A Brooklyn jury is mulling whether Linda Sun, who advised Andrew Cuomo and Kathy Hochul, secretly aided Beijing from Albany. Prosecutors accuse her of smoothing the path for Chinese interests—and pocketing both salted duck and $1.5m laundered throug…
The New York City Council pledges $2 million to overhaul Wyckoff Heights Medical Center’s neonatal intensive care unit in Brooklyn, a decision likely welcomed by parents and persistently high local birth rates. While this sum won’t render incubator shortages a distant memory, we do appreciate the rare sight of municipal largesse aimed at fewer headlines and smaller patients, proving tiny victories can still add up.
Six teenagers aged 15 to 17 were injured when two men opened fire into a crowd outside Burbuja Events in Cypress Hills, Brooklyn, shortly after a Sweet Sixteen party wrapped up, said NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch. With all victims stable and the suspects still at large, authorities suspect gang ties—though, as ever, there’s an unfortunate surplus of theories in New York and a shortage of swift resolutions.
Six teenagers were wounded when gunfire broke out near a Sweet 16 party in Brooklyn’s Cypress Hills early Sunday, CBS News reports, with police seeking two masked suspects seen fleeing from Ashford Street.

Six teenagers were wounded outside Burbuja Events in Brooklyn’s Cypress Hills after a Sweet 16 party ended, with police saying the shooting—allegedly sparked by a row over a girl—left three 15-year-olds, two 16-year-olds, and a 17-year-old in stable condition.

The NYPD is sifting through mystery after a human skull was found in the bushes beside Brooklyn’s Coney Island boardwalk between West 32nd and 33rd Streets. Medical examiners have yet to determine the skull’s origins or the story behind its sandy arrival—a puzzle that even New York’s famously unflappable detectives might find less “Law & Order” and more existential beachcombing.
St. Ann’s Warehouse has docked Eugene O’Neill’s seldom-seen “Anna Christie” in Brooklyn, enlisting Michelle Williams and director Thomas Kail for ballast. Despite striking waterfront staging and a high-wattage cast, this slow-burn 1921 melodrama mostly steers its way toward a single confessional payoff. The harbor view outshines the play’s lumbering voyage, but for O’Neill completists, at least the whisky isn’t stingy.
