a thing in 23 photos in 2016 east village showing 2016 only · show all years Recovery day after Grant's 40th birthday party at the Slipper Room. Got me a soft spot for neighborhood RIP flyers. See you around, Jimmy! An auspicious sign to begin a road trip! As we were leaving the East Village, there was a really great rainbow! From an era that is not-so-slowly disappearing. Got an afternoon rainshower, but otherwise perfect party weather! Woke up early on Wednesday to perfect weather and walked over to... Watched a man in a pirate costume pedal by on a recombinant bike that was housed in a painted, cardboard facade of a pirate ship. Lol. Looked out the window to find the paper mache dragon I'd seen my neighbors making in the garden a few days earlier! Looked really great after being painted! Woke up Sunday morning to the sounds of a street parade! Wednesday afternoon jackhammer fuckery afoot outside my office windowwwwwww. Got a serious steam & plunge on at the Russian Baths. ConEd was already on the scene. Woke up early Saturday morning to some kind of crazy explosion sound. Looked out my window and there was smoke pouring out of grates across the street. ...and the annual neighborhood tradition where they re-enact the crucifixion in PARADE form. ...pipe-reinforced full-cab pickup in the hood! Spent a raining Monday at home... New veggie burger place on the block! Snowy Friday morning! By Sunday the snow had finally stopped and people started coming out of their homes again. ...and a ton of snow on the ground! Afternoon rainbow over the EV!
