[Updated] Report: Worker falls through subway grate in front of IHOP
[DNA/Tuan Nguyen]
We're receiving reader reports that someone fell through a subway grate on East 14th Street between Second Avenue and Third Avenue. As Fox first reported:
One reader said that it occurred in front of IHOP ... which the report (and photo) by DNAinfo confirms ...
The Times noted that the man was not seriously injured.
Updated:
The worker DID NOT fall through the grate. He was standing on a ladder beneath the grate and fell.

A worker fell through a subway grate on E. 14th Street in Manhattan Friday morning, said FDNY officials.
It is not clear why the grate, which serves as a ventilation shaft for the subway tunnel below the sidewalk, gave way.
The worker who is in his 60s was rushed to Bellevue Hospital with neck injuries, added EMS officials.

When you screw around with a motorcycle in front of the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop
From the Big Gay Ice Cream Shop Facebook page ... on an incident that happened last evening at the shop on Seventh Street:
A very strange kid came into the shop. Eventually he bought a cone, then he asked "who's motorcycle is parked in front of your shop?" We told him it belongs to a guy upstairs, and he said "yeah, I need to work on that bike, so just ignore me."
The dude who owns the bike is obsessive — shines it, polishes it, and no one ever touches it. The kid uncovered the bike and started to screw with it, so we called 911. He took off, but the cops showed up and our staffer Kayla went off in their car to look for the dude. She got him!

First sign of Schwimmer Manor
Workers at 331 E. Sixth St., site of David Schwimmer's future six-story home, are making noticeable progress now... Yesterday, the house made its first appearance above the plywood...
And more bricks were arriving this morning...
Anyway, moving forward, we should probably come up with a name for the house... a way to refer to it in future posts. Going with Schwimmer Manor at the moment. But that's a little meh. Anyone?

Going in deep at 51 Astor Place; plus, survey results!
Just checking in on the progress over at 51 Astor Place... Bobby Williams took this shot yesterday...
Meanwhile. Good lord! We forgot about our exclusive poll from a few weeks ago ... in which we asked what you would rather see at 51 Astor Place — green space/empty or the Death Star.
Here's how you voted America. (And parts of Canada) ...
Hmm, only 218 votes ... (and thank you for checking in Texas, Florida and Nebraska...)
Note: There is a margin of error of +/- 3.1 percentage points. Or not.
