Atop Cellar Doors

It's hard to image carrying a cup of coffee outside and sitting on a backless, plastic stool on top of rickety cellar doors, but that's only one of the amenities available to East Villagers at the beloved Southern Cross Coffee, on East 5th Street:

Backless, plastic stools.

Not to be outdone, the beloved So-Hair, just down the block, offers wooden chairs atop their own cellar doors, for customers awaiting haircuts:

Backful and wooden.

Cellar doors — the official doors of the East Village!
