It’s Thursday afternoon in New York City, and although we may not be one of the top 10 healthiest states in the country, at least we aren't West Virginia.
Here’s what else is happening:
- You could technically sleep inside of a subway station for free and get creeped out, or pay $4,000 for a full-on spooky experience in a replica.
- After seven years, the Bronx Night Market is shutting down. Organizers cite challenges like community support and funding as some of the reasons.
- Two men were indicted in Brooklyn for smuggling more than $1 million worth of exotic bird taxidermy and eggs into the country through JFK Airport. They could face up to 20 years in prison.
- The city's Department of Transportation wants to bar any "peddler, vendor, hawker or huckster" from setting up on bridges.
- If you’re in Manhattan or Brooklyn tonight, you may be able to catch a glimpse of a Pac-Man drone show.
- Bereket is back, and here's why that matters.
- Bigfoot or someone in a Bigfoot costume?
- The story of one man’s situationship…with a chatbot.
- And finally, why fit in when you can stand out?
