EAST VILLAGE?Befitting a holidayish Monday afternoon, this "bendy crane" has been seen kind of taking it easy on the Bowery near Third Street. Hard work being a crane. [CurbedWire Inbox]
EAST VILLAGE?A reader write from further north in the neighborhood that "It looks to me that one of nicest gardens in the E. Village is set to become a new building! The back yard of the former Miracle Grill on 1st Ave – yard on 7th St. (Also known more recently as Imagine Grill) has been razed and at least twice now there has been a boring machine drilling on the site. It sucked when Miracle closed that location – now it sucks even more as a great backyard bites the dust." [CurbedWire Inbox]
CHELSEA?200 Eleventh Avenue is going to be quite the place. Earlier today we noted that the En-Suite Sky Garage is a go. Now we can say that there will be live entertainment next door. Via an email: "Sapphire, the largest strip club in Las Vegas, is opening it showcase strip club with private rooms upstairs adjacent to the 200 Eleventh Avenue, according to the property developer who says it will be the biggest and nicest 'Gentlemen's Club' in New York City. Who wouldn't want to pay ten million to live near that one?" [CurbedWire Inbox]
