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.
