Whale Spotted off Coney Island!

whale04092.jpg We're getting word that, as of around 5:15 p.m., there was a whale spotted off the coast of Coney Island (near Nortons Point) headed westbound towards the Verrazano Bridge. Last week a humpback whale (perhaps the same whale?) took a similar journey before escaping New York unharmed. We'll update when we find out more about this latest sighting.

Aw, Fudgie, my incorruptible childhood friend. I left you long ago for a swell lifestyle of madelines and biscotti, and I'm none the happier.
