The collection ranges from quiet images of dilapidated buildings to the Ninth Precinct narcotics squad (a crew usually donning Yankees caps known on the street as the “Baseball Team,” according to Mr. Mangia) making a drug bust. The images are reminiscent of a time when the city was “dirty, dangerous and way more interesting than today,” Mr. Mangia said.
“People were bashing the dog on his head with a stick,” she said. “Someone screamed to me, ‘Grab the balls!’ and I squeezed that dog’s balls as hard as I could. He didn’t let go. I tried to pick up his legs, which I was told you’re supposed to do.
Puzzo says that he started to walk around the "situation" as slowly as possible, but that the dog opened its eyes as soon as Puzzo and his dog came close ("like when you come across a sleeping vampire," Puzzo analogized). "I yanked my dog's harness up like a fuzzy yo-yo and blocked the pit's mouth with my arm," Puzzo said. "It … was pretty fucking bloody and painful. To be bitten by a dog is a very strange feeling. It felt like someone had lit my arm on fire."
“It was like from 50 feet away,” Vassilev told The Villager. “That dog saw my dog. He wasn’t on a leash. I picked up my dog. When he jumped up and bit me, it was like it was in slow motion. He got a chunk of my arm. It was brutal. It wasn’t a nip — he bit through my arm,” Vassilev said.
All of it could have been avoided if de Blasio were addressing the city’s rising homeless problem, he said.
“A couple of years back, there were homeless people, but I would see the same faces,” Vassilev said.

A 40’ wide development site located on the north side of East 3rd Street between Bowery and 2nd Avenue. The site is currently improved by a 4-story, multifamily building that will be delivered vacant. It is suitable for a hotel or mixed-use development. Alternatively, it could serve as a private club location.
The property is split zoned, with 42 percent of the lot lying in the R8B zoning districts and 58 percent of the lot lying in the C6-1 zoning district. According to a study by Design AIDD Architecture study, this zoning allows for a maximum residential FAR of 3.44 or 10,509 square feet, maximum commercial FAR of 6.00 or 18,330 square feet, and a maximum community facility FAR of 6.50 or 19,857 square feet. The property borders the Bowery Hotel to the north, and to the west Urban Muse has planned a 13-story residential condo building with retail.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a boutique development site in one of the trendiest neighborhoods of Manhattan. Ownership prefers offers for the C-Corporation shares.

"I am writing to report a ratastrophe on East 12th Street … I looked at the window of the exterminator shop, and I saw that the rat that is usually perched on top of the fake rock in the window display was lying on its side! I don't know when or how this happened, but I felt bad for the rat, even though it is likely made of plastic and doesn't have feelings."
