"Quiet" Subway Car For Cell Phones? Ha!

FROM GOTHAMIST.COM: The hilarity never ends when talking about cell phone service in the subways. The City Council spoke to the MTA about the agency's upcoming cell phone service plans, and apparently some members suggested that there should be "quiet cars" on the subway. We cannot stop laughing! more »

Paging John Fitzgerald Page

Each week, our commenters blab and blab and blab. We used to reward them arbitrarily with a night in our Gold Star Motel. But that was just to get them to shut up. Who will listen to them? Who will care? Not us! But we know who cares: Crazed uber-commenter (and Gawker ad fella) LolCait cares! more »

Latest Gawker Stalker Sightings

  • Kiefer Sutherland

    Waverly Pl & Washington Square E
    Saw Kiefer Sutherland walking on Waverly Pl. with an anonymous Brunette. Tall, tan and much skinnier in person than I would have expected. Seemed very laid back and relaxed.

  • Phillip Bloch

    3rd Ave & 45th St
    Phillip Bloch walking up 3rd Avenue chatting on his cell phone. Said okey-dokey.

  • Jack Nicholson

    2960 Broadway
    Jack Nicholson is outside of Columbia University, chillin outside of the main library, just thought you'd like to know...

  • Dali Lama

    Grove St & S Bleeker St Mt Vernon
    Riding shotgun in a crossover suv in Greenwich Village. It was really strange to see him traveling so meagerly- but i am certain it was him- I was crossing the street on my way to work and was less than a foot in front of him.

not dead yet We were saddened by the loss of East Village bar Midway's liquor license. Not only because losing a place to drink is like losing a limb but because it meant yesterday's goodbye party for now-defunct zine The Crier was off. Happily for alcoholics, Dave the head booker has good news, "Midway has not lost its liquor license. The last one expired and the new one has been tied up in Albany & Community Board red tape that allows them to wait until 10/12 to object to our license before the State Liquor Authority can issue it. We are expecting to be renewed in time for CMJ next week. The Crier party has been postponed to 11/6, not canceled." Can the same be said for The Crier? Bilious Crier editor Doree Shafrir says, "I hope so."
