Jake - your top 20 photos of the year are fantastic. Where the hell did you find that many Hasids in one place?
> Some "deranged" goths vandalized a church
at least they weren't deranged gothamists! :) happy new year
The Coliseum story made me wistful for NYC in the 70's... on the first morning of 2007. Made me time-travel a bit. That and the weed...
Deranged goths?
Dontcha mean misunderstood disenfranchised street artists?
I'm very much in accord with Vinny...
And quite shocked by whoever wrote this blotter.
Gothamist, shame on you. You are normally the best source of informed writing. But "Goths?" Someone must have begun celebrating the New Year's celebration early, leading them to believe we were ringing in 1999 and not 2007.
Not even the Post made that leap.
