We here in the Ist-A-Verse know that we're sensational, but it's very rare that we get a chance to be sensationalistic. This week, we've decided to have ourselves a little fun and try our hand at tacky tabloid headlines, using nothing more than our favorite posts from this week. Torontoist Special Report: Rosie to Trump: "Fire 300 Bicyclists for Fraud!" On DCist: Students Go Wild for Slogans, Secrets and Sexual Harassment The action was thick......

If you're a fan of Overheard in New York, you're going to love today's Google Maps Mashup. Overplot takes "2876 quotes at 1108 locations" and reformats it all as a clickable map. So now you can find quotes conviently located near your home or office. For instance, near Gothamist HQ: Chick: ...and I was like, "Suck my dick!" Fuck that! Girl: Oh my god!

A few weeks back the guys who run the Overheard sites got into a big disagreement, which ended with the publisher (Morgan) pushing the editor (Michael Malice) out of the site. Malice went on to found his own version of the site As we're no fan of blog-beef, we were glad to hear that the guys settled their feud yesterday: We want to state publicly that we have reached an agreement regarding our sites......

Lots of movement with Gothamist's old, reliable standby, Law & Order. First of all, NBC is moving L&O from Wednesday at 10PM to 9PM. While an hour might not mean much, it actually means our head will explode, with Lost at 9PM on Wednesdays as is Veronica Mars. But this frees up Project Runway at 10PM!! We imagine Dick Wolf is pissed off to have to go head to head with Lost, but maybe that's......

Let's check in and see how our usual link-buddies are celebrating the holiday: From Our pals at OverheardinNY: The Public Transportation Will Be All Backwards MC guy: So...you've probably been out hitting the New Year's sales...What's the next holiday to get its own sale? Martin Luther King, Jr. Day? I wonder how they'll promote that sale. Audience guy: ...Free at last! --Sidewalk Cafe, Avenue A Dr. King Must Have Been Dreaming White guy on cell:......

After reading the review of Ana Marie Cox's new novel, Dog Days, in the Times yesterday (Cox got praise some of the satire, but the narrative itself was too formulaic), Gothamist wondered what about the other bloggers turned genuine, published (or about to be published) writers and their fates. Are a bunch of online fans enough to make a book successful? But what would be success? Critical praise or bestseller-dom? Link love from the blogosphere?......

Delicious has long been an indispensible tool for our work here at Gothamist-- we have bookmarks for dozens of tags and monitor them throughout the day. Our favorites include Brooklyn, New York, and Photography, but our favorite tag is definitely "NYC." Starting today, Josh and his pals have added a new feature to make the NYC tag page even better: you can now see the most popular recent NYC tags. The default view for the......

There are so many blogs out there these days-- but it's rare we come across of bloggeurs that aspire to a higher social purpose.

Dear Gothamist Readers: Today I have some exciting news. On Sundays, Gothamist will now feature editorials and opinion pieces written in the first person singular voice. So emphasis on the word "I"-- no "we think" or "Gothamist believes"-- these pieces are going to be written in each author's unique style, and will feature their uncensored opinions.

Last night, Gothamist went to check out the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade Inflation Night up at West 77th and West 81st Streets off Central Park West. Newsday reports thousands went to check it out, and it did feel that way: It was a zoo of Thanksgiving Parade enthusiasts, tourists, and mainly tons of parents and children. Overheard, parent to child: "Big Bird is sleeping. He'll wake up in time for the parade!" and we......
