Planterless Plant

I was walking across East 5th Street a few weeks ago, when I saw this empty planter:

Empty planter.

You can see dirt in front of and to the side of the planter, suggesting that someone recently removed something (a plant, perhaps?) from it.

Following the direction of the dirt, I saw this:

Planterless plant.

It was a planterless plant.

Here they are in context:

In context.

Probably some anarchist did it!

Incredible Shrinking Sidewalk Planters

Behold, the incredible shrinking sidewalk planters, outside the beloved Horus Cafe, on East 6th Street and Avenue B:

Incredible shrinking planters.

These are the kinds of things some East Villager might trip over at 4:00 in the morning, on their way home!

When Planters Topple

I was walking down Second Avenue in the days following the snowfall, when I saw this toppled planter outside the beloved Bar Virage, at the corner of East 7th Street:

Toppled planter.

By the looks of it, the screen fell out of the window, hit the planter, and knocked it over.

It looks like it's not just air conditioners you have to dodge!
