A gay Brooklyn man is on life-support with probable permanent brain damage, after being lured to Plumb Beach for sex by four straight young men who contacted him on what police are calling a “popular internet chat line”. Michael Sandy, 29, fled his attackers by running onto the Belt Highway where he was struck by a car, which left the …

Thanks to everybody for all the birthday wishes yesterday. I celebrated by dragging my enfeebled, liver-spotted carcass into bed at 8PM, falling asleep before they even found the body on Law & Order. Celebration was made, however, on Sunday night, on my usual round of beer busts, where multiple shots of Jager were handed to me over the course of …

Built on Madison Square in 1909, the 51-story MetLife Tower ruled as the world’s tallest building until the Woolworth Tower went up downtown four years later. The MetLife completed a multi-year renovation in 2002 and today you’d swear it had gone up yesterday, not 97 years ago. My late aunt once had an office behind one of the clockfaces, screwing …

In what many music industry insiders consider the final nail in the music retail coffin, Tower Records was liquidated on Friday after a couple of years of operating in Chapter 11 bankruptcy. All stores immediately put up their “Going Out Of Business” signs, including New York’s Broadway store, pictured above. This leaves only Virgin Records, with 20 stores nationwide, as …

Landmark punk venue CBGB’s is in its final week of existence. Downtown drugstores are already lamenting lost eyeliner revenues.
