“Hundreds of thousands of people will find themselves home-bound in Queens on weekends through spring because of 7 train repairs.

Here’s our advice: Stop moaning and start roaming. There’s more authentic culture, food and nightlife in these emerging neighborhoods than most sterile Manhattan enclaves. And they’re less expensive.”

Today’s MUST HEAR radio: StoryCorps

Dennis Apple and his wife Buelah came to StoryCorps to talk about their son, Denny. Nearly 21 years ago, Denny came down with mononucleosis. Before going to bed one night, he took some medicine, and talked about where he wanted to sleep.

I love StoryCorps so much, but I really need to stop listening at work! Nothing worse than tearing up while working on monthly reports…

Happy Thursday night, y’all!

Benedict Cumberbatch might be the best name ever.

Holy shit. I knew this guy was a d-bag…
