Day trippers: Picture yourself in a park under Delancey
The story people seem to talking about at the moment comes courtesy of New York magazine, where three "urbanist entrepreneurs" share their idea for the long-abandoned trolley terminal under Delancey Street ... (Read more about the trolley terminal here.)

Multiple readers have reported a strong police presence this morning on East Eighth Street between Avenue B and Avenue C. The police have two buildings in the middle of the block cordoned off...
A detective on the scene told a resident that someone assaulted a woman on the sidewalk earlier this morning.
More information as it becomes available.
Updated ... Per a reader:
Details are still a little sketchy but word is that a woman, possibly passed out on the street, was sexually assaulted early this morning.
