NY restaurant leaves vulgar note on bill to group of elderly gals lunching
An 87-year-old grandmother and six of her elderly friends were appalled when their waitress dropped a check labeling their table 'Old bitches' at an upstate restaurant.
The seniors had been lunching at the casual cafe Deacon Blues in Watervliet, near Albany, on June 27 when the food fight flared up, according to a copy of the bill posted on Facebook.

'My 87-year-old Mimi and her friends went to Deacon Blues for lunch — a place they've been to many times. But this time, they were completely disrespected. When the bill came, the receipt labeled their table as 'Old b*tches,'' Keira DiNuzzo, one of the women's granddaughters, fumed on Facebook.
'This is how you treat elderly women — loyal customers?' she wrote. 'Deacon Blues, you owe them an apology.'

The group of seven ordered $12.50 worth of food, including a BLT sandwich and coffee, during the Friday lunch rush at 1:30 p.m. — one indication why the server, identified as Monica, may have been miffed, according to the check.

The waitress first clashed with the elderly gals when she learned that three people in the group couldn't make it, prompting her to allegedly snap, 'Well, it would be nice to let me know in the future,' according to DiNuzzo.
When the seniors sent back a water with 'something black floating' in it, the server allegedly 'responded with rudeness and no concern whatsoever,' according to DiNuzzo.

One of the restaurant's owners, Helen Wilkinson, apologized in a comment under DiNuzzo's post.

'We at Deacon Blues profusely apologize for the actions of our employees. Please do not think we condone this behavior toward our customers,' she wrote.
'Our customer base consists of many loyal senior customers who have made our business grow and have the utmost respect for them.'

Milford Entities of NYC allegedly scammed out of $19M — thanks to single phishing email
A well-known city firm that owns and manages luxury properties was allegedly scammed out of nearly $19 million thanks to a single phishing email, The Post has learned. Milford Entities/Management Company — whose tony properties include Liberty View and Liberty Luxe in Battery Park City — was the victim of thieving cybercriminals in early July, sources and emails show. The 'spoofing'' email led to the gargantuan sum getting accidentally transferred to a TD Bank account posing as the Battery Park City Authority, according to sources with knowledge of the situation and the internal correspondence. Advertisement Milford Entities/Management Company — the owner of Liberty Luxe in Battery City Park — lost nearly $19 million in a phishing scam. Google Maps The Department of Homeland Security is now leading a multiagency task force investigating the whopping fraud, according to sources and emails obtained by The Post. 'Last month, Milford Management was the victim of a fraud involving the theft of funds through the creation of a fraudulent bank account in the name of the Battery Park City Authority,' the Manhattan-based company said in a statement. Advertisement 'The theft involved buildings directly owned by Milford Management-related entities, as well as others the company manages,' it said. 'As this fraud is the subject of an ongoing law enforcement investigation, we will have no further comment on the matter.' The BPCA — a state entity that maintains and develops the Hudson River-side Manhattan neighborhood — confirmed it did not receive the company's quarterly payment due in early July. The luxury real estate firm transferred money to an account posing as the Battery Park City Authority. Google Maps Advertisement The lifted funds involved ground-lease payments and taxes, or PILOT fees, that are collected from Battery Park City apartment owners and sent to the BPCA on a quarterly basis. PILOT fees — or 'Payment In Lieu Of Taxes' — are essentially property taxes paid by condo owners to their building, which then sends the funds to the BPCA to cover operations. Milford Entities owns three buildings in Battery Park City and is the management company of at least six others in the trendy downtown neighborhood — collecting PILOT fees and ground-lease payments from more than 2,000 units. Every morning, the NY POSTcast offers a deep dive into the headlines with the Post's signature mix of politics, business, pop culture, true crime and everything in between. Subscribe here! Advertisement The board of managers at one luxury Battery Park residential tower managed by the firm was informed July 18 that $3.5 million worth of its quarterly dues were lost in the scam, an email shows. The BPC Homeowners Coalition, a non-profit composed of elected members representing 18 condos and 5,000 homeowners in the neighborhood, also sent out an email obtained by The Post warning residents in buildings unaffected by the scam to review their cybersecurity policy. 'This appears to have been the first cyber-attack in BPC, but it will not likely be the last,' the letter said. Justine Cuccia, president of the BPC, wrote, 'This is time for open, verbal dialogue between the condominium Boards, as this could have happened to any one of our building management agents, and so, to any one of us.'' BPCA said in a statement to The Post, 'The Battery Park City Authority has been made aware of a cyber incident resulting in payment issues that affected several buildings in Battery Park City. 'BPCA was not involved in this incident and its operations are not impacted. 'BPCA will continue to work with residents of the affected buildings, the property management company, and law enforcement agencies as the investigation continues.' DHS did not respond to The Post's request for comment.

Tulsi Gabbard tells ‘Pod Force One' about life on TSA watchlist: ‘Makes zero sense whatsoever'
Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard opened up to The Post's Miranda Devine about being harassed and followed by federal law enforcement after her name was added to a since-scrapped Transportation Security Administration watchlist. 'I was certain … that it was politically motivated,' Gabbard, a former Democratic congresswoman from Hawaii and ex-Democratic National Committee vice chair, said on the latest episode of Devine's 'Pod Force One,' out Wednesday. 'There was no other explanation for it, other than that. 'When I spoke to TSA agents in multiple airports who were just doing their jobs, but who, as they went through this extreme and in-depth search of me — and oh, by the way, my husband was also placed on this domestic terror watch list — they were like, 'Why are we doing this with you?'' the DNI recalled. Advertisement ''You are still serving as a lieutenant colonel in the US Army Reserve. You're a former member of Congress. This makes zero sense whatsoever.'' Gabbard and her husband, Abraham Williams, were flagged under the Quiet Skies program, in which federal air marshals would surveil individuals on domestic and international flights who were not already on existing watchlists. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ended the Quiet Skies program in June of this year, claiming it failed to prevent a single terrorist attack. Advertisement 4 Tulsi Gabbard alleged that the government was weaponized against her when she was placed on a watchlist. Ron Sachs – CNP for NY Post 4 The Quiet Skies program has since been ended. AP Gabbard's inclusion on the list was triggered by her attendance at a Vatican event in July 2024 that was organized by a European businessman who was on an FBI watch list, the New York Times reported in January. It is unclear why the businessman was of interest to federal authorities. As a result, the DNI told Devine, she was subject to intense searches of her clothing and luggage — 'sometimes 30-minute long, 40-minute long' before getting on any flight. Advertisement '[They would search] the lining of my luggage, after everything was removed; feeling down every jacket that I had, feeling down the seams of every single inch of my clothing,' Gabbard recalled. 'Again, these guys were doing what they were told to do. I wouldn't want them to be fired for not doing their job. But when you look at the consequences again of this politicization of intelligence, this is another example.' 4 Tulsi Gabbard wasn't sure whether a Clinton ally got her put on the Quiet Skies surveillance list. Getty Images The DNI also said that air marshals were ordered to 'surveil me and follow me and look at how many times did I pick up my phone while I'm in flight. Did I talk to any other people? Did I have any interesting conversations? Was there any movement that I made that seemed a little out of the ordinary? How many times do you get up and go and use the bathroom?' 'I didn't know until later the extent of how many air marshals they required to watch me and who had to type up reports … …from drop off, to move through the airport, to get on the plane, to landing at my destination and out to the curb.' Advertisement 'The real implication here is people will see me on TV criticizing Hillary Clinton's foreign policies, criticizing Kamala Harris' foreign policies,' Gabbard later added, 'and then very publicly [see] how the government and the intelligence is being weaponized against me, it can have a very chilling effect.' 4 The DNI is now in charge of coordinating government surveillance efforts and other intelligence operations. Ron Sachs – CNP for NY Post Gabbard, 44, also opened up about her drift from the Democratic Party. 'I joined the Democratic Party back in my early 20s because I had to pick one, and what I saw and was attracted to was really the values that I saw Dr. Martin Luther King promoting, the values that President John F. Kennedy, talked about … I saw a party that fought for the struggling, working man and woman in America, those who were just trying to take care of their families and put food on the table and provide a better future for their kids,' she recalled. 'Fast forward to where we are now, where you have people talking about this guy, [Zohran] Mamdani in New York, as the future of the Democratic Party, and he's a self-proclaimed socialist,' she went on. 'You look at AOC, same thing. 'If only the Democratic Party of today had the intellectual honesty to really question themselves about what party would President John F. Kennedy most align with in today's world that we live in.'

Maria Glod named Metro Editor
I'm thrilled to announce that Maria Glod will take on a new role as Metro Editor, driving our essential local coverage that serves our most loyal subscribers. No one in the building knows Metro — both the department and the region — better than Maria, who has spent her career on the desk. She has served since 2022 as Metro's deputy editor, and built a reputation across the newsroom for her collaboration, impeccable news judgment and empathetic and supportive leadership. She has been at the center of some of The Post's most ambitious storylines. She led coverage of the Paul Manafort trial in 2018, bringing together reporters from several desks to provide up-to-the-minute news in what became a precursor to the LUFs we use today. The live file combined news with smart context and analysis, deeply reported posts and reader-friendly explainers. She also had a key role in coverage of the Navy Yard mass shooting, the racial justice protests, police violence and rising homicides across the region. As deputy editor, she has overseen some of our sharpest coverage of local education, criminal justice, politics and enterprise. She helped coordinate reporting across desks of the midair collision in late January of an airplane and military helicopter and, more recently, coverage of the killings of two Israeli embassy workers outside the Capital Jewish Museum. As a reporter, Maria helped cover the cases of the D.C. snipers, some of the first DNA exonerations and racial disparities in Fairfax County schools. She was a reporter in our bureaus in Loudoun, Fairfax and Prince George's counties, as well as downtown, before shifting to editing in 2011. She joined The Post in 1997 as a two-year intern, assigned to Loudoun County as a cops reporter, and still misses wandering around Virginia in search of stories.
