Saturday night is not over until the ‘In the Air Tonight’ mobile makes a dance stop

The NYPD has confirmed that 28-year-old Kavone Horton, who lives a block from the scene, has been charged in the shooting. He remains hospitalized after reportedly being struck by his own ricocheted bullet Saturday night.

The memorial grows for slain deli worker Abdul Saleh, 28, outside Sal’s on 13th & Ave B in the East Village. He was shot & killed during an argument with a customer on Saturday night. Neighbors remember him as someone who 'looked out for absolutely everyone.' 📷 @Joy_of_photos

#OTD in 1968, The Doors play a legendary show at the newly-opened Fillmore East in the #EastVillage. It was both one of the band’s most iconic performances and one of the best at the too-short-lived performance venue, which closed in 1971. More: villagepreservation.org/2014/03/21/the…

@brightbodies @unitof Good question....

@evgrieve @unitof is that legal as far as sidewalk use / set up goes?

Anti-tagging defense goes up outside the future Sephora at St. Mark’s Place and 3rd Ave in the East Village. The signage arrived in February and was quickly tagged… so building management installed barricades to protect the next round. 1st 2 pics by @unitof

Someone swiped the commemorative plaque honoring Jean-Michel Basquiat outside his former Great Jones Street home. @GVSHP says it appears to be another theft in the recent rash of stolen bronze plaques around the neighborhood.

The line tonight for old-timer Panna II, the last restaurant standing at 93 First Ave. in the East Village … a surge in business thanks to a fictional John John and Carolyn B visit in the FX series 'John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.'

Meanwhile, in the adult section of Tompkins Square Park... (2/23/26)

One thing I've always wondered about this movie is whether or not all the other burroughs are still inhabited and just go about their daily business.
