John (Junior) Gotti, a week after a Manhattan jury declared a mistrial in his fourth spin around the justice system in five years, dropped in at Grimaldi’s Pizzeria tonight. Gotti, once the reputed head of the Gambino crime family, dined with his attorney, Charles Carnesi, and an unidentified man, seemingly unnoticed by other patrons. Federal prosecutors are still mulling whether or not they will make a fifth attempt at charging Gotti.

Don’t Be (Third) Alarmed
The acrid odor of smoke in the area this morning is wafting in from a three-alarm fire in a vacant building in Long Island City. Lots of people in our area, however, are calling the Fire Department, hence the cacophony of sirens. No major conflagrations here, though.

It took some wriggling, courtesy of the Fire Department, to assist this straphanger who took an express route down the stairs at the Borough Hall station, and ended up with his foot caught between the bottom step and the railing’s vertical support. It happened just after 6:30 tonight on the stairs below the Municipal Building. Engine Co. 224 and Ladder Co. 110 responded with hydraulic tools—just in case—but were able to free him without much effort. He didn’t make his train, however, and instead found himself in the back of an ambulance, en route to Long Island College Hospital for observation.
