Anthony Weiner’s leaked video announces he’s running for mayor - NYPOST.com

@mson


Weiner time

Yes I know, I saw the video. The problem with Weiner running is he takes away from Deblasio who I think is the best person to challenge Quinn. Weiner was the man before the scandal, but it might be too soon for him to run. Deblasio just received the support of 1199 and I think he has a good chance of winning. At the end of the day I'm hoping that it's anyone (Deblasio, Thompson, Weiner) but Quinn. I think that Quinn is helped by all of these candidates taking votes from each other.

Exactly. I hope at least two of them drop out before September.

Weiner has no chance of winning. He needs to have a seat.

Definitely. I think we will see some late summer drop outs. They have to coalesce around someone because Quinn is Bloomberg part 3 Bill Thompson is not winning this time.

I kind of feel bad for Thompson because he gave Bloomberg a run last time, but it is what it is.

He would have been a good mayor. Only him and Weiner have only ever been out manhattan.

Say Brehs,


I can't find our restaurant thread. I'm looking for recommendations for traditional Italian anywhere in Brooklyn or lower Manhattan.

Closing in on Brownsville: Brooklyn Gentrification Nears the Final Frontier | Observer

“So many of the civic successes heralded by Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg,” Ginia Bellafonte wrote in The New York Times back in 2012, “might have happened in Lithuania for all the effect they have had (or could have) on the lives of people in Brownsville,” which Ms. Bellafonte then goes on to helpfully identify as a neighborhood in northeastern Brooklyn.

We’re not sure if gentrification counts as a “civic success,” and we aren’t aware of any pasty-faced, heritage flannel-wearing hipsters wandering around Pitkin Avenue, the neighborhood’s main drag, yet. But if trends in nearby neighborhoods are any indication, it won’t be long before Brownsville—a byword for blight, home to the largest concentration of public housing towers in the city and to this day a place that some mail carriers fear to tread—is selling something artisanal besides stamp bags.
