    On Wednesday, the NYC Department of Transportation On Wednesday, the NYC Department of Transportation Sign Shop released a small batch of one of the city’s most popular street signs: “Leaving Brooklyn – Fuhgeddaboudit.”  In introducing the sale of the authentic replicas, NYC DOT Commissioner Ydanis Rodriguez said, “Few words are more closely associated with our city and its most populous borough, so if you don’t act fast to purchase one of these signs, you can fuhgeddaboudit.”  Well, fuhgeddaboudit.  All 100 signs were sold out by Thursday. (The signs sold for $100 apiece.) Read more at the link in bio. Photo courtesy of Marty Markowitz

    New York City’s “bodega cats” are beloved fi New York City’s “bodega cats” are beloved fixtures in the Big Apple — but they’re on the wrong side of the law. The convenience store cats that live at many of the city’s bodegas and delis look innocent enough, spending their days lounging in sun-soaked storefronts or slinking between shelves of snack foods as they collect friendly pets from customers. Officially, though, state law bars most animals from stores that sell food, with bodega owners potentially facing fines if their tabby is caught curling up near the tins of tuna and toilet paper. The pets’ precarious legal position recently came into the spotlight again when a petition circulated online that advocated for the city to shield bodega cat owners from fines, racking up more than 10,000 signatures.
