  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: an unusual rescue on Decatur St in Queens, a manhole fire on Bushwick Pl in Brooklyn and an overturned school bus on Skillman Ave in Queens.
  • A Queens man was found bound and strangled in his home. The 84-year-old veteran's hands were bound with a coat hanger; police believe the assailant got in through a basement window.
  • The Westchester DA says the promotions manager at the Yonkers Raceway rigged contests for friends and family to win.
  • Rushing to meet the deadline for its condo conversion to remain in effect, Upper West Side building the Apthorp has slashed its apartment prices by as much as 50%.
  • There's not much information about Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor's solo law practice—Sotomayor & Associates—during the 1980s.
  • The Pakistani scientist on trial for shooting GIs in Afghanistan claims she really wants to help President Obama, "I can bring peace. I can absolutely guarantee it."
  • During the off-season, Mets fans wanted Manny Ramirez—would they want him now that he wears the PED scarlet letters?
  • The ME believes that Steve McNair was murdered and that his girlfriend Sahel Kazemi killed him before killing herself, but more ballistics tests are being done.
  • And as mysteriously as Burritoville disappeared into the night last year, at least one location has been resurrected with no apparent changes to the popular chain's menu.

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Burritoville is back!

PLEASE let the Burritovilles come back! I dearly miss my Lost In Austin (mushroom/spinich burrito for the uninitiated). Well, I'm thrilled that the HK location has become a Two Boots Pizza, but there's always room for cheap, delicious, filling, not-out-of-cans food!

The mutual disdain between giraffe and little girl in that photo is palpable.
