Place ... And, well, I've never heard of Misha Nicole, so I looked them up on Racked: "Misha Nicole's goal is to introduce cutting-edge Indian labels to New Yorkers."
On Avenue C, two new delis, and two bright new signs
The Yankee Two Deli opened this week on Avenue C near Eighth Street... Yankee 1 is up a few blocks at 11th Street... (More here.)
And workers just put up the new Wholesome Foods sign on the southwest corner of Avenue C and Seventh Street... (More here...)
The deli at the Associated at Eighth Street had better step it up or they'll lose the officers and staff from Police Service Area 4 across the street...

Lady Gaga ads bring touch of class to burned-out deli on Second Avenue
Yesterday, BoweryBoogie noted the arrival of the Lady Gaga Supreme ads on the Bowery and other parts of the Lower East Side...
I noticed a few hundred myself around.... like on the plywood at Second Avenue and East Fourth Street... home of East Village Farm & Grocery, which suffered a major fire at the start of the year...
Meanwhile, does anyone know what's happening to this space? I've seen some work done on the apartment building... doesn't seem as if anyone is living here again ... Bobby Williams took this shot the other week in front of 69 Second Avenue.

Earlier today on Avenue A
Just after 5 p.m., there was a brief skirmish between two Avenue A regulars ... in front of Cafetasia near Fifth Street...
EV Grieve contributor Bobby Williams, who took these photos, noted that the winner of this fight reluctantly fled toward Tompkins Square Park.
