- Good luck to the three women of the FDNY boxing team scheduled to fight at tomorrow night's Battle of the Badges match.
- Two former chefs from Eleven Madison Park opened an expensive pizza shop on Mott Street.
- "A New School student marveled that the Union Square Capital One Café felt 'more like a home.'"
- An American influencer living in Australia could be getting herself deported after stealing a baby wombat from its mom.
