- A Staten Island woman found her daughter murdered, naked, and stuffed under the mattress when she returned home last night. And the daughter's room was locked.
- The Hard Rock Cafe is moving from West 57th Street to Times Square (Curbed has photos!). Great! More tourists for Times Square! Woo! But, really, when you're a middle schooler in the 80s, going to the Hard Rock and deciding you will collect every Hard Rock shirt from every damn city seems like the epitome of living life and having ambition.

- The public school system's new sex ed curriculum isn't teaching middle schoolers about birth control or sexual orientation, even though kids may already be having sex. Sigh, we hope this doesn't mean the Department of Ed is expecting the Department of Health to pick up the pieces when these kids are older.
- CBGB's doesn't owe back rent, but that doesn't mean the the lease will be renewed. In other words, a stay of execution. Let's face it - if they don't get the lease renewed, the most punk way out would be to detonate it, but we doubt the Bowery Residents Committee would like that much.
- Bring on more nerds: The city will develop a $700 million biotechnology park on the Lower Midtown East Side.
- Who are the worst dressed men in rock, Stereogum wants to know?
- There's nothing quite like being the first on your block to have your $75 Ty Law jersey. Pre-order a jersey now before your team even plays a pre-season game. Bonus round: The Jets have signed their second round draft pick, Justin Miller, so everyone does get to see Law and Miller together!
- And Verbose Coma tips off what the special advance purchase code for the Across the Narrows concert is; hint: It starts with "Play" and ends with "station."
