Just say it. Keep sounding it out. Got it? But just so you know, it’s not just Bloomberg . . .

Easy: The Staten Island Ferry! Hook yourself up with a Budweiser tall boy and take in the view . . .

Also the name of a photoblog (do “photoblogs” still exist?), I think you’re thinking of the laundromat that is in Brooklyn, at 666 Fulton Street.

The figure of New York City’s total square miles was revised in 2008 and current statistics show The Bronx having 20,876 acres (.pdf), or 32.61875 square miles. That doesn’t include bodies of water, which would bring the total up to 44 square miles.

They’re building a park there.

In the future, I suggest searching for something like this instead: “capitalizing east.”

To answer your question, some make a distinction (see here or here, as well) between “East” as a place — as in “I spent time with my relatives back East” — and “east” as a direction — as in “I walked a few blocks east of the park.”

If you have a Chicago Manual — or if you have access to one, the citation for capitalizing geographical terms like compass points is 8.45–46.

If you need me to be more specific, any time before 7 p.m. is good — the seats are all reserved.

That would be longtime ABC announcer Jim McKay.

I dare say that most any alcohol will make you sexy . . . sexy enough.

“how far is it to walk from 32nd street to 56th street in nyc” (11/30/09)

“can i walk across williamsburg bridge?” (11/30/09)

“is it illegal to jump off of the george washington bridge?” (11/30/09)

First off, eight subway lines converge at Union Square, the L, N, Q, R, W, 4, 5, and 6 — though when you’re in Manhattan in may be more helpful to think of them as three lines — one down 14th Street (L), one down Lexington (4, 5, 6) and one down Broadway (N, Q, R, W)

Second, I feel like we’ve answered this before but in case we haven’t, you can Wikipedia that there are 20 Manhattan blocks in a mile, so 24 blocks would be . . . [scribbling on back of napkin] . . . 1.2 miles.

Third, of course you can walk across the Williamsburg Bridge! Here’s how.

Fourth, are you crazy? Interestingly, at one point it was unclear that it was actually illegal, a point brought up by the BASE jumper Jeb Corliss, who got in trouble for jumping from the Empire State Building in 2006. The City Council tried to remedy this after two building-climbing stunts in 2008 and finally did it in September 2008 (Int 0721-2008, if the link doesn’t work). So yes, it’s illegal to jump off of the George Washington Bridge — though if you’re on the New Jersey side, who knows?

Yes! This is important to understand, and was explained in a recent Times article:

Selling a swipe on a MetroCard is illegal and can get you arrested. Bending a MetroCard’s magnetic strip to fool the turnstile into letting you through is also a form of theft.

But letting a friend or a relative use your unlimited-ride MetroCard when you are not using it is perfectly legal, as long as you don’t charge for it, said Paul J. Fleuranges, an authority spokesman. (The card allows only one entry every 18 minutes.)

Mr. Fleuranges said it is also legal to help out a stranger who asks you, as a favor, to swipe him through a turnstile free as you are leaving a subway station — although it certainly deprives New York City Transit of a fare.

Were you by any chance dining at an In-N-Out?

Because the Google is a safe environment in which there are no stupid questions, I will tell you — with neither snark nor scorn — that, no, corned beef is not pork. It is beef, specifically brisket.

Something tells me this will either be A) good to know, for some reason or B) helpful for lazy math students. So here goes.

According to Wikipedia, the Empire State Building is 1453 feet and 8 9/16 inches tall. 1453 feet is 442,874.4 millimeters and 8.5625 inches is 217.487 millimeters, so we’re talking [quick calculation] 443091.887 millimeters.

1453.53515625 feet divided by three equals 484.51171875 yards or 4 (4.03759765625, to be exact) football fields, including end zones.

First check the Adam’s apple. If you’re still unable to determine, look at the hands — hands will give it away every time.

I don’t think Trilby Glover is Crispin Glover‘s daughter (he’s only 44). But you might want to ask Crispin’s cousin Danny about it though . . .

What is the prairie dog. I’ll stick with “Squirrel-Like Rodents” for $400, Alex . . .

Picking just three “main” bridges is difficult in a city with so many bridges — over 2,000 total, 76 over water, more than 1,000 on land, blah, blah, blah — but maybe you’re thinking of the Manhattan, Brooklyn and Williamsburg Bridges?

Try the barbecue?
