Last call for the Motor City Bar today
Previously on EV Grieve:
Reader report: Motor City Bar is closing on Ludlow Street
In time for a Star Spangled 4th of July Christmas!
Well! A tipster passes along this well-maintained Christmas-holiday tree spotted yesterday on Second Avenue and East Sixth Street... with some smartphone proof for Authentication purposes...
... and via OlympiasEpiriot ... the beauty made it through the night...
Looks like this is all legit in our estimation, though it's not ultimately up to us. Gruber MacDougal, spokesperson for the International Coalition of Tree Tossing in the Spring and Summer (ICTTSS), is currently in the transit zone of Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport for unknown reasons.
And thanks to EVG reader Steve for this shot too...
How soon before it rolls into the bus lane?

Cutting back a damaged tree in Tompkins Square Park

Here's what the tree, in the southern section near East Seventh Street, looked like later in the day ... via these photos by EVG contributor peter radley...

A private party in a public Tompkins Square Park
Several residents have told us that part of Tompkins Square Park was closed off this afternoon for a private party of some kind... in an area between East Eighth Street and East Ninth Street along Avenue B... the residents said that they were unaware that a section of a public park could be shut down for some private gathering... the partygoers were flashing permits to people who were put out by what was transpiring ... even the men who are part of the drum circle along here were told that they needed to vacate the area. And, from what we were told, they were quite unhappy about it...
Updated:
One reader said that this event was a birthday party for a chihuahua.
Updated:
Here is information from the Parks & Recreation website with information on requesting a special event permit.
"From the smallest birthday party to the largest concert, special events take place every day in New York City parks. If you want to have any activity in a City park with more than 20 people, or where you would like to reserve a specific area within a park, you need to apply for a special event permit."
At Drag March Madness
The annual Drag March took last evening... and the marchers gathered at Tompkins Square Park for the trek over to the Stonewall Inn... and our friend editrrix shared some of her fantastic photos from the Park...
Find her full set of photos (51!) from last night here.
And be sure to check out Goggla's photos from last night here.
Noted
Spotted this morning on Second Avenue... in front of the Starbucks at East Ninth Street... Someone wrote "Kill him" in chalk with an arrow pointing toward the sidewalk space outside the 13th Step...
Anyone know what this is about?
I can't really think of a headline for this
EVG reader John came across this mini photo shoot this morning on East Sixth Street at Avenue B...
