* The breathtaking transparency of 7 World Trade Center. [City Room]
* The De Kalb Avenue subway stop turns up where you least expect it: In a bathroom in Glasgow, Scotland. [Curbed]

* A Park Slope man gets ticketed for drinking a beer -- on his own stoop! [Brownstoner]
* The Observer checks out Roosevelt Island 2.0. A few weeks ago, amNY examined the boom on the island as well.
* 10 restaurants we lost this summer, beginning with Florent. [Eater]
* And there's no end to the "when will Chumley's reopen" saga. [Eater]
* An end-of-summer visit to the Lemon Ice King of Corona. [Jeremiah's Vanishing New York]
* And a "staycation" trip to Hart Island. [Queens Crap]
