ny mag's neighborhood news


Cobble Hill:

A stroller (sans child) was stolen from Trader Joe's. Wait, Trader Joe's Brooklyn opened? The Gothamist also reported on the incident.


East Village:

An NYU student was mistaken for Haley Joel Osment as he was drawing a penis in the snow on a car (and being photographed doing it).


Greenwich Village:

The genius who robbed the bank in G.V. was nabbed after investigators found the name of his landlord on the ransom note. Also: if you're going to rob a bank in NYC...wouldn't you ask for more than the $1500 he got? I mean, you're going to want to buy yourself more than a dinner at Masa, right?


Prospect Park (Park Slope):

A man in banana costume was spotted jogging at 7:50am. The temperature was just 18 degrees on that January 25th morning.


Times Square:

Trip Advisory (dot) com rated Hotel Carter in Times Square one of the raunchiest in the States. It puts an all new meaning to 'don't judge a book by its cover,' no?

Also interesting in the five boroughs: a poll was done to see who was most satisfied with their neighborhood.

Bronx: 24%

Brooklyn: 27%

Manhattan: 38%

Staten Island: 41%

Queens: 51%

(Will Staten Island and Queens just come clean already? You're overcompensating....) I said it.
