This city used to be FULL of lions. Now it's all strollers and frat boys.

My daughters asks, "Mommy, why are the lions sleeping?" And that’s not something you want to explain to your child.

Meanwhile we have cougars snatching up young men all over the Upper East Side and nobody is doing a thing about it!

Lions all over the place, sleeping on cardboard. "They're all drug infested," said an unidentified park worker.

Thanks deBlasio.

Cops everywhere in the park the past few days. It's so obnoxious and unnecessary. Let people live.
It's amazing what a stupid article can do.
I hope it dies down.

Came around the corner of 1st Ave and 9th Street last night, my mind was elsewhere, and this thing just appeared before my eyes. I'll admit I jumped back a bit.

If you don't like lions in your neighborhood, go back to ____.

Or is this one of the NY Post's examples of unsavory characters just lion around in the vicinity of the park?

Once the Scarecrow and Tin Man show up...watch out. Someone will coat the walks with gold paint and it will be a regular musical extravaganza. (Lady Gaga as Dorothy and Tony Bennett as the Wizard?)

Replacement player for the Tiger in the Cadillac?

The Tiger currently resides in the rafters of the 37th street pedestrian underpass beneath the FDR to the East River Esplanade. At least that was where I saw an identical stuffed lion yesterday afternoon.
