Details from Diner's Journal on Thursday:
[Chef Michael White] will serve 12- and 16-inch pies to eat in or take out. The tables in the restaurant, a high-ceilinged box in wood and brick with 62 seats inside and 38 on the sidewalk, are fitted with little metal sockets in which the stems of cantilevered pizza stands are placed, so a pizza does not take up table space.

A "nasty fight" broke out between a boyfriend and girlfriend. That's when 31-year-old Corey Capers, a relative of the woman, intervened. The boyfriend then allegedly stabbed Capers to death and fled the scene.
According to CBS, "Police have identified the boyfriend and said that they are close to an arrest."
Meanwhile, a reader sent along the above photo, noting one of the inscriptions - "you lost your life trying to save another."
Updated 2 p.m.
The Post reports that the woman was the aunt of Capers; the Daily News says that the woman was his grandmother. Gothamist posted a photo of Capers (left) and the suspect, who police identified as 47-year-old Carl Knox, aka Abdul Hakim ...
