This is amazing!  I can’t wait!  Last year’s Billy Joel concert at Shea was one of the best experience of my life, no joke.  I took a shitty video of Macca’s appearance there. Paul McCartney will be the first artist to perform at Citi Field in Flushing, NY. The three shows are currently scheduled for July 17-18, and the concerts, more than 40 years after McCartney’s...

Cary Randolph: Question. What's the difference between "mazel tov" and "l'chaim"?
ZL: Mazel tov = congratulations.
ZL: L'chaim is used when toasting, literally, "To life!"
CR: And how do you say thank you? Because I know it isn't "Mazel tov."

ZL: Never said "thank you" in Hebrew.
ZL: Gracias?

I’ve reposted the video here, so you can revel in its awesomeness.

Straphangers on the only line that doesn’t enter Manhattan will get service to five more stops than usual beginning July 5, according to an NYC Transit memo. That’s because work on the highest-elevated subway stop in the entire system, Smith and Ninth...
