Stormy Weather As we were away from televisions most of Wednesday, we can’t give a blow by blow account of the storm coverage. However, we can give you a brief summary of some of the major things. CBS’ “The Early Show" faced a deluge in their Fifth Avenue studios, forcing them to retreat to the CBS Broadcast Center across town on 57th Street only forty minutes before the broadcast. After a frantic scramble, the......

Professional golf is coming to Manhattan. Of course, it's on Governor's Island, only 9 holes, and it's a pro-am tournament which will feature professional women and Hollywood actors. The tournament, dubbed The Manhattan Golf Classic and scheduled for October 22nd, will be on the only golf course in all of Manhattan. Scenes from the tournament will surely be beautiful.

Thanks to rain in Chicago, most probably went to sleep before the game’s end. Doug......

The three channels - MSG Network, Fox Sports NY, and Metro Channels - were pulled because of a disagreement over the rights fees Time Warner would pay Cablevision for the programming.

Last night, after two rain-delays, where Mr. Met was surely dancing around with his slickers, the Mets finally played the Astros at Shea Stadium. Despite the delay, Matt Ginter, who was filling in for Tom Glavine, pitched 6 strong innings, giving up only 2 runs in his outing. The Mets finally tied it in the 4th inning, and the teams exchanged runs in the 7th to remain tied until the 10th inning. The game finished......

Any suggestions for a good place in Brooklyn (preferable) or Manhattan to watch the last match of the European soccer championships on the 4th of July? Thanks, Belle According to the good folks who post in the Gothamist Forum, your options may be limited to Manhattan or Queens.
