It’s Thursday morning in New York City and a Connecticut man was arrested after finding a bag of cash in a bank parking lot.
Three months after he found and kept the $5,000 bag of cash, Robert Withington was charged with larceny because as it turns out, the money actually belonged to the town’s tax department and documents inside the bag supposedly identified the money’s rightful owner.
Here’s what else is going on:
- How many iconic NYC foods from this list have you had?
- Another NYC food may soon be a thing of the past. Big Gay Ice Cream is following a similar trajectory of Ample Hills — fast growth and fast decline — with the company holding onto just one Upper West Side location amid mountains of debt and fraud accusations.
- Social media is pretty boring now, especially Instagram, which is filled with highly curated posts and an intense, algorithmically-organized feed.
- Tomorrow will be the last day to relive your childhood (or your parent’s childhood?) at this Brooklyn McDonald’s that got an 80s makeover.
- New Jersey officials have yet to capture an alligator that has been spotted in a park lake multiple times prompting a park closure.
- The facade of Angelina Jolie’s new Manhattan art studio venture was mysteriously painted pink.
- Gov. Kathy Hochul and Mayor Eric Adams are bickering again, this time it’s over foie gras. Yes, our fearless leaders are butting heads over duck livers as Adams is pushing to continue his predecessor’s work to ban the delicacy in the city, but Hochul blocked that ruling, arguing it “unreasonably restricts” foie gras farms.
- And finally, who doesn’t love a sprinkler?
