On June 24, 2008 8:53 AM in Fatal Lower East Side Shooting Leaves Teen Dead, they said:

finally, i can relax-- i couldn't focus on anything else until i knew we had seen pix of all four! for what it's worth, i think this one looks the best of all the ones so far-- i think the brooklyn b...

On June 18, 2008 12:12 PM in Exclusive: Brooklyn Waterfall Turned On For First Time, they said:

I think we just meant this set of pix was exclusive-- not the existence of the waterfalls. That's been known for at least 24 hours!...

On June 18, 2008 11:26 AM in Exclusive: Brooklyn Waterfall Turned On For First Time, they said:

It was-- I think that could be a problem. There was only a light wind, but the water was really being pushed back towards Furman Street-- when I was standing a block behind the falls, I was getting ...

On June 17, 2008 3:47 PM in New Tenement Apartment: Before and After, they said:

On June 16, 2008 4:57 PM in Sponsored Post: What's the hottest late-night scene?, they said:

The best place for an after hours dinner downtown is Balthazar-- just don't go wild on the raw bar. I once made that mistake at about 1:30 in the morning after several drinks-- bad results ensued a f...

If you want to see some cool interactive art, check out the shows at Eyebeam on 21st Street. Downtown, Deitch stages amazing shows at their galleries on Wooster and Grand Street. And in Brooklyn, Po...

On May 13, 2008 9:36 AM in Sue Simmons Drops F-Bomb On-Air (Though Off-Camera), they said:

On April 25, 2008 11:29 AM in Early Addition, they said:

On April 24, 2008 11:29 AM in Morning Dose, they said:

@ djwerdna-- thanks. we've been feeling like Extra, Extra was getting a little too long, and holding stuff for 6:30 every day meant some links were going up hours after they should have. so we're go...

on the upside, this might be a pretty good deal for JP Morgan. They have the assets to ride out a long credit crunch, and when things settle down, they'll probably carve up the corpse of BS at a huge...
