1. Top Shop opens in USA along Broadway today. Gabriel and Jason spotted Kate Moss while they were shopping in Soho. The flagship store is apparently 4 stories high.

2. Yoko Ono is selling an art piece divided into 67 jigsaw pieces for autism. According to the BBC, "The installation depicts fluffy white clouds against a clear blue sky and is made up of 67 jigsaw-like pieces."

3. AIG has been in the news almost everyday. And, they are based in New York City. The piece about them spending millions to build dividers in their office? That office is in NYC too.
4. Another disgraced bank, Citibank, is based in NYC. The more interesting thing is, their name graces the new home stadium of the New York Mets (Citi Field). People who wished to escape their financial difficulties by going to the ball game will end up being reminded by it.
5. Where else can you find a mayor who takes home a salary of $1 a year, and yet is ranked the richest New Yorker in the city? I guess you won't find him on the list of most well paid leaders (incidentally our PM is no 1 on the list. Score!)
