In the Neighborhood: It's Move-In Day at NYU!
Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Isn't that what they say? Around Village Voice headquarters, home to this very news blog Runnin' Scared, hundreds of neophytes are swarming K-Mart because their mothers will not be quiet about stocking the dorm room with a shampoo holder and Tylenol.

My advice: Start drinking heavily.
Oh, they will. But they have to wait for their parents to leave first.
Update: AVOID THIS AREA AS IF YOUR LIFE DEPENDED ON IT.
