TALK about Topsy-turky, this Thanksgiving it’s the Lions you want to catch, and Da ‘Boys that you want to snooze through – even especially if the latter is playing a team from NJ.
Topsy-Turky In LIC
Fer Restaurant II Coming to Hunters Point
SOMETIMES I think I should just write for Eater. The owners of Fer Restaurant in LIC located north of the bridge, will be taking their culinary skills south of the bridge. Way south, having just signed a lease in the new Malt Drive development at the bottom of Hunters Point.

FOR some people in Long Island City, a monumental change came last week. For others, a bigger change will occur this week.

Certainly not a blowout. I digress.

MY favorite week in NYC is upon us. On the platform at VJ this morning is a foreign family (British, I presume) in tracksuits, ready to tour the city before they run the city on Sunday, as well as a smattering of costumed commuters. When I get to midtown there’s many more of the same motley mix. Motley only if you’re not from NYC. And the weather, need I say more?((random disclosure about global warming))
