  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: a pedestrian struck at Bowery and E 4th St in Manhattan, a hazmat on W 90th St and Central Park West also in Manhattan and an evidence search on Greene Ave in Brooklyn.
  • D'oh! You go to the Auto Show to ogle at vehicles you wish you could own while the one that you actually do ends up getting totaled in the garage you parked it in. Life.
  • A woman who reported a sexual assault in a Hummer limousine Thursday morning claims that the men involved met her overnight in Central Park and ended up drugging her.
  • Mayor Bloomberg doesn't think the United Federation of Teachers' cue card handouts during an Education Department hearing was illegal, "It just doesn't pass the smell test."
  • New York City officials are working hard to prevent the usual undercount of residents in the upcoming census, a result that translates into fewer federal dollars coming to the city.
  • Speculation is that WFAN's Mike Francesa is coming closer to selecting a new co-host after last year's departure of longtime partner, Chris "Mad Dog" Russo.
  • Lil Kim is not running for mayor of Hoboken—just for the Dancing With The Stars title.
  • And be on the lookout for these tweenbots roaming through town that may need to be pointed in the right direction.

A nanny on Long Island was arrested after she hosted an underage drinking party with 20 teens, including a 14-year-old boy who ended up in the hospital as a result.

Bloomberg's circumventing of term limits may turn out to be legal, but it sure doesn't pass the smell test either.

Does anybody have ANY info about the two shootings mapped last night in Harlem on Morningside Ave. (one at 123 and one at 118)? I live right near there and would love to know.
