Things that go clunk-clunk, CLUNK! in the night (and day) on East Sixth Street
Here are some signs on apartment buildings along Sixth Street between First Avenue and Second Avenue...
The signs provide a detailed report of the situation ...
... a "noisy manhole cover."
"[A]s the weather has changed, the gasket seal that's supposed to prevent movement of the manhole cover has disintegrated, and now the noise problem has grown completely deafening. If you live in an apartment facing the street, and live at or near 335 East 6th Street, you are likely being driven crazy by the sound of the rattling manhole cover."
And here's what you can do about it...

A yellow brick ad returns
And on St. Mark's Place at Avenue A, the return of hand-painted ads... this time for Umbro, the longtime English sportswear company owned by Nike...
[Photo by Bobby Williams]
Umbro has been around since 1924 ... and their name is now part of the local vernacular, as in, "Um, bro — get me a shot and a Coors Light!"
Anyway! A quick look at other recent ads on this corner...
May 2009!

34 Avenue A is for sale
Own a piece of East Village History!! Originally home to the famous live music venue Mo Pitkins, this is a rare opportunity for a user or investor to acquire a unique mixed use 4 story walk up building in the heart of the East Village. The property is newly renovated and has a vacant ground and 2nd floor retail space with full basement. The ground floor is built out as a restaurant with full kitchen and appliances and storage in the usable basement. The 2nd floor was previously duplexed with the first floor and has a large open space with a bar and private lounge area. The 3rd floor (currently leased mo mo) is a floor through 1425 sqft live/work space with exposed brick, high ceilings and newly renovated kitchen and large floor to ceilings windows. This unit could also be transformed into a 2 bed 1.5 bath apartment. The top floor is a duplex penthouse with 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, brand new kitchen and 2 very large private outdoor spaces. This is a Unique Building loaded with charm and character including exposed brick, high original tin ceilings, large windows, multi levels and large lofty spaces throughout.
Price: $4.65 million.
CB3 has rejected recent plans — including a group featuring Phil Hartman of Two Boots — to turn this space back into a performance venue after its turn as Aces & Eights.
As the Observer reported in November 2008, 34 Avenue A was sold to an entity called LAMNG Corporation for $4 million. The building had been on the market for more than a year, with an initial listing price of $5.5 million.
On May 16, an unknown group will make another pitch for the space before the CB3/SLA committee.
Neither More Nor Less returns
To no surprise, 35 Cooper Square will be torn down
On Friday afternoon, we posted photos of the new scaffolding at 35 Cooper Square. EV Grieve correspondent Bobby Williams was also on the scene. Bobby tried to ask one of the crew members what they were doing. The worker's reaction was all we needed to hear about what would be happening next: "It ain't me."
In a nonshocker, crews will soon begin tearing down the 186-year-old building. Both Jeremiah and the Local East Village posted the letter from developer Arun Bhatia (via an attorney) to council member Rosie Mendez about his final decision on the fate of the historic building:
Meanwhile, the developer will be making a financial contribution to the Landmarks Conservancy to help document the histories of Federal buildings such as 35 Cooper Square for which "creation of an historic record is all that can be done," as Jeremiah reported.
Let the condo/hotel/dorm building begin!

"Unfortunately, it was concluded that it would not be feasible to develop the site with the building or any significant portion of it remaining."

Costume drama on the Bowery as the Amato Opera empties out
On Saturday, workers began clearing out what remains inside the now-closed Amato Opera on the Bowery. (Read our post from Saturday here.)
Meanwhile, Michael Maren was on hand to document the stage props that were coming and going...
See more photos on his Tumblr — he even went inside...
Tony and Sally Amato, pictured here, opened the opera house in 1948. The Amato Opera closed in May 2009.

A Royal corner of the East Village
During the weekend, Chico worked on a new Kate-William mural on Houston at Avenue B. (See our pictures from Saturday here.)
Chico was finishing up the mural yesterday afternoon...
[Top photo by Bobby Williams]
As BoweryBoogie noted in his coverage yesterday, Harlem-based liquor depot Branson B. Champagne is sponsoring the mural, which will only be up for three weeks.
The new murals replaces the Loisaidas album art...
...which at least one person took issue with...
Fourteen years earlier, Chico memorialized William's mother here on the same corner...
...art that was eventually vandalized...

An end of an era at Pyramid — so long 1984!
Per WNYC:
It's the last night of 1984 in the East Village.
For 18 years, fans of '80s music have flocked to the storied Pyramid Club on Avenue A nearly every Friday to enjoy songs by artists from the Smiths to Cyndi Lauper spun by the party's promoter and D.J. Chip Duckett.
But now Duckett said he is pulling the plug on the party and moving on to other projects.
"Honestly, it's just time for me to move on to something different," Duckett said. "1984 has lasted almost twice as long as the '80s lasted. People who can drink legally now were three-years old when this party started."
And now, something obvious...
On its 1-year anniversary, the Horsebox thanks neighbors by throwing a toga party
