Baseball bats, socks with rocks in them, Vesuvio Playground mafia kids, etc. Eli Gesner is the latest guest on Transworld’s “When The Brooklyn Banks Were Dangerous” series, re-telling the famous Banks Halloween story that sounds like a cross between The Warriors and After Hours if both movies had skateboarders starring in them. Pretty sure he told it on an old Nine Club (“This dude just explained the plots of 20 different Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies“), but this one has the added bonus of being at the actual locations. P.S. If you witnessed the fallout of a certain incident last week, you can probably make the case of the Brooklyn Banks …still being …nevermind.

If you’ve had thoughts of skating that black marble plaza on 149th in The Bronx these past few years only to arrive and be like, “yeah, nah” once you caught a glimpse of the scene there — you might have a small window right now.
Leaving the WSP dosa guy off a “100 Best Food Trucks in America” list is insane.
