General Lee

I was walking across East 6th Street recently, when I saw none other than something of a replica of the General Lee, parked outside the beloved Josie's Bar!

Something of a replica.

Looks like those Duke boys have moved to the East Village!

Even More Filming

You may remember from such posts as Filming and Filming, that there's been a lot of filming in the East Village — there's always a lot of filming in the East Village!

Here are more pictures, probably of the same show.

The beloved Village East, on Second Avenue:

No sex please, we're East Village-ish!

The beloved Josie's Bar, on East 6th Street:

She's the pride of the neighborhood.

She prays like a Roman.

Here are some old cars; part of the scenery!

When times get tough, people reminisce!

Filming and Filming

Hot on the heels of filming Jonathan on East 3rd Street, more filmmakers are filming more films in the East Village!

Except this is not a movie, it's a TV show — and it's not called Jonathan, it's called The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel!

The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel sign.

This next picture will come as a surprise to East Villagers, because it's a bar scene being filmed not at the beloved Vazac's!

The bar beneath the black tarp is the beloved Josie's Bar, on East 6th Street, famous for having a statue of a bear in front of it, that you can't see because of the black tarp!

Tarp-hidden bear statue.

But fear not, Vazac's has not been ignored! It's just been rebranded as Milston's Tavern:

Here is a close-up:

And for added effect, they built a subway entrance right outside!

Subway entrance.

In real life, there couldn't be a subway station there — the East Village was built on a swamp!
