* Ephemeral New York gathers up a nice collection of old store signs and asks a question we and other bloggers have asked: How will these beauties be saved? Treasures that have been around for decades, they often end up in the trash when the store is inevitably priced out of existence. At least one person recently had the right idea. [Ephemeral New York]
* Kinetic Carnival has a collection of Mermaid Parade photos on Flickr.
* Froyo watch: For Tasti D-Lite, a new logo and a green-tea addition may not be enough to reverse the effect of Pinkberry, et. al. [Serious Eats]
* Starbucks gets the message: The people want the char back in Charbucks. [Serious Eats]
* A midtown YMCA: The evolution from home for "transient young men" to apartment building. [Ephemeral New York]
* That was fast: Film-adaptation rights have been purchased just days after the publication of a New York Times story about an architect who "built hidden puzzles and games into a wealthy family's apartment for their children to discover and interact with." [Unbeige]
* Dr. Ruth honored on the Bronx Walk of Fame -- only thing is, the Washington Heights mainstay never lived there. [Talk the Bronx]
* Bond's, Gimbels, E.J. Korvette: A vanished world preserved in old newspaper ads. [Queens Crap]
* Why, oh, why does this subway station have this extra, stumble-friendly step? Torts law, anyone? [Queens Crap]
* Happily alive and well: the Village Gate sign. Thank you, CVS, for leaving it alone. [Lost City]
* An interview with the creator of Make Music New York, who took a Parisian tradition and made it work in Gotham. Anyone up for organizing a citywide White Night? [Gothamist]
* From the pages of The Onion comes sad news that former Mayor Rudy Giuliani has been spotted sleeping on the F train. Kudos to The Onion for the wicked Photoshop job. [The Onion]
