The massive SUV catapulted through the sixth-floor window landing in a tangle on a roof between the two buildings.
"There's a f- - -ing car in my back yard," Frank Schwartz said. "I heard a guy yell earlier, but I thought it was just my crazy neighbors partying, and I just ignored it.

Dear Diary:
Recently I was on my way to a job interview in the East Village, a neighborhood I don’t know well. I had a hard time finding the address I was looking for, even with directions I had printed out from the Internet.
The short street, Extra Place, was not marked, and since the tiny shop wasn’t open yet, there was no sign of any kind that I was in the right place. In a panic, I hurried up to a police car stopped at the next intersection and asked where “Extra Place” was.
The officers immediately went to work. One consulted his mobile phone to verify the address; one pulled out a map from a large bunch stuck between the two seats. To my confusion, that officer also handed me a handful of tissues.
“Are you on your way to an interview?” he asked. “You’re going to need this; you have lipstick all over your teeth.”
He swiveled the passenger-side mirror so I could get a look at myself and make the necessary touch up. The two then directed me to the right location and with a quick thank you, I jogged off down the block.
I didn’t get the job, but I did get a good story about New York City officers going above and beyond the call of duty.
this restaurant is about 2100sq ft and has everything that you need to start making money on this busy high foot traffic location of lower east side!! 5 mins walk to the F, J, M, Z trains on Essex station 1 stop into williamsburg brooklyn. back yard seatings are available!! fryer, hood, prep are (in basement), built in fridge and ice machines ready and usable!!. there is definitely money to be made in this restaurant and absolutely great location!! This location is similar to east village, lots of artists and musicians and city people that are willing to spend! Wine and Beer License 100% transferable to new owner!!!! please note that no alcohol licenses are given out in this area anymore, so just the alcohol license alone is worth a lot of money!! and it is included in key money $15,000. You have to see it to believe it!! Lease is negotiable, asking rent is 7000/month. Everything is negotiable!
The store is one of those rare, old-time New York places that are almost impossible to find these days. Two-thirds of the store is devoted to yarn, knitting, mannequins, candles, homemade lollipops, porcelain hands designed to hold your rings, and blouses. It's like a thousand five-and-dime stores crammed into 600 square feet. The remaining third -- the front corner of the store -- is devoted to videogames.
