How about some more gelato for Second Avenue?

Jeremiah and I have both been watching the former Estroff Pharmacy space on Second Avenue between St. Mark's Place and East Ninth Street ... As he noted about the "cryptic symbol" in the front window of the incoming business... "Fro-yo? Mashed potatoes?" ... (And cause for an anxiety dream) ...

[Via JVNY]

Workers on the scene this morning are putting in the new signage and front window, etc. Any guesses?


It will be a gelato shop/cafe.

Gelato? Aren't you thinking that a new gelato shop just opened on Second Avenue? Yes, down just south of East Fourth Street...


Meanwhile, around the corner on St. Mark's Place...


The shell of the former Timi's Gelateria Classica™ — "a gelato franchise for the 21st century, with true Italian artisanal gelato made fresh daily" — sits empty since closing late last year.

Canvassing Tompkins Square Park

Workers started hanging the canvas for Art Around the Park a little after 8 this morning...


...and workers were still at it around 10...


Seems as if there's more canvas up this year too. Anyway, all par of the Howl! Festival.

In case you were going to hang out in a cemetery today

The rain (or threat of rain!) has KO'd the first Open Day of the summer at the New York City Marble Cemetery on East Second Street... they will be welcoming visitors tomorrow...
