EAST VILLAGE?We don't usually run photos from ceremonial groundbreakings, but they're rarely this adorable! Today the Lower East Side Girls Club kicked off its 12-story clubhouse/apartment building on Avenue D in a ceremony complete with plastic pink construction helmets and an appearance by actress Rosario Dawson. Is it possible to look at this photo and not think, "Yay!!!!!" It is not. [CurbedWire Inbox]
