Last week a group of parents in the West Village were up in arms about the S&M street festival hitting a street too close to home. Yesterday the fest, which was part of New York Leather Weekend, hit Weehawken Street -- or shall we say whipped? Those in attendance perused a plethora of whips, chains, blindfolds and other S&M garb.
Leather Hits the West Village
West Village Parents Take on the S & M Fest
Residents of the West Village are calling for the removal of Community Board 2 Chairperson Brad Hoylman and CB2 District Manager Bob Gormley because of two little letters: S and M. The two approved the permit for the S&M Street Festival, which is set to take place this Sunday on Weehawken Street.
Most Unfriendly Place to Have a Pee-Party?
There's something in the air these last couple of weeks-- and that something is pee. First, we noticed that notorious, disgusting sign in our building. Then we started noticing "no peeing" signs everywhere. Then Joe did a nice little piece where he pondered a very deep question: what street has the most no-peeing signs in Manhattan? His nomination was Weehawken Street, a short block just off Christopher Street near the West Side Highway, where he counted three. Our guess is Jersey Street, between Lafayette and Crosby, where we counted four. What's your guess? Perhaps when we have the answer, we can finally put this behind us.
