Cool Black Pickup Truck

I was walking across East 4th Street earlier this week, when I saw this cool black pickup truck parked in front of the beloved Don Juan Barbershop:

Cool black pickup truck.

It's not the Cool Old Pickup Truck of yore, but it's a pickup truck, and it's cool!

If you're wondering, it's a Chevy Custom Deluxe 10 — second generation!

It's baseball, hotdogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet… in the East Village Today!

The Barbers

Don Juan is a barber who has operated out of this space on East 4th Street for at least ten years:

Don Juan, the barber.

You may notice the bicycle sculpture from an earlier post!

Recently, Perfection opened around the corner from Don Juan, on Avenue C, between the drug building and the bodega:

Perfection.

Perfection used to be located a block away, near East 3rd Street, but moved out when the building they were in was condemned by the Department of Buildings.

Can two barbers share a corner, without driving each other crazy?!

Bicycle Sculpture Update

Two days ago, I wrote about a cool bicycle sculpture I found on East 4th Street. The last picture I took was of it leaning against a school building. I wanted a better background than dirt, and I also wanted people to see it, so they could take and maybe display it to the public.

Well, yesterday, this is what I saw at Don Juan's Barber Shop, on East 4th Street by Avenue C:

Bicycle sculpture on display.

Don Juan and his friends are all big bicycling enthusiasts — they oftentimes have many bicycles parked in front — so it makes sense that they would hang it like this!

Bicycle sculptures and hair sculptures… in the East Village Today!

Don Juan Mural

You know Chico didn't paint this mural:

Cool mural on East 4th Street.

…because it looks exactly like Don Juan, a barber on East 4th Street, between Avenues C and D. Plus, there's a lot going on in it; Chico's murals are simpler.

Chico is known for the number of tribute murals he paints. Lately, he's been doing tributes to celebrities. This is one he painted of Robin Williams:

Did Robin Williams have green eyes?

He recently painted a tribute to the new Queen of New York City, Taylor Swift! It's outside the East Village though, so I don't have a picture of it.

Sorry Chico!
