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

3 East Village residents are at the center of this story. Excellent piece by Samantha Maldonado.

@sheila_sq @unitof Oh, yes. That carrot dressing. I miss Grassroots, too. Search & Destroy is still on the block... and a great bookstore-café called Village Works is at 12 SMP.

@evgrieve @unitof I had no idea what was moving in there! So much has changed there around St Marks I'm still in mourning for Dojos:)

The Sephora sign arrived today at the all-new 1 St. Mark’s Place & 3rd Avenue. Not too long ago along here, you could get 5 shots of anything for $10 (then $12). Sephora pic by @unitof

@Macofamerica @unitof 2 Bros still repping SMP!

@evgrieve @unitof I was greatful to have fun in my college years for continental. Up the block you had central lounge. Few more blocks down we had block heads. 2bros pizza was always in the clutch on st marks pl. what a era from 2009-2017

Two Boots Pizza in the East Village is leaving its longtime corner at Avenue A and 3rd Street after lease talks stalled. Owner Phil Hartman says they’ll stay in the neighborhood, with a new location in the works. The current shop will close at the end of May. 📷 @Joy_of_photos

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

Around the clock again: @veselkanyc’s weekend overnight service is back... as of yesterday. (Only at the original East Village location, 2nd Avenue & 9th Street.) 📷 by @Joy_of_photos

@evgrieve put together a 13hr playlist full of deep cuts & rare gems from the 80s/90s based off the key food location in east village. if you know, you know: evgrieve.com/2026/04/dont-d…

Not only is @evgrieve one of the best local NYC news outlets in the game, they also curated an extremely comprehensive Spotify playlist inspired by the music at the East 4th Key Food. We need more hyperlocal supermarket playlists for the people by the people, not AI generated

Today marked the 11th anniversary of the deadly East Village gas explosion. At the memorial plaque outside 45 E. 7th St., Ola, a co-owner of B&H Dairy a few storefronts away, paid tribute to the two men who died that day — Nicholas Figueroa and Moises Locón. 📷 by Andy Reynolds

#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…

@ChrisRyanAction @2010brianwilson Yes, at the Brant Foundation ... 421 E. 6th St. between Avenues A and 1st

@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
