IN OTHER WORDS . . .
Happy Easter! I managed to sneak away from work long enough to hit church and celebrate a young man's early birthday. A-Rod's first at bat, first pitch in fact, after yesterday's walk-off grandslam was a 2-run homer. I haven't caught the rest of the game. It's Easter and it was snowing in NYC today, but let's get to the links:
She's Getting Too Old For This
The 85-year-old woman who was beaten in a highly publicized push-in robbery last month is moving out of her neighborhood 'cause she's too afraid to live there anymore.
Something to Chew On Over Sunday Brunch
The Times looks at the origins of Eggs Benedict and its story is chock full of satisfying tidbits.
Alt-Coffee-Delete
The Times should just inaugurate a once-a-week gentrification section, because here's a story about an Alphabet City coffee shop remaking itself as a more family-friendly environment, e.g., taking the "No ODs Allowed" sign out of the bathroom.
Not Just Happy To See Cops
Transit cops are finding a number of guns and knives on people they search after car hopping on the subway.
The Evictees of 2nd Ave.
It's starting to sink in that the MTA actually intends to knock down UES buildings to start its 2nd Ave. Subway Anti-Project.
"You boo puppets! You hiss villains in silent movies!"
Hecklers ascendant: the rise of the self-appointed critic willing to give you his two cents no matter the time or place.
Sisters Act
Three Brooklyn sisters charged with having a hand in the death of the youngest's infant upon birth.
One Man, One Vote
My favorite of the day: The NYPost finds a doorman who voted for the Clintons before, but now wants to vote for Obama, and puts him on the front page.
Extra, Extra - 4/8/07
Easter ice on the Gowanus, extraditions in the Park and Shoot killing, and a great holiday pic.
