RIP Ziggy
A few weeks ago, several readers reported seeing a small dog that had been hit by a vehicle on 14th Street.

Marking the 20th-anniversary of the missing heads
From the April 2, 1991 New York Times:
Here's a screengrab of an AP story on the matter:
Whoever it was who stole a box from Dr. William Portnoy's car in the East Village before dawn yesterday got a nasty surprise.
Six parts of human heads, some with recognizable facial features, were in a cardboard box stolen from the car's trunk and then left in a gutter at St. Mark's Place and Second Avenue.
A cabdriver, Gheorghe Casas, saw a crowd around the box and stopped to see what the fuss was about. He turned the box over to the police.
Here's a screengrab of an AP story on the matter:

Non-shockers: More bars in 10003 Zip Code than anywhere else in NYC
From the Post today, in a piece titled Booze 'n the hood: E. Village tops tipsy ZIP-code liquor list:
A Post analysis of state liquor licenses by ZIP code has zeroed in on the booziest blocks, with the East Village's 10003 rising to the top of the suds-soaked list.
There were 474 bars, restaurants and corner stores licensed to sell hooch in the hood, beating out Times Square and Hell's Kitchen.
Those who live in the city's cocktail capital have increasingly had enough of the day-to-night debauchery.
"It's like a red-light district," said Andrew Coamey, 44, a CFO who lives in the East Village. "It's honking cabs all night. It's like a bad, disturbing dream."
Jeremy makes a good point in the comments... not really fair to call 10003 "the East Village."
That's some rough

City tossing longtime Astor Place newspaper vendor
A beloved newsstand vendor who has presided over Manhattan's Cooper Square for 24 years is getting tossed out like yesterday's papers.
The city is booting Jerry Delakas, 62, from a kiosk on Astor Place and Lafayette St. because he's not the legal license holder.
That decision contradicts the dying wish of the woman who held the license, happily allowed him to operate the stand and designated him as heir.

April 1
EV Grieve reader Mike sent along this shot from First Avenue between Second and Third streets from late yesterday.
Once again, the shot lacks a newspaper cover for authentication purposes. However, the International Coalition of Tree Tossing in the Spring (ICTTS) will allow this tree to enter this year's competition. Why? According to one ICTTS official: "It's clear that this photo was taken from the street in either a fast-moving vehicle or on foot. Either way, we salute this bravery."
