Columbia coach Megan Griffith returns from suspension for big game vs. Michigan

Without head coach Megan Griffith on the sidelines for its first three games of the season, the Columbia women’s basketball team didn’t just survive — it thrived. The Lions went 3-0 against Davidson, Rhode Island and Belmont, a trio of squads that ranked in the top 110 of NET last year, a metric the NCAA uses to sort teams. Columbia won those games by an average margin of 13.3 points with associate coach Tyler Cordell making the in-game decisions and adjustments. “Yeah, she should just take my job,” Griffith said with a laugh during a Zoom call with reporters. “What I loved about it was how she just jumped right into it. I think Ty really understood the game planning aspect from my standpoint and how I think about it, and she put her spin on it. Which for her, that is so easy because she built the program with me.” Griffith is now back on the sidelines for Columbia following a three-game suspension , returning to the lead chair on the bench for perhaps the toughest stretch of the Lions’ schedule. On Thursday, Nov. 12, they’ll host No. 2 Michigan at Levien Gymnasium in New York City, travel to

A 24-year-old chef lowered $25 steak dinners from his Brooklyn apartment window by pulley, then one person reportedly kept filing 311 complaints

Some Guy’s House, a Brooklyn steak pop-up that lowered dinners from an apartment window, has shut down after only about two weeks, following a string of complaints to the city. Chef Chianli Hang, 24, ran the pop-up, and its website now says it is “no longer operating” and that all current and upcoming orders are being refunded, as reported by Dexerto . Hang’s landlord reportedly told him that one person had filed multiple complaints with New York City’s 311 system. Six complaints were reportedly filed about the pop-up, and two of them led to written warnings from the city’s Department of Health being sent to the landlord. “We were really excited for the send-off. But then we got shut down,” Hang said. The group had planned to operate for one more week, fill around 100 pre-orders, and possibly throw a DJ-backed send-off party. However, the landlord reportedly worried the apartment might be functioning as a full-scale commercial kitchen. The pulley idea only lasted about two weeks Hang and five friends launched Some Guy’s House as a limited food experiment and social media project. Instead of a storefront, they used a homemade pulley system to lower steak dinners from their second-floor

Passaic County files eminent domain lawsuit over $106M project

Two weeks after breaking ground on a $106.4 million government complex in Paterson, Passaic County went to court to secure a 242-square-foot strip of neighboring property after it was unable to reach a deal with the owner. The county filed an eminent domain lawsuit seeking temporary use of the neighboring land for two years to access the construction site. The county offered $5,600 to use 241.9 square feet of a commercial property at 332-344 Main St. for two years but could not reach an agreement with its owner, Empire Package LLC, said a complaint filed Oct. 27 in state Superior Court. Story continues below photo gallery. The property borders the former Passaic County Jail site at 11 Marshall St., where a six-story office building and parking garage are planned. The county had the land appraised in September by Wade Appraisal LLC of Metuchen. The firm valued it at $115 per square foot and used a 10% annual rental rate to calculate the cost of the two-year easement. That came to $5,564, with no additional damages assessed for the rest of the property. The county set its offer at $5,600 and sent it by mail Sept. 25, with another copy delivered

Raise the Age adds chaos to juvenile detention — and to NYC’s streets

“You go to the park to sit there and play with your friends, not to get shot.” That was 14-year-old Miral Alamouri talking to The Post about her little sister Maya, age 12, who was caught in the crossfire of a gang shootout in The Bronx last month. One of the suspects, we learned last week , is 13. Violent crimes among juveniles in New York are rising fast. And thanks to the entirely foreseeable overcrowding of the city’s juvenile detention facilities, they’re about to get much worse. New York’s “Raise the Age” law, phased in during 2019, has coincided with a significant increase in juvenile crime . Compare the stats from 2020 to those of 2025: The number of juvenile rape victims went from 434 to 571, while felony assaults on kids went from 1,297 to 2,610, and robbery went from 924 to 1,570. Youth arrests have also risen substantially — for murder from 32 to 42, for instance — despite a drop in the youth population. But while their violent offenses have continued to go up , our capacity for keeping these offenders off the streets and rehabilitating them has fallen. Raise the Age forced all the 16-
