Good morning and happy Tuesday. We’re looking at much the same as yesterday: mostly sunny skies, a little cloud building in the afternoon and a light breeze. Temperatures will climb five degrees higher today to around 80 degrees — with the 90s waiting for us by the weekend — so enjoy the milder heat while it lasts.

STRINGER BELL

Breed: Mixed breed cat

What makes me meow: Watching the pigeons on the fire escape.  If this window ever opens, those pigeons are mine.

Pet Confession: When not demanding a Churu, she spends her day running a highly demanding, 18-hour beauty-sleep monopoly.

Freeze Frame

Knicks Watch Party 10th Ave

Catie headed out to W45th Street and 10th Avenue last night to photograph the now regular, but unofficial, Knicks watch party outside Healthy Market. The game was a nail-biter: the Knicks got within two points with nine seconds left, but couldn’t quite tie it up. This time around the crowd spilled toward The Marshal and into two lanes of 10th Avenue, with passing cars honking. Police arrived in the fourth quarter to block off the second lane, but the energy kept building. Loud, packed, a little chaotic — and very New York. Go Knicks!
