Yote piece in Soho by Jake Dobkin
- From the Gothamist Newsmap: Fatal pedestrian struck at Jerome Ave At E 190 St in the Bronx, a DOA floater in the East River and a shooting at Springfield Blvd & Linden Blvd in Queens.
- F-You, London: New York might be getting its own oversized ferris wheel.
- Queens bus driver Jorge Muñoz was nominated for CNN's Hero of the Year award: after work each day he cooks dinner for 125 homeless people.
- Finally, a way for people with iPhones to report problems directly to 311 without having to talk to an operator. Jen Chung is going to use this every single day!
- Washington and Seattle are the new cool cities for young people looking for jobs. New York came in third.
- Workers at an Arizona cryogenics factory did some terrible things to Ted Williams' frozen head. Maybe they were Yankees fans.
- Ex-governor George Pataki's portrait was unveiled in Albany: it looks surprisingly lively.
- Diabolical: Eater is celebrating the launch of their new national food site by offering $25 to any food blogger willing to shut down their site.





I don't think Yankees fans have much against Ted Williams. Not like his team stole any World Series from the Yankees!
COOL, STREET ART!
PLEASE NO FERRIS WHEEL. Singapore has one too. It's the cheesiest thing ever.
We don't need that stuff. Our city is interesting enough without ugly eyesore gimmicks.
There's already one in Toys R' Us. Isn't that enough?
That bus driver is really admirable.
