Yesterday, our NYC office decided to enumerate the reasons they're glad they don't live in L.A. citing the many aspects about their hometown they feel are superior. Did we detect a hint of bitterness in their words written from the office they're holed up in to keep warm in the city's chilly 50° temps as we read them outside in a t-shirt next to the pool? More»

You can't travel between Manhattan and Brooklyn on the L this weekend. But a new bar is transporting King's County to New York, New York. Brooklyneer is coming soon to the Village, and looks to put another dent in the MTA's finances by keeping the Brooklyn-curious in more touristy pastures. More»
