  • Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: an industrial accident on Nelson St. in Brooklyn, the Banco Popular branch at East Houston between Clinton and Attorney Sts. was robbed, and a home invasion with fatal shooting on 70th St. in Queens.
  • In the spirit of Earth Day, the lights on the Verrazano Bridge are being changed to energy saving compact fluorescents. And Metro-North has announced the completion of its conversion to CF bulbs at Grand Central Terminal.
  • Beyoncé and Jay-Z are definitely married, unless the marriage license they filed in Scarsdale, NY last week was more of a put-on.
  • Everyone's a critic! A dog lifted his leg and peed on Natalie Portman in a Manhattan dog park.
  • A state appeals court upheld the ban on students having cellphones in school.
  • Everyone knows that the Liberty City of Grand Theft Auto IV is a thinly disguised version of NYC. The Bowery Boys take a look at the history of New York in video games.
  • Now that Trump has slipped his tower into the resistant far West Village, developers are ready for an all out rezoning of the neighborhood for an orgy of development.
