- Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: "crack in wall of building" in Williamsburg, three alarm fire on West 65th, and an overturned truck on Park Avenue.
- Just what the meatpacking district needs: dirty bingo.
- "A Queens man is suing his ex-girlfriend for $1 million, claiming she just used him to get pregnant before running off with a man who was better endowed." Like that's never happened to you!
- Is Matzoh made in a converted schoolbus Kosher? Probably-- but it certainly isn't legal.
- Speaking of things that might not be Kosher, JTS has decided to start admitting openly gay rabbinical students!
- Cory Lidle's widow wants $1.05m for her husband's accidental airplane death. Only one prob: the policy doesn't cover ballplayers who die in airplane accidents when they're actually piloting the plane.
- The 100ft Madonna of Houston Street now has 20ft boobs! [Via Copyranter]
- Brooke Astor is worth $170m, including $41.2 million worth of real estate and $23.5m worth of stocks.
- The city will begin providing bullet-proof vests to Auxiliary cops-- but they still won't be allowed to carry guns.
And today is the last day to apply for Gothamist's Weekend Editor gig-- "Responsibilities include writing 10 posts per day on Saturday and Sunday and organizing the flow of contributions from other writers. The pay is competitive with blog-writing gigs for other NYC media companies. Requirements: real blogging experience, a serious appetite for NYC-related content, and a genuine love for the city. This job can be done from anywhere within the five boroughs, but you may be called downtown to meet with us once or twice a month. If you're interested, email Jake (at) Gothamist-- no attachments please-- just a short paragraph about you and a few links to relevant work on the web."

I saw the matzo story in the Times this morning; it claimed that the bus/oven is legal.
Additionally, the Times' story should win an award for worst Tom Wolfe reference ever: "From Rabbi, the Eclectic Shul Aid Matzo Test". Now, maybe the title would fit if it was a VW bus...
Crack stored in the wall is rarely usable. I can just see a bunch of area residents frantically looking on the ground... "I think I see a rock!"
I would gladly apply for the weekend editor gig if I was still in New York. If you throw in plane tickets, I'm there!
Otherwise I'm sticking with Torontoist :)
While i think the Lidle's should get something for their loss of Cory, let the truth be known that Cory Lidle, since 1997, has made a total of $17,880,000 (not including endorsements). I can't imagine he has pissed it all away.
They still don't know if he was flying the plane or not (and prob won't know). That's the point. Just sayin'.
