There are some residual delays on Metro-North this morning after yesterday's East Harlem building collapse that led to the suspension of all service in and out of Grand Central. The trains' speed restrictions were lifted at 6:30 a.m. and there may be 5-10 delays. A crowd formed in Grand Central as commuters waited out the suspension or devised alternate routes to get home as the New Haven, Hudson and Harlem lines were all down. But......

Drama rocked the tabloid news website Gawker last week when half the editorial staff abruptly resigned. The news came to readers through an initially unassuming post on the website by editor Emily Gould, who addressed at length an essay about Gawker in the new issue of literary magazine n + 1 before divulging news of her departure, along with managing editor Choire Sicha. (It was later learned that a third editor, Joshua Stein, had also......

Resumes are being accepted to fill a sudden vacuum in the self-proclaimed “drug ring” that is Gawker. On Friday afternoon, at the end of a long Gawker post about palling around with the n + 1 crowd – who happen to be publishing a long think-piece on Gawker in their new issue – editor and cewebrity Emily Gould abruptly announced that managing editor Choire Sicha was to resign. And she would be joining him.......

Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: high-rise fire in Midtown and a bank robbery in Brooklyn Heights. Jon Brownstoner comes out to the New York Observer: he's 37, lightly-bearded, and lives in Clinton Hill. There's a protest against that huge Meatpacking District billboard tonight-- 8:30PM in front of the Hotel Gansevoort. The Army frequents Harlem high schools to recruit; a student says, "It's harassment because you can't walk through the hallway without them saying things......

Gothamist cannot shy away from admitting we're fans of General Hospital. We just can't. It's a great, rerun-free, low-rent amalgam of ER, the Sopranos and Desperate Housewives (though much older than any of those shows). However, it seems we're sitting down an hour too late. Anyone who's anyone is getting on board with ABC's earlier soap, One Life to Live. A daytime staple since 1968, OLTL is filmed right here in NYC and has launched......

Another really short Weddings and Celebrations this week, so enough with the pleasantries and let's just jump in: Total Number of Weddings: 9 Total Number of Same-Sex Weddings: 0 Average Age of Brides: 30.3 Average Age of Grooms: 31 Youngest Bride: 26 Oldest Bride: 35 Youngest Groom: 26 Oldest Groom: 35 Average Age Difference: 1.3 years Largest Age Difference: 4 years Number of Older Brides: 2 Number of Older Grooms: 4 Number of Same-Age Couples:......

Yes! The New York Observer has TWO articles about how The O.C. is kind of over right now - and they are front page stuff! Gothamist's take on the show right now is that there are good parts (Summer, Julie Cooper, Peter Gallagher's eyebrows) but too many bad (Caleb's illegitimate daughter Lindsay? BORING. Kim Delaney? Yikes. And we want the old Seth Cohen back). Yet we still watch. Anyway, the Observer's Charles Taylor charts......
