Round-up: Downtown Manhattan


Here is a round-up for this week's Wall Street (and general downtown Manhattan) news.

Nightlife: In light of the Financial District's growing liveliness and recent rise to popularity, FiDiDigs.com reports the first sign of homosexual nightlife arriving on the scene.

Policy: A new law prohibits tourists from buying knockoff designer handbags by imposing a $1,000 fine and possibly one year in jail.

Crime: Last week's alleged subway pen stabber, Coroberto Cordero, has been indicted for assault and possession of a weapon and marijuana.

Cat: The beloved cat who mysteriously washed ashore on Governors Island has already started building its brand — through several spoof Twitter accounts, such as the pun-loving @GovsIslandCat.

Dining: Top baristas and bartenders from all over downtown will be teaming up this week for a coffee cocktail contest, the winner of which will receive a $1,000 cash prize.

Wedding: DNAinfo.com provides a list of its favorite spots downtown, from which one can witness the royal wedding.
