THIS WEEK BEYOND THE BURG
How About We – the dating site where you choose potential love based on individual purchasing power – is asking New Yorkers if they would date outside their borough. Personally, I’m out if I have to wait for the G(host) train. The G takes FOREVER. But if you’re into this whole inter-borough dating thing and […]

USPS Officially Declares Waterfront Less Cool
Sorry priced-out Manhattan folks at The Edge. Gothamist reports receipt of the new Williamsburg zip code divide, and the luxury condos will be among those forced to adopt the new 11249. The zipcode change spans Bedford Avenue to the waterfront. The rest of us can still claim the uber-hip original gangsta 11211. Represent, yo. – […]
Winning the Cycle War
Now that the weather is a sexy summer boil, it’s time to hop on those pretty little bikes for some outdoor adventuring. However, NYPD is notoriously and disproportionately cracking down on cyclists. And their main objective: quantity over quality. Streetsblog procured the police cheatsheet[.pdf] instructing law enforcement as to “illegal” biking conduct. Unfortunately, the list […]
