Their awning is down now — only the frame remains.
In happier news: Veniero is still open!

DeRobertis Still Closed
I passed by De Robertis on First Avenue the other day, and saw that they are still closed:
Their awning is down now — only the frame remains.
In happier news: Veniero is still open!

Veniero
I was walking across East 11th Street this morning, when I passed Veniero. The first thing I noticed was that most of the letters in their bottom neon sign were not lit:
Taking a look at the other side, I noticed the same thing:
The three letters at the outer end of the sign are lit, and the others are out. That's either a coincidence, or it has something to do with the way neon lighting works.
I was thinking that they should fix this, but then it occurred to me: Why bother? It's not as if there are any other pasticcerias they're in competition with!
They should fix it though, it still looks better.
Sources tell me Veniero was giving away free pastries today, to celebrate their 120th anniversary (note the 1894 sign, above)! I walked right past, and didn't see any indication of free anything! Bleh. I'll bet it was that white banner, in the second picture, above. Pshaw!
How do you pronounce their name? I've always pronounced this ven-ee-AIR-oh, but I've heard people pronounce it ven-EAR-oh.
You say ven-EAR-oh, I say ven-ee-AIR-oh. Let's call the whole thing off… in the East Village!

| Burned-out neon, and a flag. |

Veniero
I had a whole story ready to tell when I took this picture, all about how people think that the East Village is a bastion of blame-America-first communism, when in fact it's one of the most patriotic neighborhoods in the city. I even took this picture to demonstrate this:
But this photo has even more meaning now, with the announcement today of the closing of DeRobertis, another pasticceria just half a block away, on First Avenue.
Veniero: first, last and always… in the East Village!
