Artists James Powderly and Evan Roth recently went on a daring graffiti mission. The goal? Tagging New York's Brooklyn Bridge. They waited for rush hour to die down and tried to be as incognito as people milling around bridges can be in this post-Sept. 11 world. Then, the duo fixed their crosshairs firmly on the bridge's underside, and started etching out dozens - maybe hundreds - of tags on one of its massive supports. They held still as a police boat floated under the bridge. Later, they allowed passersby to pick up the equipment and try it for themselves...

(Lest we forget: "You get a car! You get a car! Everybody gets...
...Altin says. “And whatever we did there, we try to bring it here.” The Hoxallari brothers infuse their culinary expertise into each dish on the menu. The pasta is made daily and is largely responsible for each day’s dinner rush. By five o’clock every night, the small kitchen-counter café witnesses a flurry of activity, while somehow maintaining the pleasant feel of a neighborhood establishment. Locals stand and wait for an open table during peak hours. Families, couples, and even police officers crowd the joint for hours?...
