    The pugilists (clockwise beginning at the lower left): Beaver Tail, Fire Island, Meximoto, Phantom Creek   "In this corner, defending the honor of East Coast oysters," the ringmaster intoned, "are Beaver Tails from Rhode Island, and Fire Islands from Long Island." "And in that corner," he continued, gesturing at the opposite corner, "are Meximotos from Mexico's Baja peninsula, and Phantom Creeks from British Columbia."

  • No Mob Bones About It

    The FBI has given up -- at least for now -- digging for old wiseguy bones at a mob burial ground on Long Island. The FeeBees spent three days this week shoveling away at a spot in East Farmingdale where a tipster had told them more bodies were buried -- to no avail. Last fall, spade work by the bureau at the same site unearthed the remains of William "Wild Bill" Cutolo, victim of a 1999 rubout by Colombo crime family rivals. This was something of a surprise to the feds since, as Ganglandnews.

Nine papers have shut down. The printers struck only the Times, the News, the World-Telegram and Sun, and the Journal American, sparing the financially weaker dailies.

  • I, Locavore--Awesome Deal on Local Chardonnay

    The crisp chardonnay of Millbrook Vineyards and Winery (click to taste) As a wine enthusiast, you're no doubt familar with the reasonably priced and often good wines of the North Fork of Long Island, and the pricier product of New York's pristine Finger Lakes region. But a lesser known wine region centers on the Hudson River Valley running from north of Nyack to south of Albany, on both the east and west sides of the great river. One of the distinguished winemakers of this region is Mi

  • 1.6 Band Reunite, Play NYC

    Uh, wow--the well-beloved-in-very-tiny-circles Long Island post-hardcore quartet 1.6 Band are reuniting to play shows in D.C. and New York. In their two-year, 1991-1993 stint, they played with any number of now canonical Tri-State bands and released a record with Jersey hardcore titans Rorschach (who are apparently also reuniting, original roadies and all), not to mention a 7" called Pimpin' Ain't Easy, which I treasure to this day. No idea why this is happening at all. They play Cake Shop on Ju

  • Have You Seen... Sexual Assailant, Northern Queens

    A 20-year-old woman was walking near 185th Street and the Long Island Expressway in Queens around 10:50 p.m. on July 3rd when, she says, the man pictured at left grabbed her, dragged her off, sexually assaulted and robbed her, and fled. As it happens the man was caught on surveillance cameras at a convenience store, from which these stills are taken and from which the victim identified him. He is dressed here as he was during the assault. If you have information as to this man or this incident,

Apparently, tea biscuits aren't the only foods with the potential to cause grievous bodily harm...

  • This Weekend, an Orgy of Oysters on Long Island

    Abi Skipp/flickr​Jimmy's No. 43 is doing a nice job of showcasing Long Island oysters every Thursday night, but the faithful can get even closer to the source this weekend at the 26th annual Oyster Festival in the aptly named town of Oyster Bay. The event takes place Saturday and Sunday, and will feature a lot of bivalve-based festivities, such as oyster eating and shucking contests. Among other things, there'll also be a 50-inch chocolate fountain, which has nothing to do with oysters (on
