Hot Kitchen now open on Second Avenue
Hot Kitchen opened Thursday at 104 Second Ave. near Sixth Street. (The owners received the OK from the CB3/SLA in August to serve beer and wine with their Chinese cuisine...)
It seems like a nice, normal restaurant...
Nothing artisanal featuring tea seed oil from a grove of Camellia oleifera trees brought in daily from the southern Zhejiang province, the seeds of which are hand-pressed in the back room ... Uh, anyway, the food is pretty tasty — we got a few vegetable and rice dishes ... and there are more adventurous dishes on the menu, like "dry sauteed pig intestine with red chili" ($14) or "steamed fish head with minced pickle pepper" ($21).
Here is a quick look at part of the menu...
...delivery service starts next week ... so until then...
Chickpea reopens today on East 14th Street
At least according to the workers inside the location here near Third Avenue ... seems as if this place has been closed for renovations for, well, a really long time...Maybe March?
Exclusive first look inside the new Capital One bank branch at 123 Third Ave.
...and,lets take a look inside! Where the branch will feature... free coffee!
... and part of Bloomberg's bike-share program? You can ride from teller to teller?

Today in passive-aggressive notes on East Fourth Street
We watched the woman place this on the door of 234 E. Fourth St. between Avenue A and Avenue B (Madonna's old building!) earlier this evening ... "To the guys that applauded my parking job (you live on the top floor). Thank you! It totally made my day — I had a really long day at work!"
Air conditioner falls out of window on Second Avenue
Around 1 p.m., we were walking south down Second Avenue, thinking about how many women wear football jerseys on Sundays when.... we heard a commotion! It sounded like an accident. Then we saw what had happened. An air conditioner fell out of a window from an apartment above the Moonstruck Diner at Fifth Street...
Thankfully, it landed on the Moonstruck awning...
Based on eyewitness accounts, we think this is what happened. Unscientifically...
This happened just one block to the north ... and almost one year to the date of another AC accident, though that one was far more serious.

Video shows NYPD using pepper spray during 'Occupy Wall Street' march
As you may have read, the NYPD arrested nearly 80 people near Union Square yesterday in the “Occupy Wall Street” march.
This video that someone sent us shows NYPD officers shooting pepper spray and tackling people participating in the march on 12th Street near University Place.
According to WCBS, "The NYPD, on the record, called every arrest justified." Gothamist has more here.
Here's another frame-by-frame video showing the NYPD using the pepper spray on women behind a barricade on 12th Street...
Bob Arihood has a video with one of the women who was spray right here.

Remembering Keba Brown on Avenue D
On Sept. 13, 22-year-old Makever “Keba” Brown was struck and killed on the FDR during a police pursuit, as DNAinfo reported.
There is a makeshift memorial for him in front of the Jacob Riis Houses building where he lived at 90 Avenue D. Friends and loved ones are also leaving messages outside Rite Aid near Seventh Street...
As Patrick Hedlund at DNAinfo reported, his death has sparked tension between some in the public housing community and the NYPD, with incidents of tenants of the Riis and Lillian Wald houses "hurling items at cops out of their windows."
Per DNAinfo:
A viewing was held yesterday at the Ortiz Funeral Home on First Avenue. Brown leaves behind three sons, ages 7, 6 and 3, according to DNAinfo.

Per DNAinfo:
Brown was approached by police late on Sept. 13, after he was observed making a hand-to-hand drug transaction in the complex, an NYPD spokesman said. Brown took off running toward the FDR Drive at East Sixth Street with police in pursuit, but cops said they lost him before he bolted across the highway’s southbound lane and was struck and killed by a livery cab in the northbound lane about 10:48 p.m.
A viewing was held yesterday at the Ortiz Funeral Home on First Avenue. Brown leaves behind three sons, ages 7, 6 and 3, according to DNAinfo.

Downed tree on East Sixth Street near Avenue A
With all the rain that we've had going back to Irene, the ground is awfully soft... which likely led to this uprooted tree overnight on East Sixth Street near Avenue B...

Here's a photo this morning via @AraRoden ... Sixth Street, as you might imagine, is currently closed along here...
