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!

Broken Glass

I was walking across East 6th Street this morning, when I saw pieces of a black, plastic garbage bag taped to the window of the beloved Horus Cafe, at Avenue B:

Here is a close-up of the broken glass:

It looks like the hookah-smoking got out of hand last night! Opa!

Exciting Stuff at Horus

Something pretty exciting must have been happening over at the beloved Horus Cafe, on Avenue B and East 6th Street last night. Not only did they have a red carpet down, not only did they have a red-velvet rope, they had a step-and-repeat backdrop:

Red carpet, velvet rope, step-and-repeat backdrop.

East Villagers all know the beloved Horus as the hookah place that doesn't allow smoking!

If it's still there when you pass by, take a selfie — you can tell your friends you were there… in the East Village Today!

No Smoking in the Hookah Bar

If there's anything East Villagers love, it's hookahs, drinks, food, DJs, and belly dancers, in that order!

To satisfy their cravings, they go to the beloved Horus Cafe, on Avenue B and East 6th Street:

The beloved Horus.

There's just one catch:

No smoking.

Puzzling times, indeed… in the East Village Today!

Stalactites Form at Horus

I was walking across East 6th Street today, and I discovered one of the effects of the blizzard, at Horus Cafe, on the corner of Avenue B:

Stalactites.

Stalactites are usually formed of calcium salts deposited by dripping water. It waits to be seen just how much calcium salt is present in these!

Inside the Door to Nowhere

I haven't posted too many "open doors" lately. They still intrigue me, but when you put them into a blog, they begin to all look the same.

Anyway, next to Horus Cafe, on East 6th Street and Avenue B, I saw this open door, which seems to go nowhere:

Door to nowhere.

And in fact, it does!

A stack of doors, inside the door to nowhere.

This room can only be entered through the door shown at top — there is no other means of entry! What is the point of this?!

Just another one of the mysteries of the East Village!

Happy Hour

Thanksgiving is over so quickly!

I saw this this morning, outside of Horus Cafe, on Avenue B and East 6th Street:

Hookahs?

So a bar called Horus has hookahs? Don't they usually disguise this by calling them escorts?
