  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: A home invasion robbery at Ryder Ave & Mcdonald Ave in Brooklyn, a perp search at Tompkins Ave in Staten Island and a traffic alert at FDR Dr & E 96 St in Manhattan.
  • The city is increasing indoor bicycle parking for municipal employees.
  • After a Banana Republic saleswoman laughed at a customer who asked her out, he made numerous harassing phone calls to her--including asking to lick her toes. He was arrested.
  • Real estate brokers are now eying doctors to buy expensive properties, because their incomes are "recession-proof." It's unclear if they are malpractice-proof, too.
  • LushLife marveled at the $5 plate of Sam Mason's miso butterscotch glazed pork belly and other dishes from the Finger on the Pulse event last night.
  • The streets now have "imposter waffle trucks."
  • And the dangerous world of window washers. The widow of the window washer who died on Tuesday said, “People don’t realize that being married to a window cleaner is very much like being married to a fireman or a policeman."
