Today, Sunday, July 13, my bike — a GT Aggressor, red/white/black — was stolen from in front of my building at 225 E. 6th St. (between 2nd and 3rd Ave) around 3 p.m. Any help or information is appreciated. Please contact Lisandro at 646-325-4348.
This morning on the East River running path there were some suspiciously laid out tire spikes right in the middle of the sidewalk near 18th Street and Avenue C — right before you turn onto the Promenade.
I obviously can't say they were placed there, but they definitely weren't there last night and they were laid out in such a way by the curb that you wouldn't see them unless you were looking down.
Not excited if this is a new type of new high school prank...
The full moon this weekend will be extra large due to it proximity to the Earth, according to NASA. It’s the second supermoon of the year, though the largest one will occur in August.
The moon will peak around Saturday and will appear bigger and brighter than a normal full moon as it hits its closest point to Earth.
Drummer and producer Tommy Ramone, the last surviving original member of the influential New York punk quartet the Ramones, died Friday at his home in the Ridgewood area of Queens, New York. He was 62 and had been in hospice care following treatment for bile duct cancer.
Born Erdelyi Tamas in Budapest, Hungary, and known professionally as Tom or T. Erdelyi, Ramone played on the first three epoch-making Ramones albums, “Ramones” (1976), “Leave Home” (1977) and “Rocket to Russia” (1977). He also co-produced the latter two albums with Tony Bongiovi and Ed Stasium, respectively. He appeared on and co-produced the 1979 live Ramones opus “It’s Alive.”
After leaving the Ramones to concentrate on studio work, he co-produced the band’s 1984 album “Too Tough to Die” with Stasium. He was replaced in the lineup by Marc Bell (Marky Ramone), a former member of Dust and Richard Hell’s Voidoids.

New Yorkers will get their last chance this year to see Manhattanhenge on Friday, when the setting sun aligns precisely with Manhattan’s river-to-river street grid.
The twice-a-year phenomenon is set to occur at 8:24 p.m. — the time when the full sun will be framed by the east-west concrete canyons. New Yorkers are in for an extra treat on Saturday, when a perfect half-sun will align with the grid at 8:25 p.m.
The first incident occurred on Sunday, May 18, at around 2:52 a.m., when the man allegedly grabbed a 24-year-old woman's buttocks in the hallway of her apartment building near East 14th Street. Then on Sunday, June 15, at 2:05 a.m., the same suspect touched the buttocks of a 22-year-old woman inside the hallway of her apartment building on Stuyvesant Oval.
