A few more details on the early Sunday morning stabbing outside Chelsea nightclub Promenade, located on West 28th between 7th and 8th Avenues. The Daily News says that a patron who "objected to leaving at closing time...pulled a knife and began slashing." Four employees were stabbed and Abdul Taylor was arrested for attempted murder, assault, criminal mischief and criminal possession of a weapon. One neighbor told the News, "There is always noise on this street. We've had [problems] in this club before." WCBS 2 spoke to another resident, who was also frustrated, "There's always something going on, always a problem, always police coming by, being called," but the club's patrons say the club prevent such incidents, "They search you strictly. Guys get it worse than the females."

There's nothing quite like walking hand in hand with the one you love on the Brooklyn Promenade, gazing across the East River into Manhattan, watching the sunset, and remembering you have to pay your Verizon bill. The Brooklyn Paper reports that one man is so angry about the glowing Verizon logo affixed to the equally uninspired building, that he's "vowing to ramp up the fight." Brooklyn Heights newcomer Richard Brown, "who now spends significant time on the Brooklyn Heights Promenade with a new significant other, said he first noticed the 'unsightly blemish' as he and his lady were enjoying a sunset a few weeks ago." Ever since, the sign, housed at 375 Pearl Street, has become the Moby Dick to his Ahab.

How many trees have to die before someone does something about Olafur Eliasson’s waterfalls? Earlier this month the Parks Department and the Public Art Fund admitted that the salty East River spray from the Brooklyn Bridge waterfall was making the leaves on trees at the River Cafe in DUMBO go prematurely brown. Now the Brooklyn Paper reports that the trees at the Brooklyn Heights Promenade are suffering from the same affliction, brought on by the salt slowing photosynthesis. Officials have assured tree-huggers that the spray from what BP calls Eliasson's "four-headed killing machine" doesn't pose any "long-term danger," but the way things are going, it's only a matter of time before some Earth First! activists start climbing up the falls to try and hang protest banners.
