  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: serious trauma on Greene St, shots fired on St. Marks Pl and an overturned truck on Greenpoint Ave, all in Brooklyn.
  • The number of city schools closed because of swine flu concerns has now risen to 17.
  • The Coney Island "Festival by the Sea" this weekend turned out to be a ghost town.
  • Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney says that Steve Israel dropping out as an opponent to Kirsten Gillibrand (after a call from the president encouraged him to do so) is not deterring her from running.
  • Joe Biden may have leaked where the (in)famous VP secret bunker is.
  • Alan Cumming was ejected from hotspot Momofuku Ssam for, as he tells it, daring to join his friends' pre-existing table.
  • If you weren't sure what the occasion was for the parade you heard marching through Williamsburg Saturday night, apparently it was a rooftop party that did not feel like staying in one place. They recorded video of it of course because that's how these things work.
  • Cream pies in the face aren't the only sign marking which Yankee is the hero of the moment. The team also has a WWE title belt being awarded to the team's player of the game.
  • Carlos Delgado needs hip surgery that will keep him out of the Mets' lineup for the next two months.
  • While being inducted into the Rhode Island Radio Hall of Fame yesterday, Don Pardo announced that he has given his final "Live from New York..." introduction.
  • And the only way the new display in the window of Stella McCartney gets better is if you imagine Wallace Shawn being the voice behind this mannequin attack.

The bunker's location is old news.

Momofuku's sub-par noodles aren't even worth blogging about, Alan.

You are a DOUCHEBAG and clearly you're not telling the whole story.

Oh, and you're wearing CROCs in your picture. Enjoy the short bus growing up?
