In the News: Disco Manhole Busted

••• “The young woman killed in a horror plunge from a posh Tribeca high-rise [101 Warren] had little time left in the country and had gathered with friends at a beer-filled soirée as she was preparing to ship off to South Korea, a source told The Post.

••• “[BPC] residents have noted a more courteous and professional manner from PEPs lately: the parks officers at their main office on West Thames Street now answer the phone ‘Battery Park City Command’ (consistent with Parks Department policy) and address community members by ‘sir’ or ‘ma’am.’ Officers on duty have also taken to greeting passersby.” (Broadsheet Daily)
