Williamsburg: The New Meatpacking District?

According to NBC New York, Williamsburg is regarded as the new Meatpacking District in New York.

Somehow I like living in the dingier South Williamsburg area, away from the yuppification and allure to the bankers. Well, I don't mind bankers so much as the idea that Williamsburg is "the new Meatpacking District." No offense... just like my artsy neighborhood!

NYC Celebrating Earth Day in Times Square, O-Kay?!

Apparently there is an extended Earth Day celebration in Times Square today, in honor of Earth Day's 40th anniversary. Can you smell the irony in the air?

New York Celebrates Earth Day's 40th Anniversary in Times Square -- NEW YORK, April 22 /PRNewswire/ --

Strange times we're in, indeed. Hmm, I may bike there today to check out the shenanigans. Oh, and did you know April is also bike month for NYC? Now that's a little more Earth Day friendly... See the info on the Transportation Alternatives website!
