  • From the Gothamist Newsmap: A car vs. building on Kings Highway in Brooklyn, a water main break on St Marks Pl on Staten Island, and a home invasion robbery/shooting on 223rd St in Queens.
  • If it's Thanksgiving, then there will be deep-fried turkey fire incidents.
  • Barneys security caught a thief who attempted to hide two suits (one Gucci, one Alexander McQueens) inside his pants.
  • Two of many Citymeals-on-Wheels volunteers, actress Kathleen Turner and her daughter helped prepare and deliver Thanksgiving meals to the needy in East Harlem.
  • A woman who allegedly killed an 11-year-old in a hit-and-run turned herself in and had her bail set at $250,000. Newsday says the suspect "had just finished a court-ordered driver safety course and had a suspended license."
  • Because apple prices have fallen, NY apple farmers say they are leaving imperfect apples on trees because it's cheaper than picking them and juicing them.
  • And on Thanksgiving, slightly more people went to see the inspirational/"Precious for white people" football movie The Blind Side over Twilight.

    Uh, Jen? The two turkey fire stories cover the same fire. Manufacturers should include a DVD of the Good Eats episode about deep fried turkey safety ("Fry, Turkey, Fry") with every fryer.

    As much as I agree, I hope too many people won't heed turkey safety advice. Those stories are the best part of waking up after Thanksgiving.

  • nicemarmot

    100% agreed. I just wish there was more video.

  • D'oh, thanks!

    If there were two links to the same story as the above comment hints, and you removed one... you removed the wrong one. Why link to Newsday's subscription-only articles when few of your readers can read them?

  • Mr Mel

    Another hit and run by a serial violator. Licenses should be taken away, not suspended after a 2nd or 3rd incident.
