How did Brooklyn Heights ring in the Jewish New Year? With swastikas painted inside the First Unitarian Universalist Church on Monroe Street. Sigh. Police said there were also “very inappropriate statements," but did not get more specific. [BHB]

Tonight after a rough day in the markets, many of the city's residents will join their families to celebrate Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year. It is tradition to eat apples dipped in honey for a sweet new year, but if you're more interested in a spicy new year, try Mexican Rosh Hashanah dinner at Toloache. Tomorrow and Wednesday from 5-11 p.m., they'll be serving a special menu for the holiday, featuring dishes like Pescado Ahumado, house-smoked whitefish salad Yucatan style with chips; Tacos de Cordero Agridulce, a leg of lamb steamed in banana leaf with tamarind and pickled prune jalapeno salsa; Pollo con Granada, chicken breast with kabocha puree and chile de arbol pomegranate salsa; and Pastel de Aguacate, a honey piloncillo avocado cake with roasted apple salsa and date walnut ice cream. Toloache, 251 W. 50th Street, 212-581-1818.
