I smiled for the camera, and then took my picture — I mean this picture, not a selfie!
I wonder if this camera is for a local blog? Maybe I'll be on it!

Smile, You're on Camera
I was walking down East 10th Street this past Saturday, when I passed by this sign on wall of a building:
I smiled for the camera, and then took my picture — I mean this picture, not a selfie!
I wonder if this camera is for a local blog? Maybe I'll be on it!

On Location With Younger
Avenue B between East 6th and 7th Streets is probably the most popular block in all the East Village for movie and TV-show filming!
Here are new signs that were put up outside the beloved Anwar Grocery recently, announcing the filming of something going by the project name of Younger:
I was spoiled by my amazing video of the filming of Netflix's "Jessica Jones (a.k.a. "A.K.A. Jessica Jones") back in July, so unless they announce there's going to be something exciting, the way they did before:
…I won't make the effort to be there. If they're shooting when I pass by, and I have my camera, I'll check it out. Otherwise, not.
Spoiled by success… in the East Villager Today!

Headless Pigeon
I was standing around on St. Mark's Place, having just shot five minutes and twenty-four seconds of activity, when I happened to look up and saw this:
I don't think it's a totem, I think the body just doesn't realize its head's gone yet!
Keeping up appearances… in the East Village Today!

Too Much Too Soon
East Villagers love Halloween! It's the start of the holiday season that doesn't end until New Year's!
And while it's probably true that it's never too soon to start decorating, people should remember that perishable decorations should be used sparingly until, oh, about October 24!
Witness the result of… too much, too soon:
Then again, these prematurely-decayed pumpkins were on St. Mark's Place — they could be an art project!
When life gives you pumpkins, make a sculpture — in the East Village Today!

The Interview
I was walking across East 10th Street this past Saturday, when I passed by this setup, where the two on the left were interviewing the one on the right:
He said something like: "If you want to know what I think about this burger, you're going to have to wait." Something like that, or maybe nothing like that — I didn't write it down!
I wonder if he's famous? It wouldn't be the first time a famous person was highlighted… in the East Village Today!

Immortalized on The Mosaic Trail
I was walking along St. Mark's Place this past Saturday, when I saw something that caused me to stop dead in my tracks:
East Village Today is honored — honored! — to be honored on the Mosaic Trail! And what better location (at the corner of Second Avenue) than the one I've spent so much time trying to improve!
It's gratifying to know that… East Villagers love East Village Today!

25th Annual Halloween Dog Parade
It seems like only yesterday that the 24th Annual Halloween Dog Parade took place in Tompkins Square Park, and here we are only five short days away from the 25th Annual Halloween Dog Parade:
The dog parade is probably the single-most popular event in the East Village social calendar! I think it's safe to say that not one sane person dislikes the dog parade (which means probably 5,000 East Villagers don't!).
Be that as it may, the sane ones among us will all be there to cheer the dogs on to victory!
Go, Dogs, Go… in the East Village Today!

The Procession
It will probably come as no surprise that the East Village is one of the most religious neighborhood in New York City! It's all God and Country here!
I was walking across East 6th Street this past Saturday, and as I approached Avenue C, I saw at the corner a group of people, some holding signs, with a police car beside them.
"What's this?" I thought. "A Black Lives Matter protest? Workers on strike?"
But it was neither of these — it was a religious procession! I'm not sure what the occasion was, but East Villagers don't need a special occasion to… well, the video speaks for itself:
I'll bet that ending surprised you, didn't it? It surprised me!
East Villagers love surprise endings!

Music & Paint
Early in the afternoon this past Saturday, I was walking across East Houston Street. As I approached Second Avenue, I saw this an art gathering!
Behold:
This fenced-in area is called First Street Green Cultural Park (that's a mouthful!). When I try to connect to their website from work, I get this:
So be careful — music and paint offer no protection from malicious websites… in the East Village Today!

Five Minutes on St. Mark's Place
St. Mark's Place is known around the world as the epicenter of the East Village — it is the ground-zero of coolness!
Recently, the beloved CD store Sounds closed for good. Or for bad, but definitely forever. Their stairs are now free for all to sit on and watch shoppers make their way up and down the street.
Here is a video of five minutes and twenty-four seconds on St. Mark's Place, complete with soundtrack:
Saint Mark, evangelist and martyr, and patron saint of coolness… in the East Village Today!
