More on the Cro-Mags stabbing at Webster Hall Friday night


Colin Moynihan at The New York Times has more on the assault that took place Friday night at Webster Hall involving Harley Flanagan and current members of the Cro-Mags.

Per the article:

John Joseph, the band’s lead singer, said that Mr. Flanagan had been at odds with other members of the Cro-Mags since he left the band in 2000 and had not been permitted to rejoin.

“This dude has been a negative thorn in the side of this band forever,” Mr. Joseph said. “I hope he gets what’s coming to him.”

Flanagan was reportedly charged with assault and criminal possession of a weapon.

BoweryBoogie was a witness to the assault... read his reports here.

Having a barrel of fun on East 14th Street


At First Avenue via Crazy Eddie, who notes the "Death Race 2000" vibe... either that or the barrels melted.

Today in photos of rats looking out of a sewer grate


Our friends @nyccorners were staking out a sinkhole in Tompkins Square Park today, trying to snap a shot of a huge rat sticking its head out...

But!

Little did they know, the rats were staking them out ... from the sewer grate...

Siggy's Good Food opens tonight on Elizabeth Street


The second outpost of all-organic Brooklyn Heights restaurant Siggy's Good Food opens today at 5 on Elizabeth Street... just a little ways in between Houston and Bleecker. (Siggy's replaces Rice, which closed in the spring, per Eater.)

Per the Siggy's website:

It is our belief that pure, good food plays a vital and significant role in our lives, promoting physical and emotional well-being. "Organic – back to better!" highlights the difference between organic, naturally grown food – full of vital nutrition and lots of life, as opposed to artificial, instant food. We believe in the power of food and its positive effect.

They will serve dinners only for the first week, then open for lunch as well...
