Greg Gutfeld is a funny guy. The only problem is that his show, Red Eye with Greg Gutfeld is on at 2 AM on Fox News. But that's not his problem; it's yours-- because you don't get to watch his show. You miss out on fun guests like Dennis Kucinich, Harland Williams, and Johnny Rotten providing rapid-fire commentary on the day's events. But just because it's on at 2 AM and on Fox News isn't......

Part of a larger block party on Eldridge Street tomorrow is the annual Egg Rolls and Egg Creams Festival. For just $2, (a dollar increase from last year), you get a kosher egg roll and a classic egg cream, mixed on site by a professional and made with Fox’s U-Bet chocolate syrup, the best choice for an authentic experience. The fried kosher egg roll will be missing the standard tiny bits of red pork, of......

What lucky little New Yorkers we are. First the grand opening of the new and improved Astor Wines and Spirits and now, we get Trader Joe’s Wine Shop. It’s a wine cornucopia all packed neatly in one square mile. With such great options, so close (or conveniently located next to subways), we realized there was only one thing to do – hold a wine-off. May the best wine purveyor win. Trader Joe’s Wine Shop: Overview:......

Or maybe you haven't. Or, more likely, maybe you've been served poorly. The Daily News highlights the (somewhat obvious) fact that New Yorkers don't like bad service in restaurants. According to Tim Zagat, who is quoted in the article, in the 2006 Zagat guide surveys, 49% of New Yorkers named bad service as their primary complaint. It is truly amazing how bad service can put a damper on an otherwise fine meal. The other night,......

Although they are in no position to quibble, the Nets won't be putting Wednesday's 78-65 victory over visiting Portland in a time capsule. They shot 39 percent from the floor, saw Jason Kidd be held scoreless in regular season game for the first time as a Net and relied heavily on their defense to win the game. Still, they've won three straight and have shown some signs that their struggles may be in the rear......

Remember back in December when the Post took a look at the faux-nightclub for teens, Crush? And then how Gawker had its fun ripping apart excruciatingly irritating promoter, Lizzie Grubman's "16-year-old socialite-private-school-jappy-spoiled-Upper-East-Side intern," Lexi Lehman? Well, get ready for round two. Tomorrow's Sunday Styles catches up with the Post with its own story on teen nightlife. First off the Times stops by Crush, where it doesn't sound like business is doing so hot ("we're......

"Here's a little gift. From Heather to Heather." Though it may not be the the iconic movie Heathers is something worth cherishing, even if that means you don't go down in flames with Christian Slater. (And while we're thinking about it, he isn't all that cute these days after that bit about sexual harassment on the UES and falling off Paris Hilton's roof.) Heathers just came into being last Saturday and we stopped in during......

The MTA has pushed back plans to automate the L train to next year, as they work on working out the kinks and convincing the public that the line will work. In fact, when the MTA tested the automated L train over the weekend, the sole motorman made many mistakes; Newsday reports: The failed exercise lasted less than an hour. It ended when the motorman, a train service supervisor with years on the job, mistakenly......

If the Beatles conceived a lovechild with The Kinks while Pet Sounds blasted in the background and then made him listen to a lot of 60's pop music - this lovechild would be Jeddediah Smith. He is the one man behind My Teenage Stride. With a voice that, from song to song, can go from one of those early mop tops to a more chipper Ian Curtis...MTS appeals to the masses. Chances are that......

Can you ever be again with someone you dated? Even if hearts were broken? How do these things work? What are the rules? N., Murray Hill Building hips with those that we’ve dated is always precarious. It’s only possible if you have A Talk upfront, where you make it very clear that, although you value his hip, there's no chance of there being a relationship again. Make sure in the beginning that you're both on......

So it looks like the Poincare Conjecture may have been proven. While this is not expected to revolutionize the way we here at Gothamist do business, it is interesting nevertheless. Bear in mind that these things usually take a while to knock out all the kinks. That's what peer review is for, especially in cases like this where some nutcase closets himself for years in order to solve a problem that great minds have broken......
