Another week, another string of tickets for something most people didn't even realize was illegal. Todays trouble? Those signs that restaurants put on the street with their specials and the like to try and entice you. Apparently the NYPD is now cracking down on restaurants who are letting their signs go more than three feet into the street. The fine? $100. And you know who we bet they are going for next? Marlo Scott of the West Village cupcakery Sweet Revenge. She told the post that though he got "fined once for having our sign outside," he still puts his sign out everyday. "You just pray that you don't get a ticket." And you know what doesn't help get those prayers answered? Blabbing about it in the paper. We hope she pulled her sign in close today. more ›

Delicatessen: Opening last night in SoHo, this snazzy new restaurant/lounge from the owners of Cafeteria had a soft-opening Thursday with an Interview Magazine party. Grub Street reports: “There’s not much new about the sleek surfaces, backlit back bar, and the cabinlike (odoriferous!) wood panels upstairs, but we were wowed by the square, eight-table room downstairs, where there’s a D.J. booth, a wall mural by José Heredia, and a sunroof offering a view of the tenement buildings above.” Chef Doron Wong’s cosmopolitan comfort food menu ranges from a breakfsast-time Delicatessen Benedict, made with pastrami and spicy spinach hollandaise sauce, to Matzoh Ball Chicken Soup and Cheeseburger Spring Rolls for dinner. 54 Prince Street, (212) 226-0211. more ›
