Another St. Marks Place icon may have bitten the dust with word that DJ Lenny's Music Stand being shut down by the NYPD. The small stand has sat for over a dozen years on the corner of St. Marks Place and Third Avenue in between former punk club/cheap shots bar The Continental and what is now the restaurant Tahini, selling color-coded mixtapes and bumping hip-hop out onto the street throughout the night. Down by the Hipster reports that "several plain clothes officers confiscating all of Lenny's music and just about everything else from his small booth."
