While out for a neighborhood walk on Juneteenth, I stumbled upon a spectacular find: a gorgeous and very groovy mural has appeared on the wall outside Berlin Under A, one of the East Village’s last remaining live‑music venues. Created by artist Jane Beaird, the visually striking work is a spot-on recreation (complete with the band’s iconic imagery and typography) of the movie poster for Hung Up On A Dream, the recently-released, career-spanning documentary on 60s pop legends The Zombies. Talk about a trip!

Spotted melting down emotionally and physically on the 10th Street side of Gelatoville in the East Village, today’s Pink Thing is a mural of one very nervous-looking scoop of Strawberry Gelato. This poor pastel blob seems to have just realized its fate — and it’s dripping with anxiety. Created by street artist Insomnia (who clearly relates), this frozen treat is serving full-on panic meltdown. I feel you on this.
Visit Gelatoville for a scoop or two at 163 Avenue A at the northwest corner of 10th Street!

Case in point: this week’s Pink Thing of the Day, spotted on Avenue B between East 3rd and 4th Streets. Here we find a once-loved, now forsaken Fuzzy Pink Teddy Bear, perched dramatically atop a pile of black garbage bags like a plush monarch surveying its trash kingdom.
