Brooklyn Heights: Given that nobody was hurt, locals actually seem kind of grateful for the fire that just destroyed this Gristedes. Maybe now they’ll get a nice, vermin-free Whole Foods, they hope. [Brooklyn Heights Blog]
Chelsea: Oh, these shots of work coming along on the High Line make us want to sneak up there and smoke cigarettes and drink beer the first warm spring night. And we just might! [High Line Blog]
Harlem: Harlem council member Inez Dickens says no way will 125th Street get its controversial rezoning if it doesn’t provide more affordable housing and relocation aide for displaced stores.

Long Island City: A guy who once lead a conga parade up Avenue A to protest the city’s anti-dancing cabaret laws is now opening a rock club here called the Queensbridge Theater. It’ll close at 4 a.m., then open three hours later for breakfast with home-baked bread. Rock and rolls! [NYO]

She says it makes her feel “grateful for my semi-charmed kind of life” and suspects that watchers from the Midwest who think the women on the show are vapid and superficial are probably just jealous.
