197 Madison

It was quite a scene in front of 197-199 Madison Street (pictured) yesterday afternoon, as a tenant-landlord dispute took some unexpected turns.  We’ll have a full report later today. We’ll also review the contentious radio encounter between Rep. Carolyn Maloney and Reshma Saujani, her opponent in next week’s Democratic Primary. Continue reading Good Morning!

The sun has set on summer 2010. The kids go back to school this week, but it won’t feel much like fall today. We’re looking for a high of 87, mostly sunny skies. Continue reading Good Morning!

At the New Museum, the lobby continues to be adorned with new ribbons detailing your wishes. It’s part of Rivane Neuenschwander’s ongoing exhibition, “I Wish Your Wish,” which we profiled earlier this summer. Look for a high of 80 today, with showers beginning this afternoon. Tomorrow, 77 and windy. Sunday, 75 and sunny. On Monday, Labor Day, sunny and 80 degrees. Have a great holiday weekend, and if you’re headed for the beach, watch out for Hurricane Earl! If you’re going to the airport this afternoon, expect wind-related travel delays.

One more day of scorching heat. Sunny and 92 today. 83 tomorrow, with rain showers. The big question: is Hurricane Earl going to screw up your holiday plans?

Here’s our little reminder that the city’s massive reconstruction of the Brooklyn Bridge is now underway. Starting this week, the Manhattan-bound lanes will be closed overnight. See more details here. More rain today and a lot cooler. We’re expecting a high of 73.  More of the same until we get through Wednesday, when the sun reappears!

Sunny and 86 degrees today. Partly cloudy and 83 Saturday. Isolated thunderstorms and 79 Sunday. We’ll have some ideas for your weekend coming up. Plus, more on new conflicts in Chinatown, where community activists are trying to finish work on a neighborhood development plan. Also, we’ll wrap up last night’s Community Board 3 meeting examining its liquor licensing policies. And Sheldon Silver has a 2012 opponent. More yo come…

Sunny and 89 degrees today. This evening Community Board 3 will, for the first time in several years, undertake a review of its policies surrounding liquor licenses. Not that it won’t be entertaining, but if you prefer to spend a beautiful evening outdoors, there will be a “Tribute to The Fania All Stars with DJ Lucho” in East River Park.
