Then check out Scream Zone, four new thrill rides operated by Central Amusement International, which also created Luna Park on the former Astroland site (and battled with the boardwalk businesses).

TRIBECA?An irate Duane Street townhouse owner is accusing local star chef David Bouley of ruining the block. In a totally awesome lawsuit, lawyer Robert Curtis says the Bouley Studio eatery recklessly dumps its trash and ignores neighborhood complaints.

Yum! [NYDN]
