| Ex-Employees Suing Goldman Sachs "Boys Club" On Behalf Of All Women Posted: 02 Jul 2014 03:18 PM PDT  Back in 2010, former Goldman Sachs vice president Cristina Chen-Oster and former Goldman associate Shanna Orlich filed a lawsuit against the billion dollar banking firm claiming widespread gender discrimination. Among other things, they called it "a ‘boy’s club’ atmosphere, where binge drinking is common and women are either sexualized or ignored." And this week, Chen-Oster and Orlich announced that they are seeking class action status for their lawsuit. [ more › ]      |
| Vice Rumored To Take Over Glasslands Space For New Offices Posted: 02 Jul 2014 03:04 PM PDT  Vice Media, Rupert Murdoch's favorite NSFW hipster mag/HBO show/media conglomerate, seems to be continuing its reign of terror in Williamsburg, having just announced a move to a 60,000-square-foot space on South 2nd Street and Kent Ave. Scarier still, it seems like the "former industrial building" they're taking over is currently home to DIY venues Glasslands, Death By Audio and erstwhile 285 Kent, and though this hasn't been confirmed, it's pretty unsettling if it is true.

| Brooklyn Public Library Iconic Central Branch Lacks Money for Repairs Posted: 02 Jul 2014 02:27 PM PDT  Brooklyn Public Library's Central branch may be a staple for locals, a required destination for students, and a must-see for tourists, but a closer look will reveal that the circa-1940s building is in desperate need of repairs.

| NY State Senator: Legalize Pet Pigs Posted: 02 Jul 2014 01:54 PM PDT  For a place where men wear cats on their heads and carry rats in their mouths, the laws against pig ownership seem pretty stringent. [ more › ]      |

| Bushwick Residents Tapped to Guide Rezoning Efforts Posted: 02 Jul 2014 01:06 PM PDT  Starting this month, Bushwick residents are invited to speak up about their concerns for neighborhood rezoning. Opinions will be heard during a series of meetings scheduled throughout the summer. [ more › ]      |
| Accused Cannibal Cohorts Hope Cannibal Cop's Conviction Overturn Will Help Them, Too Posted: 02 Jul 2014 12:45 PM PDT  Now that Cannibal Cop is (sort of) walking free, it appears his cohorts are trying to use that whole "fantasy role play" ruling that got his conviction overturned, too.

| Newsstand Banned From Selling Coffee After Starbucks Moves In Posted: 02 Jul 2014 12:32 PM PDT  A tiny, unnamed kiosk could go out of business after the management at One Fordham Plaza has asked the newsstand, located in their rear lobby, to stop serving coffee and tea now that a Starbucks has moved into the building. Another outstanding kneel to corporate America! [ more › ]      |
| Bushwick Artist Invites You To Stay In His Cage For $1 A Night Posted: 02 Jul 2014 12:19 PM PDT  Last week, the internet briefly roused itself from its summertime hibernation when it was reported that you could stay in a jail cell for just $10 a night via AirBNB. The cage, which actually just costs a person $1 a night and is located in Bushwick, is a project by artist Miao Jiaxin—but faster than you can scream "Human-Sized Hamster Wheel," it was removed from AirBNB. There apparently is some serious demand for fantasy jail experiences, so Miao has now posted the listing on his Facebook. [ more › ]      |
| Natural Fireworks Arriving Soon As NYC Finally Hits 90° Posted: 02 Jul 2014 11:58 AM PDT  The heat is here! For the first time since 1985, and for only the 19th time since 1870, the temperature did not reach 90 degrees before July. That looks to change today as it is already 89 degrees and the abundance of tropical heat and humidity streaming northward should push this afternoon's high into the lower 90s. With an atmosphere this soupy showers or thunderstorms will be a possibility late in the afternoon and even more likely in the evening hours. Some of those storms could produce heavy downpours.

| NJ Not Sweating A Little Great White Shark Action Posted: 02 Jul 2014 10:54 AM PDT  It'll take more than a few great white sharks near Cape May and Long Beach Island to keep beach lovers from the Jersey Shore this weekend. Laurie Krempa, a regular to the area, told CBS New York that she has no intention of changing her July 4th plans to visit the shore, and places her full trust in the probably teenaged, whistle-twirling lifeguards.

| Here's What You Can Do About The Rowdy Airbnb Hotel Next Door Posted: 02 Jul 2014 10:28 AM PDT  My tormentors come bearing Benny Benassi, heavy heels, and apologetic smiles. For the past six months I've been living below two illegal hotels. These guests stay in my Lower East Side tenement for the same reasons I do: it's convenient, comfortable, and relatively cheap. But the loud Australian accents bouncing off my fire escape, the rolling luggage that reliably scrapes my ceiling and skull on Sundays and Thursdays, and the sheepish shrugs I get from strangers who tell me they found their hotel room "on the internet" but curiously don't recall where, have turned my tiny sanctuary into an insane asylum. What can I do about it? As it turns out, not much. [ more › ]      |
| Six Flags Ride 'Zumanjaro: Drop Of Doom' Delayed Again! Posted: 02 Jul 2014 10:10 AM PDT  Last year, Six Flags Great Adventure announced it was adding a 415-foot drop ride called Zumanjaro: Drop of Doom for 2014. But now the ride's opening has been delayed for a second time. [ more › ]      |
| Bow Before Renderings Of NYC's Largest Apartment Building Posted: 02 Jul 2014 09:44 AM PDT  A few months back, we were given a glimpse of a future never-to-be when renderings of a sleek glass residential linked tower in Hell's Kitchen were released. That design ultimately wasn't chosen—but now we have renderings of the skyscraper that will be going up in its stead. And it will be the biggest residential building in NYC. [ more › ]      |
| Posted: 02 Jul 2014 09:20 AM PDT  A bunch of crazy people are going to celebrate every American's right to overeat this weekend by stuffing a million hot dogs down their throats. And if this image doesn't make you want to shove a frankfurter of your own in your gullet, nothing will! Hot dogs are one of the best food inventions of all time, and this city's got a million of them. We've rounded up our favorite non-dirty water dogs around town; as always, leave yours in the comments. [ more › ]      |
| Citi Bike To Be Bailed Out By Real Estate Interests Posted: 02 Jul 2014 09:03 AM PDT  Faced with busted docks, faulty software, and a dearth of profit from 24-hour and 7-day users, Citi Bike, a success in terms of popularity, has been a failure where it counts. Its financial namesake won't grope between the couch cushions to support it, and De Blasio has declined to allot municipal funds for it either. So what happens to public projects that everyone wants and needs but refuses to fund? Private real estate to the rescue! [ more › ]      |
| Video: Terrifying Food Truck Explosion Injures 12 Posted: 02 Jul 2014 08:44 AM PDT  An enormous inferno engulfed a Philadelphia street yesterday when an industrial-sized propane tank exploded on board a food truck. The blast "sent the metal tank flying 50 feet into the backyard of a home as flames shot 200 feet into the air" at Wyoming and 3rd Street, according to NBC Philadelphia. "I heard a loud boom like a bomb," recalled Shaquille Glover. "The propane splashed all the way across the street on a pole. That's why the pole was on fire and people that were walking by got burned. A lady got burned on her back. Another lady got burned on her face. It was just the sounds of the screams. There was a good two minutes of screams before the cops even came." [ more › ]      |

| Does NYC Have A Belligerent Bruncher Problem? Posted: 02 Jul 2014 07:47 AM PDT  The Belligerent Bruncher might not actually own half of Manhattan, but the person who recorded his tirade says he's part of a larger problem. "I filmed them because this is one of a thousand incidents that have happened around there," the uploader says. "The week before they had to call an ambulance because someone got so drunk at one of these brunches they crapped themselves and had to be taken to the hospital." [ more › ]      |
