Good morning, East Village.

According to the Weather Channel, we can expect a steady mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, which will bring three to six inches of accumulation between now and tomorrow evening. The National Weather service has issued a winter storm warning that will remain in effect until 7 p.m. tomorrow. Meanwhile, The Times reports, a grand jury is still trying to clean up the Sanitation Department slowdown mess from the Dec. 26 blizzard.

The city’s Parks Department is looking for restaurant vendor proposals for the kiosk at the corner of East First Street and First Avenue, according to DNAinfo. Veselka, the Ukrainian restaurant that has occupied the space for the past five years, may be moving out when its contract runs out in June. The Parks Department has said that the ideal eatery will be affordable and will “incorporate ethnically diverse and/or healthy food choices, such as salads, fresh fruit, yogurt, nuts, granola bars, protein bars, bottled water, juices, smoothies, etc.” Bids are due by March 4.
