Over in the Gothamist Forum yesterday, Larry asked what kind of water restrictions New York has on shower heads. Of course, we all remember the classic Seinfeld episode where Jerry's building puts low-flow heads into the building to the dismay of Jerry, Kramer, and Newman. After doing a little research, Gothamist found an answer for Larry. On the New York City DEP website, there's a handy list of restrictions on water usage in a normal......

Sometimes we just can't get over the cruelty of people. Over in the Gothamist Forum, Lisa, Cecil's foster mom, alerted us to a cat that was found in Greenpoint with some serious injuries. She writes: Cecil is a 5 month-old kitten who was found in Greenpoint. Someone had bound him with a cord or wire so tight that it cut into his neck, opening wounds that became badly infected. He also has other medical......

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. Apparently, bars wishing to show the Euro soccer championships must purchase a special package for broadcast rights. Forum posters recommend checking the lastest issue of Time Out......

What is the best way to get to JFK? We could devote a whole epic on how to get to the other airports, but let's face it; Newark and LaGuardia are steps away by comparison. (You can get to Newark via train from Penn Station, for example, and those of us in upper Manhattan know the blessing that is the M60 bus.) JFK, even in the era of the AirTrain, still seems elusive. Here are......

Showers and clouds all day long. Gothamist Forum on sad music. Morrissey on the cover of Spin and NME. The Guardian on being Morrissey. You are the Quarry drops May 10. Has the Perrier gone straight to my head, or is life plain sick and cruel instead?......

Today we'd like to announce the addition of Tien Mao, known for his little read book, to our growing Gothamist family. Tien, a lifelong New Yorker, will be covering the sports beat, just in time to ring in the March Madness, the new baseball season, and Gothamist's first Little League season. So, welcome Tien. Thanks to everyone for their support. We're thrilled with how The Gothamist Forum has been going and you'll be hearing from......

Today we are launching the beta version of The Gothamist Forum, a bulletin board for the site. If the forum catches on, it will become a permanent feature of the site- until then, you can find a link to it in the center column, right under the interview box. Register for the forum today! What should the forum be used for? Posting comments unrelated to the main posts on Gothamist or the Gothamist Interview, and......

Gothamist has switched to a three column layout. Main content is on the left, with supporting features and content in the middle column. On the right, you can find paid-content, like the personals section, and advertising. We've thought about making this switch for a few months- ever since we introduced the advertising on the site. Nick Denton has written a lot of good stuff about the way advertising will change weblogs and small content sites.......
