New York

I have some friends who were recently married, and for their honeymoon they did a "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives Tour", based on the Food Network show of the same name.

After the September 11, 2001 terrorists’ attacks Louisiana citizens raised funds to replace fire equipment for FDNY. The first fire engine was named the “Spirit of Louisiana.” The truck was delivered in December, 2001. FDNY sent 300 firefighters to assist Louisiana in response and recovery efforts after Hurricane Katrina...

Time.com's Alexandra Sifferlin submitted a report about some of the New York City Marathon runners' determination to run the foot race, in spite of it being cancelled, and giving back to the relief efforts at the same time.

This video shows time-lapse photography of Sandy hitting New York.  Please help our friends on the east coast as they have help us in the past.

According to a report by NBC 4 New York, Mayor Bloomberg says that the New York Marathon has been cancelled.

Photos of Hurricane Sandy flooded social media sites throughout the day Monday, with Facebook, Instagram and Twitter users in the storm's path posting dramatic photos of waves, flooding and downed trees. (Some are fake, by the way.)

Although details are sketchy at the moment, several news outlets are reporting that a gunman has shot multiple people near the Empire State Building in Manhattan this morning.

Everyone knows that the last two hurricane seasons have been pretty bad. But just how bad were they? Experts say that actually we had just gotten used to an unnaturally low level of hurricane activity, with relatively few major hurricanes hitting the East Coast over the last 30 years.

In July of 2008, the carcass of a bloated, chimera-like animal washed ashore in Long Island. The ‘Montauk Monster‘ terrified and fascinated the nation that summer, with zoologists eventually concluding the beast was probably a water-damaged raccoon, rather than some sort of byproduct of a top-secret experiment gone horribly wrong. Four years later, it looks like we have another monster on our hand

The 36th station New York subway steps trip people, but why?  They look normal.  Something is just not right about these subway steps but to the naked eye, they seem perfect.

Starting at 10:10 pm on Friday and finishing approximately 25 minutes later, 33-year-old Nik Wallenda completed a death-defying stunt that left everyone in attendance in awe. The daredevil aerialist balanced his way across Niagra Falls on a tight rope, becoming the first man to perform this feat.

Southwest Airlines is at it again, this time telling a female passenger her cleavage was inappropriate.

We all tried to get away with the excuse: ”I heard in some countries, it’s rude if you DON’T burp after a meal” after we’ve passed gas either inadvertently or with purposeful malicious intent.  The World Burping Federation wants to put the stigma to an end. They have begun to let our people go with the inaugural World Burping Championship.

Death. Taxes. Rihanna showing skin. Those are the few sure things in life. RiRi loves to drop trou, drop top or just not wear anything at all. The ‘Where Have You Been’ singer debuted a larger-than-life billboard in New York’s heavily trafficked Times Square, promoting her new scent Rebelle. Guess what? She’s naked as the day she was born. We know, we were shocked too. Not!

Craig Dershowitz of New York has spent $60,000 to try to win custody of his dog, a 'puggle' named 'Knuckles,' after his ex-girlfriend allegedly kidnapped him and took him across the country. He claims she keeps filing "crazy, frivolous motions " knowing he can't afford to respond.

I ran across a Youtube video today that showed that there is a common mindset when it comes to politics, happiness and freedom in the United States.

Remember when Victoria Jackson was a regular on ‘Saturday Night Live’? And when she was funny? Seems like a lifetime ago. Lately she’s become a rather paranoid conspiracy theorist, doing things like lashing out at ‘Glee’ for “making kids gay” and railing against Muslims as a whole for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. And on Wednesday, she set her sights on the protestors taking part in the Occupy Wall

The Sept. 11 Memorial is set to open exactly 10 years and one day after the planes crashed into the World Trade Center. The 9/11 Memorial will open on September 12, after being dedicated during Sunday’s remembrance ceremony in New York City.

Many television networks will no longer air the most devastating moments of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center, lest it upset the families of the thousands of people who lost their lives that day. But Understanding 9/11: A Television News Archive feels that that footage is essential as a “resource for scholars, journalists, and the public,” and has archived 3,000 hours of it,

Reuters reports former New York Governor  Eliot Spitzer has been named defendant in two lawsuits totalling 90 million dollars.  William Gilman and Edward McNenney are former executives with Marsh & McLennan Companies.
