The Sunday EV Greenmarket has now picked up a fishmonger from a Hampton, not really sure where really or how long they have been there, but the stuff looked superb. Porgy filets, creamish colored sea scallops, black sea bass, and yellowfin tuna were some of the selection presented. Speaking of the farmers, they seem to be finding a published voice more often, hopefully they can join the celeb chef's on the podium and grab a......

Rupert Murdoch did not become a media tycoon by turning tail at the first sign of resistance in his business dealings. New York Times media columnist David Carr examines Rupert Murdoch's past successes in wooing reluctant sellers into folding their companies into the News Corp. family with promises of benign oversight and marginal interference at best, only to run roughshod over the company and imprint it with Murdoch's style before the ink is dry on......

Twenty years ago today, on WNBC's 6 p.m. newscast a monthly sports segment created by Len Berman made its debut - Spanning the World. Since then, viewers in the tri-state area along with those who catch the segment of wild and wacky sports highlights when Len visits the Today show have been hearing his trademark "and nobody got hurt" along with Don Pardo intoning "Tune in next time for Spanning the World, if there is......

Let's face it, this weekend was made for bonding with your couch, napping and eating leftovers. But if you really want to go against the flow, here are some things to get you out of the house... THEATER: Gutenberg! The Musical did so well at the recent New York Musical Theatre Festival that it’s moved on up to 59E59. (The show was directed by Alex Timbers, who most recently helmed Hell House.) In this two-man......

Many of us have been enjoying McCarren Park Pool this summer. The Sunday afternoon Pool Parties are free and the music and dodgeball are reason alone to head out there, L or no L. This weekend we went to our first non-free event at the pool, the Mew/Secret Machines/Bloc Party show. We went for the two openers and left prior to Bloc Party. We've been waiting for the Danish band, Mew, to come to town......

The Daily News has fun bit of reporting today called "Whatever happened to..." in which they track down ten front page headliners from the past year and give a brief little update on them. That sounds fun, you say, so where is the link? That, my friend, is the problem. For some reason the News doesn't think you deserve to read it online (unless, and this wouldn't be that surprising, we're just too stupid to......

Even though it happened across the pond, Gothamist was a little obssessed with Prince Charles and Camilla's marriage yesterday because when we were wee, we remembered watching Prince Charles's first marriage. Mainly, Gothamist was watching for the fashion. We absolutely loved Philip Treacy's awesome hat and headdress - they beautiful and whimsical and the headdress especially was just a shade short of loony and somehow worked for this post-menopausal (we assume) princess. The Sunday-Mirror gives......

Even though tropical storm Otto has appeared on the scene, yesterday marked the official end of the hurricane season. What better way to usher it out than heavy rain and high winds? Isn't it ironic, don't you think? It will come as no surprise that the hurricane season was unusually active this year. While the hurricane season may have ended, today marks the beginning of winter! No, not astronomical winter which begins on the solstice,......

Gothamist's imagination was captured by the story of Alfredo Scappaticci, a.k.a. Stakeknife, a British spy who had been undercover in the I.R.A. for 30 years. He was about to be named by various British media outlets, so he was moved to a safehouse. This does not bode well for peace with Northen Ireland. The Sunday Herald had an exclusive about Alfredo Scappatici, and the uproar comes because although he was the secret weapon the British......
