Could it be that spring has finally arrived on the LES? These flowers on an East Broadway stoop say, “Yes!” Look for mostly sunny skies today with highs in the low 70s. In case you missed it, yesterday was a big day for crime news in the neighborhood, with a fatal stabbing on Stanton Street. Today, we’ll have a profile of Melt Bakery, part of our ongoing coverage of the Hester Street Fair and its vendors, as well as a preview of the new Orchard Street hotspot APL opening next week and some news from the Friends of East River Dog Park.
