Why does Apple insist on making their glass-facade stores so glassy? That's what one Long Island grandmother wants to know, after walking into a glass door at the Manhasset Apple Store. Evelyn Paswall, 83, is suing Apple for $1 million and her lawyer says, "Apple wants to be cool and modern and have the type of architecture that would appeal to the tech crowd. But on the other hand, they have to appreciate the danger that this high-tech modern architecture poses to some people." more ›

Yesterday's "explosion" scare was caused by a piece of glass—anywhere from 30 x 30 to 25 x 90— that fell from the 52nd floor of the Galleria on 117 East 57th street. The glass plane hit balconies as it fell and eventually crashed through a glass atrium on the 10th floor. Police say the glass was most likely pushed out by strong winds, but witnesses say the crash was so loud it sounded like an explosion. One passerby told the Post, "I was standing outside and I heard a crash. It was like the loudest thunder I ever heard." more ›

Ah, the East Village, that ever-trendy nightlife destination where visitors from Long Island and beyond flock to stab each other on the weekends. Around 1 a.m. Saturday night at Sutra on First Avenue and First Street, 22-year old Freeport resident Vivian Lee got into a heated argument with her 22-year-old boyfriend, RPI graduate Joshua Clarke. Witnesses tell the Daily News that when Lee caught Clarke flirting with another dame, she smashed a pint glass over his head and then stabbed him in the neck with the broken shards! Acting quickly, a bouncer applied pressure to Clarke's gushing wound while another employee subdued his jealous girlfriend. Clarke was rushed to Bellevue and is expected to recover, while Lee was taken to jail. But Clarke's mother was later sighted at the Ninth Precinct, and told reporters her son was "not going to press charges. She's going to be my daughter-in-law." more ›

From the building where the annual New Year's Eve ball drop takes place, 1 Times Square, it's being reported that "A WINDOW HAS FALLEN FROM A 10TH FLOOR WINDOW.
