Carroll Gardens: Hey, have you heard the one about the yacht that got stuck trying to take a left turn onto Second Place from Smith Street? [Gowanus Lounge]
East Village: Wow, look at that … they actually put two bike lanes on Second Avenue to make it easier for bikers to cross Houston without incurring death from left-turning traffic. [Streetsblog]
Greenpoint: Upper East Side office girls may have Chippendales strippers for their birthday and bachelorette parties. But the lucky ladies of Greenpoint have … Dancer Boy! [Newyorkshitty]
Harlem: Funeral services will be held tomorrow for jazz-vocalist legend Irene Reid. And can we just say, it’s great that our #1 Harlem source is posting again! Welcome back, peeps. [Uptown Flavor]
Jamaica: The owner of “the finest Beaux-Arts building in Queens” may stand in the way of its being landmarked. Probably doesn’t want any of those pesky “preservation pervs” lurking around. [Gothamist]
