We've seen countless time-lapse videos taken in New York, but still when we stumble upon a great one, we can't help but stare with rapt attention.

Pants are too droopy, no one dresses up anymore, boys are dressed like girls, girls are dressed with boys. No, these aren't the latest posts on the Things Old People Like To Complain About Tumblr page. They're the complaints gossip dowager Cindy Adams included in a screed about Manhattan street style today:

Rejoice! The Barefoot Contessa recap is back! On today's brand new episode of Ina Garten's rich (in many ways), televised culinary compendium, East Hampton's HBIC sank her teeth into—and got some intense pleasure from—a cornucopia of good eats.

Why is everyone so damn worked up bike lanes, those green strips of pavement that have been popping up all over New York (and causing disputes) in the past few years? A New Yorker scribe is virulently opposed to them, and now everyone seems opposed to him.

Hana Lin, 26, was drinking beer with two friends in their 26th-floor apartment at 101 Warren St. in Tribeca (pictured) early Tuesday morning. They went on a beer run; when they came back, she was gone. She'd fallen over the balcony to her death.

Good news from the Snowpocalypse: A man survived a suicide attempt today when he jumped from the 9th floor of a Midtown Manhattan building and landed on a pile of garbage that was left uncollected after the snowstorm. [NYDN]

It's been a pretty heist-filled holiday season in New York! First, the $1 million art heist; then on Christmas day, three masked men stole $879,000 worth of jewels from a diamond store, escaping by jumping roof-to-roof.

Ever wonder what's it's like to race a bike from one tip of Manhattan to the other? Now you can practically sit on the handlebars as one rider takes you on his winning obstacle-laden journey downtown.

A Manhattan Mister Softee ice cream truck driver named Oner Ismail was fined $350 for picking up five drunk people and driving them to a club, making that Mister Softee truck the best gypsy cab of all time. [NYP; image]

Manhattan borough president Scott Stringer has declared all-out war on bedbugs, and he wants Mayor Mike to step up "before it gets out of control." Stringer thinks bureaucrats are "studying" too much, and that it's time for a bloodbath. [NYDN]

A study finds the noise in 98 percent of Manhattan's public spaces is above healthy levels. You may think you're used to the sirens, jackhammers, and trucks, but the racket raises blood pressure. Great, we'll soon be deaf and dead!

An 18-month court battle over a woman's right to have a backyard treehouse for her kids has ended, and the treehouse won. New York artist Melinda Hackett yesterday beat her cranky neighbor and even won landmark status for the structure.

"Craziness in the sky," an intrepid tipster emails us. "There are some sort of flying hovering bright objects above the Queensboro bridge." Have the Manhattan UFOs returned from their sojourn to El Paso? Or is some kind of viral-marketing stunt?

A New York couple is suing Guinness heiress and fashionista Daphne Guinness for repeatedly flooding their multimillion dollar apartment with her overflowing bathtub. The lawsuit would ban her from taking baths. What is she doing in there?
