Trash throughout the city wasn't being picked up while the trucks plowed snow.

E 12 St & 3 Ave                    East Village

There could be another reason to use this stop other than its proximity to Trader Joe's. Like scoring from Bernie Goetz in Union Square.

Petrosino Square is a funky little place. We frequent the stop to visit Henley's Vaporium.

A side note, but this is getting irritating. This is just the fourth station we've posted and at two of them -- this one and Broadway & Battery Pl -- the station signs don't match the website names.

So the grand New York tradition continues, making our streets a confusing mishmash of names and directions. Where else in the world can you say, "Meet me at the corner of West Fourth and West Tenth"?

Nearest bike lanes

Northbound: Chrystie St.
Eastbound: Grand St.
Westbound: Prince St.
Southbound: Lafayette St is right there.

Stuff I wouldn't have seen without CitiBike

The park across the street is worth exploring. At the far end is a monument to an early 20th-century mayor and behind him floats the most wonderful breast ever cast in bronze.
