Bloomberg denies it, insisting that the kitchen is positioned wrong; Curbed NY has the floorplan. [NYT; Curbed NY ]

Where Koch has spent almost a decade now reviewing movies as a side gig (see: The Mayor at the Movies ), Mike Bloomberg ” once told a friend he had seen only 10 movies in his life. ” Make that 11— he admitted he went to see Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy .

Mayor Bloomberg knows this, and that’s why he told reporters yesterday that he will veto legislation that bans those giant yellow sanitation stickers the Sanitation Department slaps on scofflaw vehicles. “Stickers are an enforcement tool that have shown that they keep our streets clean and if you take them away there’s no reason to believe that we won’t go back to the dirty streets that we had before,” Bloomberg said. Indeed it’s a shame that Errol Morris’ documentary, The Thin Yellow, Sticky Line, wasn’t given the Oscar nod this year. [ more › ]

And now a group of mayors—including our own Mike Bloomberg—have teamed up to try and bring the freedom to marry to the rest of the country. [ more › ]

Besides serving as a kind of summary of his achievements in office as well as a glimpse at what he’d like his legacy to be , Bloomberg’s speech most notably touched on a plan to shake up the school system by offering monetary incentives to high-performing teachers while booting the worst ones: “We need to be able to identify those ineffective teachers and give them the support they need to grow,” he said. “And if that doesn’t work, we need to be able to move them out.” [ more › ]

But not New York City pols! They’re already focused on next November when Gracie Mansion, long left vacant by Mike Bloomberg, is once again up for grabs. And the early front runner is … still City Council Speaker Christine Quinn. [ more › ]

We’re just relieved one NY team can win this week, after last week’s twin slaughters. And while Mayor Bloomberg tried his best to stay out of the inter-city rivalry, NJ Gov. Chris Christie made no secret of who he is rooting for: “J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets. Absolutely. Rex and the boys win by seven.” [ more › ]

Last night a Department of Sanitation worker doing shopping at the Garden State Plaza Mall in Paramus heard a woman screaming as she was being mugged. He was unable to catch up with the crooks, but he was able to pull out his pocket knife and stab it into the crook’s car tire, allowing cops to quickly catch him and his accomplice. [ more › ]
