Those who would argue that same-sex marriage is about one word -- marriage -- are wasting their air. It's about sending the message that members of the LGBT community are of equal value in America.
A: Will this train let me off here? At this stop? B: Ha. A: Pardon? B: Your question. It is absurd. It's the weekend, don't you know? The trains. They will not go where you'd expect.
State senator Greg Ball has articulated three specific concerns with the bill -- concerns which, I believe, can mostly be answered. This gap is eminently bridgeable.
I stepped onto the roof of the West Village restaurant Bell, Book and Candle and caught a glimpse of the future. I was surrounded by 60 white plastic towers seemingly sprouting from the floor.
What Tyree's statement perfectly captures is the self-righteous audacity of those who would deny the gay community the right to marriage equality.
In early June, advocates gathered in Albany to lobby for the Domestic Violence Survivors Justice Act. The bill seeks potential sentencing relief for those charged with crimes related to abuse against them.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg is attempting to bypass the City Council with a bill that would in effect allow New York City's livery cabs to legally pick up passengers in certain areas of the city. This proposal has been shot down for 40 years and it should continue to be shot down.
Welcome to 7 1/2 Second Avenue, also known as 9 Second Avenue, also known as the other half of Germania Flats, one of the 19th-century buildings that will come down alongside Mars Bar this summer.
It's hard to describe the experience of this walking tour/scavenger hunt without giving away vital information that could spoil the adventure for the next person. But this three-hour tour is worth the leap of faith.
Whoever says that music isn't as good as it used to be is probably listening to way too much Katy Perry. Three rising bands you should be listening to performed last week at a special Japan benefit in New York City.

Clarence was the "Big Man," and to many, he was as big as Bruce. Yes, to many, Clarence needed Bruce. But, to the legions of fans who followed the E Street Band, Bruce needed Clarence, too.
Another full-court press conference on terror. Another terrorism air ball. That's the tale of the tape in last week's indictments of Ahmed Ferhani and Mohamed Mamdouh, two alleged "lone wolf" terrorists.
Waste money on gasoline to run a power lawnmower that fouls the air with its fumes? You've got to be kidding. My dad uses a push mower on his lawn -- one previous owner, Benjamin Franklin.
Here's an Australian sports story that deserves the raspberry. Seven-year-old girls in a kickboxing match. The match ended in a draw, but it may be the last of its kind. The Queensland government is investigating.
Unfortunately, one gay rights group decided to go public on Friday to distance themselves from Lady Gaga and to say her Twitter involvement might cause more harm than good. What did that accomplish?
As a Brooklyn boy, my interest in Aronson's film is deep-rooted. I began watching this film with skepticism, but just 5 minutes into this glorious documentary, my skepticism was out the door.
The technology of solar power is advancing and beginning to gain momentum. In the end, it won't be environmental damage that moves us off of fossil fuels, but price.
