As originally reported on Gothamist, what appears to be a new Banksy has popped up in Queens. Heidi Trenholm, 24, was walking through near the Woodside-Elmhurst border when she “saw a man wearing construction gear loading something into a rental truck,” then noticed the piece, partially obscured by a blue tarp on the wall. UPDATE: Banksy has confirmed […]
For years, an old ferry boat in North Brooklyn has been hosting parties, shows, artist studios–even living quarters. But on Friday, while docked at 190 Morgan Avenue on Newtown Creek, the dream ended, as Fire Department officials busted the operation. DNAinfo points to years-old articles in Gothamist and BushwickBK that extolled the ferry’s virtures, telling of “music, […]

His first Better Out Than In piece was no exception–first, it was tagged up, then the sign was stolen, and the Smart Crew put up a modified version, and finally, […]
You may have seen this video of a woman positively losing her shit on an American Airlines flight to Tampa. Apparently spurred by the recent death of her mother, the woman shrieks “God you are my savior” over and over and over, unfazed by her fellow passengers’ attempts to assuage her grief. It is scary, […]
