Hipsters on a Rampage

Chinatown: In a fit of ironic violence or violent irony, a hipster mob (including, reportedly, Neckface) trashed an empty building slated for demolition. [Gawker via Curbed]
East Village: A pane of glass crashed down from the Toll Brothers’ accident-prone condo project at 110 Third; an improvement over the last time, when it was an eight-ton crane. [Gothamist]
Harlem: Locals with pups weighing between five and fifteen pounds are sought for a focus group by a resident aiming to build a better doggie carrier. [Harlem Fur]
Prospect Heights: When Forest City Ratner starts tearing down buildings tomorrow for its Atlantic Yards project, it’ll be met by protesters. [DDDB]
Red Hook: Time Out says this waterfront enclave “until recently wasn’t a neighborhood,” faces the wrath of area longtimers. [Gowanus Lounge]
Upper West Side: Look out, Critical Mass, here comes National Velvet! Yes, horses have invaded the West 90th Street bike lane. [Streetsblog]
