On last night's WPIX News At Ten, there was the most amazing lead story. The news team touted it as an "exclusive": The AMC Bay Plaza in the Bronx is infested with rats. When Julinda Lee took her children to see a movie, rats were all over them for their food. In fact, one rat crawled up her 6 year old son's leg and grabbed his snack cake! (The son super-adorably told the reporter, "I said, "Hey! No way!") Lee said one rat sat next to them, waiting for food. The Health Department had cited the theater in the past, though a visit two weeks ago showed no signs of rodents. What was hilarious, in the face of the disgusting aspect, is that WPIX 11 listed the citations and they almost looked like movie titles - "Evidence of Mice" - rated R! You can watch the clip here, if you have Windows Media Player - click on "Rodent Theater."
Other ratty incidents: Rats in the shower, letting your cats catch rats, rat academy, rats uptown, and the book, Rats.

Whenever I go to the village 7 on 11th & third there is always at least one mouse, but they generally mind their own business. I see mice maybe every other time I go to the union square gargantuaplex.
I worked at the Metro Theater on the UWS. We had mice, but never rats. We also had Pinky. She was something fierce. Every morning she left a couple of them by the door of the office in clear view so we knew she did a successful job. Any standard NYC rat would've given her a tough time though, Pinky was still young.
Don't forget the rat Pattrol Flickr Group too!
