The Gothamist Newsmap noted a report of a "possible armed man" around 1 p.m. at King and Varick Streets in downtown Manhattan. Various readers tell us that the police are swarming the area over reports of a "pissed off sniper." We heard that one, perhaps two people were on a roof, possibly with a rifle, hence the NYPD helicopters. Reader Andy sent us this shot of a chopper overhead. Let us know what you......

In the crossroads of the "Can't Beat 'Em, So Join 'Em" chronicles and the "____ Diner, R.I.P." annals, there's is the Moondance Diner. The NY Sun reports the SoHo fixture will be razed for - you guessed it - luxury condos.

Let us know if you're interested in getting a Gothamist t-shirt from Neighborhoodies - we're in......

This little clothing company is getting a lot of play among the Carroll Gardens/Williamsburg/Noe Valley hipster set. Basically they put the name of your neighborhood on a classic old sweatshirt. NeighborHoodies.com... We weren't sure what neighborhood to get- K thought "West SoHo" sounded real stupid. We ended up going with "Thompson St." Other neighborhood choices that I liked: Orchard St., Vinegar Hill, Arsenal, Battersea, Dreamland (a subway stop in Boston), Little Tokyo, Sunset, Watts, South......
