Racked’s new Like/Likely feature takes a look at all the mixed-use developments on the horizon in Williamsburg and weighs in on the future retail landscape. [Racked] The School of Visual


Arts is buying the Chelsea West Cinema building on West 23rd Street. [Media Bistro] A Staten Island bar scraps plans for a "dwarf bowling" competition this Saturday night after the


city threatens a $10,000 fine. It is unclear whether the dwarfs were to be used as pins or balls. [NYDN] Most people will never step inside the hallowed walls of 15 Central Park West, but


_New York_ magazine is offering the next best thing to dinner with the Goldman Sachs crew there (or Sting if you prefer) with this video tour of the glitzy building. [New York Magazine]

of her globe-trotting neighbors were around to help. [Curbed] Harry Macklowe may be sacrificing the title to the GM building, but he’s trying to negotiate a deal that would leave him with a


substantial revenue stream from the property. [TRD] If Mayor Bloomberg’s revised congestion pricing bill is not approved, taxi fares could begin at $6.50 under an alternative proposal from


Albany. No one from the city would ever suggest such a thing. [City Room]
