February 2, 2012 Weather: Cloudy, High of 46 Degrees.

Notices:
A play called “Dog Park”, about a real estate tycoon who wants to bulldoze a dog park and the neighbors who fight him, is running at the Drilling Company Theater, 236 West 78th Street, until February 12. Learn more here.

News:
A fire this morning at around 6 a.m. caused damage to the Days Inn Hotel on 94th Street near Broadway. Sixty firefighters battled the blaze and had it under control within about half an hour. The cause was unclear. (The story initially said incorrectly that the fire occurred in the  Duane Reade next door. Since initially posting it, DNAinfo updated their article.) (DNAinfo)

Upper West Side Cantor Phil Sherman is basically the circumcision king of New York. He has performed as many as nine in one day! (NY Times)

Lady Gaga was a no-show at the grand opening last night of Joanne, her dad’s new place on 68th. But Tony Bennett showed up. Bennett recently sketched Gaga in the buff. (DNAinfo)

Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate. A detailed statement on comments and WSR policy can be read here.
