The Kicker

I was walking up Broadway last week, just north of Union Square, away from the East Village. The guy in the white t-shirt and black shorts, below, was crossing the street. A car was already in the crosswalk, having turned left (going eastward).

This guy kicked the passenger-side door!

Circumstances allowed me to pass him, so I took another picture:

East Villagers love easy targets!

Gateway to the East Village

While this is technically outside of the East Village, it qualifies for an East Village Today mention:

Welcome to the East Village.

This statue stands at the gateway to the East Village, on Broadway at East 14th Street. Broadway is the main artery into the East Village from the west side. The west side of the East Village, that is!

The name of this statue is "Think Big".

Think big. That should be the East Village motto!
