Anderson Cooper or No Alternate Side

January 16, 2011

Who's hosting Sunday brunch today? Your local editor is craving eggs benedict. Five things go to the host, in advance:

1. When Patch's Victor Mimoni tried to reach a rep for the Bayside Historical Society on Friday, they were hammer-in-hand too busy to talk to him.

They were feverishly preparing for of A Celebration of the Arts. BHS will have 2 judges view and rate the artwork that was submitted by various artists in and around Bayside. Awards will be given to the top rated artisits at the Opening Reception.

2. This is really cool: The Urban Park Rangers, will have participants , for all that goes bump in the night inside Alley Pond Park. Attendees are asked to bring a flashlight, especially if you're afraid of the dark! 

3. You can park wherever you want tonight; Alternate Side Parking is suspended tomorrow (Monday) for Martin Luther King Day. You'll still have to pay the meter.

4. Speaking of meters, do you know how much the city earns every day from metered parking—or how much the city lost the week it was suspended after the Boxing Day Blizzard? Check back in with Patch to find out the surprising figures.

5. So, last night on SNL, an intoxicated Andy Sambourg asks a straight-faced Anderson Cooper if he'd ever 'hooked up' with Barbara Walters. Then Pee Wee Herman, also drunk, slams Anderson in the head with a chair. Just watch.
