• New York Named Least Manly City

  The compulsive listmakers at Sperling's Best Places have come up with "America's Manliest Cities." The #1 butchtown is Nashville, and at the bottom of the list of 50 towns is New York. Nashville took the warm, sticky crown with "its high number of NASCAR enthusiasts" and "popularity of hunting and fishing and concentration of BBQ restaurants." New York was docked for low scores in the "fishing," "home improvement" and "drag racing" categories and, we assume, detrimentally high scores in the "kno

  Six New York City supermarkets have agreed to pay some $300,000 to baggers who worked in their stores for tips only and no base pay, the state Department of Labor announced yesterday. The supermarkets, located in low-income neighborhoods throughout Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx, include a Key Food on Myrtle Avenue near the Fort Greene/Bedford-Stuyvesant border, and a C-Town in the Norwood section of the Bronx. The largest settlement was reached with a Pioneer Supermarket in East New York, w

• Kids Prank Teachers with Itching Powder, Chaos Ensues

  Putting itching powder on teachers' seats -- it sounds like something out of the Our Gang comedies, or Booth Tarkington's Penrod. Well, things have changed, buddy -- when the Shoe Bomber tried to give himself a hotfoot, we sent him away for life! And when somebody, presumably students, pulled this at East New York's P.S. 345 yesterday, the Department of Environmental Protection sent a frickin' hazmat squad and teachers went through a Silkwood decontamination shower.

• Cops Hand Out Cards with Stop-and-Frisks

  New York cops are accustomed to the stop-and-frisk, a casual maneuver in which they detain a citizen on the street, pat him down, and tell him to getouttahere or arrest him. Now, in a pilot program affecting Harlem, the South Bronx and East New York, they also issue their victims a palm card (in seven languages!) explaining to victims why they have been thus manhandled. They started doing this on April 23, but no reporters were hanging around Harlem, the South Bronx and East New York enough to

• Mon Dieu! French Tourists Start New York Trip with Car Chase

  It was, she said later, like something out of a film. Moments after Ester-Ethy Mamane landed at JFK yesterday, she and four other French tourists, including her 60-year-old mother, were guided into a waiting van that was supposed to shuttle them into town. The trouble started a few minutes later, as Port Authority cops realized the van was not an authorized shuttle and tried to grab the keys from the driver, Khaalis Preacher. With the tourists settled neatly inside, Preacher floored it, knockin

• Missing Person: Geralene Black, 66

  ​Geralene Black, 66, was last seen at around 7 p.m. on Saturday at Amboy Street near Loft Avenue in East New York. She's in good mental and physical condition but folks are understandably worried. She's 5'5", 180 pounds, light-complected, with brown eyes and black hair, and was wearing a blue jean jacket, white shirt, blue jeans, white sneakers, and a brown baseball cap when she vanished. If you have information as to her whereabouts, NYPD asks you to contact 1-800-577-TIPS(8477), www.ny

  They might hang out with famous pacifist/anarchists like Penny Rimbaud and pal around with weed-smuggling dragons, but do not try to rob one of these two guys unless you're prepared for a fight. (One might question the wisdom of heading to East New York in the middle of the night looking like you just got out of class at Pratt, but I suppose if you're tough enough no one's getting your wallet off you, no matter what. Pity about the Metrocard though.) [@Japanther]

• Bound Corpse Found in East New York Fire

  ​The Queens fire that killed sexual-harassment plaintiff Bianca Kuros last weekend is no longer considered suspicious. Now FDNY investigators, and the NYPD too, will turn their attention to a new fire, in East New York at 395 Warwick Avenue, in the ruins of which a dead man was found tied up. More than 100 firefighters were called to the scene early this morning, and the flames spread to a neighboring house before the conflagration was subdued. The corpse of the unidentified man was badl

  The Times and News endorse Bloomberg. The Times takes the occasion to undiplomatically point out that they never liked term limits to begin with. The Times also credits the Mayor's multi-jillion dollar campaign with saving the local economy by spending a lot of money on pizza. Two firetrucks collided on their way to a gas leak in East New York yesterday, flipping one onto its side and trapping the driver inside. 12 firefighters were injured, 4 seriously, including the driver.

• Bloomberg's Election Night Party -- Actually Fun

  Bloomie knows how to party​It was well past 11:00 p.m., and a couple thousand Bloomberg supporters were still waiting in the Metropolitan Ballroom of the Sheraton Hotel for the mayor to show up. They were an enthusiastic group, shouting slogans of "four more years" while noshing on giant soft pretzels, popcorn, and sliders, all paid for by Mayor Mike. If it weren't for the fact that everyone was constantly checking their Blackberries, people seemed to actually be having a lot of fun. Desp

• Straphangers Award "Pokeys" for Slowest Buses; M42, B63 Big Winners

  The NYPIRG Straphangers Campaign and Transportation Alternatives have announced their eighth annual Pokey Awards for the city's slowest buses, and the surprise winner is the M42 that lumbers between the Javits Center and First Avenue on 42nd Street. By the sponsors' calculations, the M42 achieves a ground speed of 3.7 mph, which they say would "lose a race with a five-year-old riding a motorized tricycle," which we think is rather harsh, as the five-year-old would probably stop for ice cream.
