2. A new hotel quietly opened on the Bowery in the place of the former Sister City. The Untitled at 3 Freeman Alley was apparently designed to be booked through Airbnb, and is seeking a full liquor license six months after its opening.

3. Bee Bee, a rescue dog, was saved by the NYPD Emergency Service Unit after it fell into the frigid East River. Can Liu, a worker at Animal Haven. was walking the dog along with two of his own near the South Street Seaport when an off-leash dog came and attacked his Rottweiler.
