New Yorkers have never shown a shortage of opinions on either tourists or cyclists, which is why an attack near Central Park on Thursday night has us confused as to whose side we're on. In the red corner we have Tamara Farra, a 45-year-old tourist from Los Angeles who was meandering down East 74th Street with her friend from New Jersey. In the blue corner, we have Carl Goodman, the 25-year-old cyclist with a "long rap sheet" who began circling Farra, spitting at her and grabbing at her throat. While Goodman sounds completely nuts, Farra did have the audacity to be from Los Angeles. Surprisingly, the good guy seems to be the one motorist in the story. more ›

Restaurateurs the Cipriani family are no strangers to running on the wrong side of the law and now it appears that their next generation is ready to step in and carry on their troublesome traditions. 20-year-old Ignazio Cipriani and a friend were arrested for third-degree assault after sucker-punching a limo driver outside of Chelsea nightclub 1Oak. The young Cipriani had been drunkenly raising a ruckus when he was denied admission and soon decided to target the driver. After hitting the ground once he got clocked, the chauffer tells the Post, "My head was part way under a car, and I opened one eye and saw two guys kicking me." A lawyer for Cipriani told the press, "This is nothing more than a group of young people pushing and shoving in front of a nightclub. We don't see a crime here at all." The 10ak was last in the news over the summer for tossing unwanteds from the club—specifically employees who claimed they were fired because the owner "only wanted white girls working there." more ›

A day after his former limo driver filed a head-turning sexual harassment suit and made allegations that he was insulted with racial slurs, a lawyer for Knicks center Eddy Curry says he is is considering a defamation suit in response. Curry told the Chicago Tribune, "He calls me racist and my best friend on the planet is white. He calls me an anti-Semite and my agent is Jewish. I really don't understand how anybody could look at this and think it's remotely true." In today's Times, Knicks teammates rush to defend Curry, calling the allegations, "the complete opposite of his character" and former Coach Isiah Thomas's assessment that he's "a nice man." But Deadspin calls Curry "dodgy" in avoiding the homosexual accusations thrown at him, suggesting he might have "sexual identity issues." In a case of strange timing, the day that the suit was revealed happened to coincide with USA airing the repeat of the Law & Order: SVU episode "Lowdown," where the show tackled the hidden world of the "Down-low" community. more ›
