Good Friday afternoon in New York City, where the lights will stay on later at select ball fields this summer. 
Here's what else is happening: 
The big wooden bear outside Q Florist on Columbus Ave and West 82nd Street is ready for the NBA Finals. 
A state appeals court ruled this week that New York City has to notify the public within four hours every time sewage is discharged into a local waterway. 
Earlier this week, Joe and Jill Biden took their granddaughter to an Upper East Side Italian restaurant that Jane Fonda called "random," though allegedly they have good artichokes. 
Discount airliner Ryanair said it's having to divert an average of one flight a day due to drunken passenger shenanigans, but the push to ban or limit morning pints at British airports is coming up against some pushback. 
The average school district superintendent in New Jersey now makes more than $200,000 a year. 
You can do some good birding without leaving a New Jersey backyard. 
I want these World Cup stickers. 
And finally, weekend shimmy:
