  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: A high-angle rescue at 23rd Ave & Bay Club Dr in Queens, a large protest at 42nd St & 12th Ave in Manhattan and a missing child at Reade Ave & Bainbridge St in Brooklyn.
  • Quick, make a dash for the Apple store if you want to catch the cast of Spring Awakening perform with their new lead, Hunter Parrish. The Weeds star debuts on the 18th and The Observer reports Parrish groupies (Parrishioners?) were already circling the store earlier today.
  • An ex-cop accused of helping John Gotti Jr. with a mob hit told the Post, "I got nothin' to say to you."
  • It took around 65 minutes to get shore-to-shore today for some traveling via ferry to the All Points West festival.
  • Ephemeral New York looks at a circa-1970s Manhattan dating service which used “comprehensive psychological testing, professional counseling, and high-speed computer matching” to help “single, divorced, and widowed men and women” find true love. Sounds very sci-fi, or Scientology.
  • City Comptroller William Thompson is making it easier for residents to sue the city over property damages from last year's flooding.
  • Maybe this giant buzzard in Brooklyn will help scare away some rats.
  • Is it time for schadenfreude when there are more stories about ritzy East Hampton having a $12 million deficit?
