Mayor: Guns from out of state are killing us City crime. Ninety percent of guns used in crimes are from another state. New Yorkers can thank Congress and other state legislatures for much of the gun crime that occurs in the city, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said on Wednesday, citing new statistics from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives showing that 90 percent of traceable guns used in crimes in the city in 2011 came from out of the state. That’s up from 85 percent in 2009. “That means — in addition to our tough enforcement efforts inside the five boroughs — we have to pay attention to gun laws outside of the city,” Bloomberg said. While touting the steadily dropping num-

ber of shootings and murders in the city — almost 30 percent fewer than last year’s record low — as an indicator of the NYPD’s success in keeping the city safe, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly said there’s room for improvement to come from outside the state. The greatest number of out-of-state guns used in city crimes came from Virginia and North Carolina, two states which the mayor’s advisor John Feinblatt said don’t have background checks, and recently rolled back the gun control laws they had in place. “Unfortunately, each of the states on this list are very weak and don’t have any of the laws that we think make a difference,” Feinblatt said.

In the wake of Sandy, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority secured $200 million of insurance protection to pay for future repairs in the event of another storm with similar water surges. Because of the surge from Sandy — which reached some 14 feet — several subways tunnels and rails were damaged or completely flooded.

The new insurance protection covers repairs incurred from surges following any hurricane, tropical cyclones or storms through August 2016 when water levels reach similar heights. MTA head Thomas Prendergast said it was “exceedingly difficult” for the authority to obtain insurance through traditional avenues.

“But as a result of this savvy and novel reinsurance arrangement, we are now in a stronger position should our area, God forbid, face another largescale storm-surge event within the next three years,” Prendergast said in a statement. MetroCat Re LTD. funded the protection through “catastrophe bonds.” ANNA SANDERS

New Yorkers dumped vodka into the gutter outside the Russian Consulate on the Upper East Side Wednesday during a protest of the country’s recently enacted anti-gay law. “We should not be silent when a country is being oppressive to our friends,” said Duncan Osborne, a member of Queer Nation, which helped organize the demonstration. About 100 protestors picketed, calling for the Russian government to repeal a law passed that bans “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations.” The law has led to an increase in hate crimes, activists said, and would affect tourists, journalists and anyone publicly sharing a pro-gay message. The demonstration in New York was part of a string of protests and

boycotts nationwide in responses to the tough measure and another proposed law that would remove children from gay parents. “It’s really hard to believe that we are free when it’s limited to some place or some country,” said Nina Long, co-founder of the Russian-Speaking American LGBTQ Association and citizen of Belarus, just west of Russia. Chanting “We’re here, we’re queer, we’re drinking only beer,” the group asked the city to boycott all Russian products — including vodka. Two bartenders from Boxers NYC, a gay sports bar in Chelsea, dumped six bottles vodka onto the street during the demonstration. Last week, the bar stopped selling all

U.S. economic growth unexpectedly accelerated in the second quarter, laying a firmer foundation for the rest of the year that could bring the Federal Reserve a step closer to cutting back its monetary stimulus.

THE UNSTOPPABLE WEINER ROAST I was rushing though the St. Louis Airport when a security guard said, “What’s the hurry? Is Weiner finally dropping out?â€? We both laughed, I boarded my plane and then I started thinking about this idea that seems obvious to many voters: The former congressman is so badly damaged by his sexting scandal that he ought to resign from the New York mayor’s race. And in fairly short order I came to a conclusion: If I were Anthony Weiner, I’d keep running. I mean, why not? Let’s break it down. Sure, the polls are roasting Weiner at the moment (pun definitely intended), and while the numbers say Christine Quinn would probably trounce him if the vote were held today ‌ um ‌ it’s not being held today.

Put it this way: A long shot is better than no shot, which is what he’ll have if he quits. What about fundraising, you say? Money is always an issue in any political race, but Weiner came into this contest with almost $5 million in his war chest, and he’s added to it since. He could wind up squeezed in the home stretch (OK, that pun is intended too), but for now it’s more than

enough to keep the ads rolling and the Twitter account cranking. Decorum? Please. Shame is hardly the trump card it was in the 1920s, and once selfies of your “Little Lawmaker� have been emailed around the globe, what else is there to lose? I imagine there are some Germans in a Starbucks at this instant giggling over Berlinspritzer frappuccinos: “Frau Linkmeyer, look! Herr Weiner! Ha ha ha!� Perhaps that’s the bottom line. Many people think he should drop out to spare himself further humiliation, but there may be no pride to salvage here. Indeed, in modern politics the only embarrassment that seems to matter anymore comes from losing, and if he somehow avoids that, Weiner won’t be tweeting. He’ll be crowing.

Official says no one fired over Snowden

Listening in. Intelligence officials have said the programs helped thwart terror attacks.

The deputy director of the U.S. National Security Agency said on Wednesday that no one had been fired and no one had offered to resign over former security contractor Edward Snowden’s ability to take large amounts of classified data from agency computers. John Inglis said, “No,” when asked at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing if anyone had been fired over the sweeping NSA surveillance programs exposed by Snowden. Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy, chairman of the committee, questioned Inglis sharply about how Snowden had managed to take the data. Inglis said the NSA did not yet know how its safeguards had failed and expected to discover that “over weeks and months.” REUTERS

Much of what is contained in the documents has already been divulged in public hearings by intelligence officials as they sought to detail what was initially disclosed by Snowden.

Accused of the nation’s biggest-ever security leak, Bradley Manning was vilified by the government for causing irreparable damage to American national interests. In retrospect, the harm he caused seems to have been overplayed. A military judge cleared Manning of the most serious charge against him — aiding the enemy — in a verdict that indicated the soldier’s violations, while criminal, were not as dire

as prosecutors had alleged. Manning’s revelations to WikiLeaks, including hundreds of thousands of U.S. diplomatic cables and raw intelligence reports from the Iraqi and Afghan battlefields, violated his military oath and “put real lives and real careers at risk,” said former State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley. But the strategic damage to the United States — to its reputation and its ability to work with allies and conduct diplomacy — “was transitory,” said Crowley, who resigned in 2011 after publicly criticizing the Pentagon’s treatment of Manning in a military prison.

Comic thriller. Denzel and Marky Mark are oddly compelling buddies in “2 Guns.” Like nearly everything that gets cranked out as summer movie entertainment these days, “2 Guns” is based on a comic book. But it’s not that kind of comic. Steven Grant’s source is a grounded, albeit still ridiculous, look at two undercover agents. It’s not a stylish “Sin City” noir clone; Grant also writes comics spun from “CSI.” The splashy, $90 million film version Review ‘2 Guns’ •

has less in common with anything currently in multiplexes, but plenty to do with the grim, sleazy, cheerfully pessimistic films Hollywood regularly and improbably cranked out during the 1970s. It’s not one of those films itself, but it’s closer than we deserve. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg play members of different agencies involved in taking down a Mexican drug cartel. Neither initially knows the other is undercover. One of the first acts in the film is for Wahlberg to shoot off the heads of various chickens buried up to their necks in dirt — which is how Sam Peckinpah’s great “Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid” opens. Other gratuitous nods to the whiskey-soaked director abound, as do ones to “Charley Varrick,” a crime saga led by a taciturn, coldblooded Walter Matthau. If the script, by “Brotherhood” creator Blake Masters, intimately understands these films and their world-weary vision, it doesn’t feel compelled to recreate them completely. Our leads get embroiled in the convoluted

pursuit of stolen bank money, which is desired by the Navy (led by James Marsden), the CIA (led by Bill Paxton) and the southof-the-border cartel (led by Edward James Olmos). Olmos’ character is the most exhausted, tired of being jerked around by his smug connections up north. But Paxton is the scariest. Never speaking above a whisper, and allowing his

Louisiana-bred words to flow like molasses, he’s not above murder, often by way of Russian Roulette focused on one’s crotch. But the tone, while weathered, is goofy. This is a comedy with no straight man. Washington and Wahlberg prove an oddly compelling duo, swapping quips and engaging in macho one-upmanship. Icelandic director Baltasar

Kormakur (“Contraband”) adopts a style that’s part Walter Hill — all grizzled behavior and Ry Cooderesque slide guitar scoring — and part Richard Lester. One grisly interrogation is amusingly set in a garage, where the sensor keeps turning off the light, forcing our leads to awkwardly swat around their arms to get it back on. The treatment of government

agencies is incredibly cynical, even for a ‘70s throwback film. But the sense of humor tempers that. And though it falls apart during the climax, one has to love where the gobs of money — half the film’s budget, mind you — ultimately wind up.

Why so serious? Interview. Denzel Washington and Mark Wahlberg talk about being funny in “2 Guns.�

Denzel Washington is funny. He just doesn’t do funny movies. People have told him how good he is with a joke. He agrees and he doesn’t. “I’m quick. But being funny on purpose, take after take — I don’t know. It’s new territory.� Indeed, he hasn’t done a full-on funny film since the ghost comedy “Heart Condition,� opposite Bob Hoskins in 1990. “2 Guns� isn’t a full-on comedy. It’s a ‘70s-style

throwback thriller, starring he and Mark Wahlberg as undercover government agents embroiled in the pursuit of a booty of stolen cash. But he and Wahlberg, longtime friends finally working together, have great chemistry, and the tone of the film allows them to goof around in between action scenes. “Especially coming off ‘Flight,’� Washington says, “I was looking to do something where I had more fun.� Wahlberg had already been attached to the project, which was a big selling point for him. “Mark is not just funny, but he has a warmth and a heart.� Not that he wanted to go that far. “I’m not ready to be spanked yet, not right out of the gate� he says, al-

explains. “We felt like the two had to be really formidable opponents, to earn that camaraderie, to earn that trust in one another.� Asked how they handle comedy or drama, Wahlberg says there’s little difference. “I approach everything the same: I try to make it as real as possible,�

he says. “If you’re going to make people laugh or cry, it’s the same thing. But if I start doing pratfalls, someone please pull the plug.� Washington has his own methods. “I try to bring my own personality to the parts, some kind of personal connection,� he explains.

SMART, TENSE AND TOUGH.

“ Although Ozzy Osbourne sings the words to Black Sabbath songs, it is bassist Geezer Butler who has always written them. Famously, Ozzy hasn’t always understood them. Butler shares with a laugh that this dynamic still holds true today with their new album, “13,” which to everyone’s surprise, including the band members, reached No. 1 on the charts — a first for the band. A lot of the imagery promoting your tour is from 1978’s “Never Say Die” album, which is the last full album with Ozzy. Why is that? I think probably seeing it on Iron Man in “The Avengers.” That was sort of great because Robert Downey Jr. had that particular T-shirt on ... and it became a top-selling T-shirt in England, so we thought, “Cash in on it!” You scored your first No. 1 album more than 40 years after your first album. Yeah, it totally flabbergasted us. We really didn’t expect No. 1. We thought it would do reasonably well, but if someone asked me the week before if I

Ozzy always came up with the vocal lines ... and I’ll fill out the lyrics. It’s always the last thing to go on. I remember an anecdote about after you had recorded “Paranoid,” Ozzy asked what the word meant. Is that true? Yes. [Laughs]. Anything like that happen this time around? Oh yeah, he can’t pronounce zeitgeist. We have a song called “Zeitgeist” on the album and Ozzy could never remember the word.

Sabbath kitty sabbath On Butler’s personal website, he has adorable photos of his many cats. This doesn’t seem very Black Sabbath, but what is even less Black Sabbath is that they’re all named after rappers! “Chingy was the first; Chingy and Nelly,” recounts Butler. “Because we used to live in St. Louis, so we were naming them after St. Louis rappers and then kept adding to the family. So, then we had to expand outside of St. Louis and that’s where Snoop and Biggie and Em came from.”

‘The Spectacular Now’ James Ponsoldt’s wellreceived romantic indie performs a stark twist on the “She’s All That” premise: A popular high schooler (Miles Teller) woos a nerd (Shailene Woodley) under ulterior motives, only to fall for her for real. But maybe they’re terrible for each other?

A dozen victories

2002: Kelly Clarkson’s five studio albums have sold more than 20 million units worldwide. Those two Grammys aren’t too shabby either. 2003: Ruben Studdard had two top 10 hits and his debut album went platinum. His label dropped him in 2006. Last month he announced that he’ll be on the next season of the “Biggest Loser.” 2004: Fantasia Barrino’s first single went to No. 1 and her debut album went platinum. Her 2013 album, “Side Effects of You” debuted at No. 1 on the R&B charts. Her 2005 memoir was a New York Times best-seller, she was the subject of a 2010 reality show and she has also found success on Broadway. 2005: Carrie Underwood is statistically the most successful “Idol” winner, having sold more than 14 million albums and 30 million singles worldwide. She’s won six Grammys and has had 12 No. 1 singles on the country charts. She will star in NBC’s live broadcast of “The Sound of Music” in December.

and his second reached No. 7 on the charts. 2009: Kris Allen’s album debuted at No. 11, with the weakest sales by any contestant. In personal triumphs though, he is married and welcomed a son into the world earlier this week. 2010: Lee DeWyze’s album debuted at No. 19. Less than a year later, he was dropped from RCA. His next album, “Frames,” is set to release at the end of this month. 2011: Scotty McCreery’s album debuted at No. 1. If you don’t know who he is, it’s probably because you don’t listen to country music. 2012: Phillip Phillips’ coronation song sold more digital copies than any other “Idol” coronation song. His debut album was released in November and peaked at No. 4. 2013: Candice Glover’s debut single had the worst first-week sales of any “Idol” winner. Her debut album is set to release in October.

2006: Taylor Hicks’ first single debuted at No. 1. He was dropped from his label in 2008, but has continued to release music. Last year he began a Las Vegas residency, and is the first “Idol” alum to have done so. 2007: Jordin Sparks’ debut album went platinum, and her sophomore album followed suit. She has also found success on Broadway, and her film “Sparkle” grossed $12 million. 2008: David Cook’s debut went platinum

Wait and sing. Ryan Seacrest and company take to the Northeast this weekend, but will a show that’s become so embattled get a crowd? Of course! Twelve seasons of “American Idol” have shown that even if you beat the odds and win the competition, it’s hardly a guarantee of success within the music industry. The direct link to fame that the show seemed to initially provide has eroded, and the number of winners who fail to maintain success after their initial splashes is stifling. But that won’t stop thousands of hopefuls from making the trip to Gillette Stadium in Foxboro, Mass. — the only audition in the Northeast — on Friday and Saturday. Neither will the fact that this past season was “American Idol”’s worst rated since the show began airing in 2002. In fact, it’s doubtful that any of the difficulties that the show is facing will impact anybody who planned to set up camp outside of the stadium to audition for a group of strangers. (They don’t sing for the celebrity judges you see on TV in the first few rounds.) Let’s review the current woes of the show: The judges’ table will feature only one returning judge after feuding divas Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj and veteran Randy Jackson announced that they won’t do another season. Executive producer Nigel Lythgoe was fired in June. And most recently, 10 former contestants filed a suit against senior executives last week, claiming

“I can only speak for myself when I say that the ‘Idol’ platform from which I came has allowed me to be able to work almost a decade in entertainment.” Taylor Hicks that the show exploited the criminal backgrounds of African-American contestants to “publicly humiliate — with maximum fanfare — virtually every top-ranking black ‘American Idol’ contestant who had a record of arrest.” It’s doubtful that even this hint of public scandal will deter anybody who was al-

Literally 300, maybe 400 get through for the next round, which is the executive producer round, and then they make the decision if it’s going to fit for TV. The [celebrity] judges see more people than you’d think though. They see 120 people and we do 60 a day. Then maybe 15 people [from each city] actually make it on the show.”

can Idol. / ANNETTE BROWN/FOX

“Idol” since the show’s inception, starting out as an associate producer. The landscape for finding talent is more densely populated than it was in 2002. In addition to the rise of self-uploading technology on sites like YouTube, talent competitions like NBC’s “The Voice” and “America’s Got

Even the losers get lucky

sometimes. Jennifer Hudson placed seventh in the third season of “Idol.” Not winning probably doesn’t bother her much now. She’s the only “Idol”

alum to win an Academy Award and a Grammy. Adam Lambert, Katharine McPhee, Chris Daughtry and Clay Aiken are other contestants who didn’t

win, but have found success after their “Idol” tenure, arguably even more success than the winners of their respective seasons.

Talent” all followed in the wake of “Idol’s” success. This means it’s more difficult for the talent to find an audience, no matter which show they choose. Season 5 winner Taylor Hicks tells Metro that he is happy to have won when he did, because while “Idol” itself is competitive, now that the show has to compete with other competitions, it’s even more of a challenge. “I think it is harder because the marketplace is saturated with similar shows,” he says. “You have to work extremely hard at creating, making and sustaining your name. The show’s gonna give you a name, but in this day and age, sustaining it is very tough.” But Lynn says what those other shows don’t have is a legacy. “The lucky thing that

we have going for us is that there are people that have grown up with ‘American Idol.’ They don’t know television without it,” he says. “I have people telling me, especially 15-year-olds, [how excited they are] that they’re finally old enough to try out.” Not everybody in the music industry seems to think this is a good thing. In March, Dave Grohl told the in-flight magazine Delta Sky that he thought shows like “Idol” and “The Voice” were “destroying the next generation of musicians.” His quote instantly went viral. “I think about kids watching a TV show like ‘American Idol’ or ‘The Voice,’ then they think, ‘Oh, OK, that’s how you become a musician, you stand in line for eight f— ing hours with 800 people at a convention center and

then you sing your heart out for someone and then they tell you it’s not f—ing good enough,’” he ranted. He then encouraged aspiring musicians to buy crappy instruments and take time to be bad at playing, but to have a good time doing so with friends, saying that’s what happened with Nirvana. A televised reality competition doesn’t prepare musicians for the grimy side of business that they would see firsthand, slugging it out in the clubs and coming up through the traditional channels. Hicks cautions anybody going out for a show like “Idol” now: “There’s show and there’s show business. Doing the show and performing is the easy part. The actual business of performing is a completely different monster, and I think nowadays you really have

to be especially intuitive and smart about both of them or you’ll get taken for the proverbial ride.” Lynn says watching firsthand as stars graduate from “Idol” to the music industry at large has been fascinating. “Some winners become Carrie Underwood, and some become Lee DeWyze,” he says, before clarifying that DeWyze shouldn’t be deemed a failure because he hasn’t had the mega success that Underwood has. “Not everybody is going to be a superstar,” he says, “but they’re all Idols.”

THE WORD Alexandra Cavallo takes on the world of gossip.

Justin Bieber got turned away at a club. / WIREIMAGE

Bieber is not up in da club Oh man, I almost feel sorry for Justin Bieber. Almost. But then I think about what a little douche that twerp is, and all the money he’s probably got piled up in a mansion-sized McDonald’s ball pit that he rolls around in every night — shirtless — like Scrooge McDuck, and I don’t feel all that sorry. It’s pretty clear,

though, that Baby Biebs’ (ahem, excuse me, Young Adult Biebs) star is on the swift wane. Not only is the poor kid getting booed off the same stages from which he once received the panties of crazed young ladies, but now the guy can’t even get into a club in the Meatpacking District. And, as anyone who lives in NYC will tell you,

any bro with a fat wallet and $30 worth of hair gel on his person can get into a club in the Meatpacking District. Not Bieber, however, according to a TMZ report. Allegedly, Bieber was turned away for being 19 (understandable), though I’m pretty sure it’s because nobody’s interested anymore.

How rude! That’s probably what Jodi Sweetin (aka Stephanie Tanner) is saying to all the nosy journos going around writing that she’s in rehab again, because former child stars try to use their characters’ key catchphrases as often as possible — it helps remind people that they were once pretty famous and that the mess they’ve since made of their adult lives is no big deal. Jokes aside, the story of Sweetin’s life post-”Full House” is actually a sad

Which is why it really is pretty rude that she’s now battling rumors (she’s claiming they are 100 percent unfounded) that she, herself, is back on meth and back in rehab.

Dr. Malkin’s work was featured on

Here’s the deal: We have fairly rigid ideas about how to have “the talk.” It usually goes something like this: Person X and Person Y hang out. Repeat as necessary. Things begin to feel serious; either X or Y wonders whether or not the relationship is exclusive: “Hmmm, is my guy/ gal seeing other people? Will they be pissed off if I do?” It’s go time to DTR (define the relationship). You have a conversation about couplehood — but there’s a problem. Although we’re often confronted by smiling pairs of the opposite sex and same ethnicity couples in toothpaste commercials and TV shows, we don’t necessarily have strong guidance regarding how to conduct healthy, affirming dialogues about relationships that do not fit neatly inside the one-size boxes that are supposed to fit all relationships. Here’s how to talk about monogamy (or non-monogamy) in a way that respects all parties.

Do’s and Don’ts

•

DO realize you are an important participant in the conversation — so show up! You are most likely to find a partner who will value your desires and intentions when you express them honestly.

•

DON’T say what you think the other person wants to hear. Say what you mean.

•

DO acknowledge the difference between privacy and secrecy. Privacy is what you do without your partner’s knowledge. Secrecy is willfully keeping information from your partner that should likely be revealed. Fantasizing about having sex with an ex is a private thought. Hooking up with your ex while maintaining a facade of monogamy with your current partner is a secret action.

•

DON’T forget “the talk” should be an ongoing conversation — things change.

•

DO be explicitly clear to avoid misunderstandings. For example, if you say you want to “open up” the relationship, discuss whether that means you’ll independently see other people or collectively agree to add partners to your relationship.

•

DON’T assume your partner doesn’t share your desires. Maybe they want a monogamous relationship, too. Maybe neither of you do.

•

DO understand that we often become aware of boundaries only after we’ve brushed against them. While you or your lover might believe you are comfortable with a particular decision, feelings might change once actions are taken.

•

DON’T forget that the possibilities are endless. Your relationship can be whatever you and your bed buddy want it to be.

Cold soups for hot days Slurp. Chill out with a bowl of something cold.

check out the off-themenu French Onion Soup Burger.

There’s nothing more refreshing on a sweltering summer New York City day than a bowl of soup. Chilled soup, that is. Slurpable refreshers are all the rage these days — during the mid-month heat wave, cold soup orders on Seamless.com jumped 27 percent. Here are a few picks we’re excited about.

85 10th Ave., 212-400-6699 How’s this for a perfect summer date: a walk on the High Line, a jaunt through Chelsea Market and then dinner inside the tap room at Tom Colicchio’s seasonal delight. Order the corn chowder, which makes use of corn from the North Fork.

Colicchio & Sons’ chilled corn soup is garnished with fennel pollen, herbs, black pepper and roasted corn. PROVIDED

Hecho en Dumbo 354 Bowery, 212-937-4245 In 2007, Hecho en Dumbo was a tiny pop-up with a dream; now, it’s a permanent LES joint with a full menu of Mexican fare. The summer offerings include sopa de pepino: a bright, summery mix of English cucumber, fennel, jalapeño, lemon and caramelized oranges.

MEREDITH ENGEL

Shellfish is a specialty at George Mendes’ homage to the Iberian Peninsula, so it’s no surprise you’ll find bits of lobster atop his early tomato gazpacho, which is also seasoned with cucumber, basil and mint.

BLT Fish 21 W. 17th St., Third Fl., 212-691-8888

Executive chef Luke Venner puts a gourmet twist on his tomato soup: The smoked gazpacho consomme is served with “fruits de mer” (sea urchin and shrimp) plus blackberry and sea beans, a stalky green veg similar to green beans.

ALDEA’S GAZPACHO IS HEAVY ON THE FISH. / PROVIDED

For his Kyra Domatosoupa, chef Jim Botsacos meshes beefsteak tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers and olive oil — sounds like a liquefied Greek salad to us. The soup is topped with a thin spread of olive tapenade.

Gotham Bar and Grill 12 E. 12th St., 212-620-4020

Strawberries add just a touch of sweetness to the chilled tomato soup at Alfred Portale’s nearly 30-year-old classic New York eatery. The dish also showcases cucumber, lemon verbena and red onion.

Cocktail of the week

Purple Harris Your 7-11 Slurpee just got a major upgrade. Hit Battery Harris, the Williamsburg garageturned-beer garden, for a Purple Harris Frozie when a brewski just won’t do. The cool concoction consists of passion fruit, pisco and bitters, plus the joint’s house-made chicha morada, which is a simmered emulsion of purple corn, apples, pineapple, grapefruit, passion fruit, quince, cinnamon and cloves. It’s all blended via a slushy machine and served with a grapefruit peel.

Where guests get ‘very drunk and very happy’ Hot chef. Shane Lyons just wants you to have a good time — and eat duck. Chicken-fried duck and waffles? Shots with the head chef? It’s just a regular day at Tribeca’s recently opened Distilled. Spearheaded by 25-year-old chef Shane Lyons, this trendy eatery serves up comfort food in an even more comforting atmosphere. Since opening its doors in June, it’s quickly becoming a hot spot in the neighborhood. Lyons told us about food and fun at his eatery. When did you start cooking? I started cooking with my mom around 3 or 4. I got my first French knife, which was her knife from culinary school, at 5 or 6. My first restaurant job was washing dishes at a little catering place in L.A. at the age of 12. Both of your parents are expert chefs. What was it like growing up in that environment? It was great in that I ate a lot of good food. When I was really young, my mom was the executive chef at a hotel, so I didn’t see her very often, but it was fun because they would teach me things before most people had a chance to learn them. It was like growing up in a mini culinary school.

Visit Shane Lyons at Distilled (211 W. Broadway, 212-601-9514). / PROVIDED

How do you think being a younger chef affects you in the kitchen? I think that age only has whatever value you place on it. I personally respect experience and maturity, so being a young leader you have to always maintain composure. Sometimes I feel that being younger, I have to strive to be more mature because people will look for holes to punch in you for that reason. Luckily, I really haven’t had that issue, though. Everyone on my crew is great and we all respect each other’s work. What’s the atmosphere like at Distilled? Fun! We have a lot of fun at the restaurant. The whole staff just wanted to create an environment where the guest walks in and you’re just having fun. There’s great music, great food, great drinks

and you’re having a good time; it’s a wonderful culture. My partners and I are kind of goofy, and while we take what we do very seriously, we realize that we are hosting a party of sorts. When people sit at my chef’s counter, the first thing that I ask them is, “Do you want a shot of moonshine?” It’s just a fun way to get things going and by the end of the day the customer leaves very drunk and very happy. What’s your favorite item to cook from the menu? It’s the smaller things that I really get a kick out of, like smoking the duck breast or curing the duck for the duck and waffles. I’m always curious how it’ll turn out, and every time it just tastes amazing.

Cancer | June 21-July 22. Your instincts to succeed could be more acute than usual, making success for you far more likely once you get a chance to clarify your objectives and motives. BERNICE BEDE OSOL

I’ve been a youth worker for approximately 10 years and we’ve fought against a steady decline in the number of summer positions available to teenagers. If you’d done a little research, you’d have known this. The “follow these steps” tone of your article is setting teenagers, and their parents, up for failure. Even as our economy tries to recover fully, adults are still give preference in jobs traditionally held by teens, i.e., retail and fast food.

Weiner’s lost the public’s trust Re: ‘Of vice and men’ (Metro, July 31) I think the letters responding to letter writer Owen Duncan’s original statements disregard a key point. Weiner’s sexting habit continued after his 2011 resignation, which discredits his apology. Cheaters can certainly still make brilliant public officials, but public office requires a great deal of credibility; Anthony Weiner has lost his. ANTHONY P. FARRELL, VIA EMAIL

Killing time

A-Rod to play sim game Alex Rodriguez will get a chance to play in a simulated game Aug. 1 as he bides his time before MLB announces his suspension. When that suspension will come is anyone’s guess, though reports peg it happening sometime on or before Aug. 2. Rodriguez is working back from a strained quadriceps.

Smith brushes aside criticism over fitness NFL. The Jets’ rookie was criticized by NFL Network during his first week in camp. Jets head coach Rex Ryan joked with the media that rookie quarterback Geno Smith isn’t ready to run a marathon, but questions about conditioning are a very serious matter to Smith. NFL Network’s Brian Baldinger reported on July 29 that Smith appeared out of shape after running sprints following the morning practice session. In the report, Baldinger said, “Geno Smith looked like he had done no conditioning,” and called his performance in the gassers, which included the other three quarterbacks on the roster, “embarrassing.”

Marathon training Ryan played the criticism for laughs on July 31. •

“It sounds like we’re training for the Olympics or he’s going to run … the marathon. [Then] we might be in trouble,” Ryan joked. “I haven’t seen that in him. He seems fine to me.”

Smith shrugged off the questions about his conditioning when asked his opinion on Baldinger’s report. “I have none, that’s his opinion,” Smith said. “My coaches are the ones who evaluate me, so I haven’t heard that from them. So, I don’t have anything to say to that.”

Yankees, Mets stand pat at trade deadline The July 31 trade deadline came and went without any excitement in New York.

general manager Brian Cashman said. “We certainly explored it enough. [Alfonso] Soriano was the big bat we got.” The Yankees traded for Soriano on July 26. The Mets were in the sellers’ market, but did not find anyone to take Marlon Byrd or Bobby Parnell. The team had discussions about dealing both players, according to reports, but were content to keep them unless they received significant prospects in return. METRO

The Giants have a familiar face in camp this summer, but he won’t be strapping on the pads. Former Giants cornerback Sam Madison has been a welcome addition to head coach Tom Coughlin’s arsenal of assistant coaches and staff. Madison has been working with the defensive backs, and to a man, they’re all excited to have him in the mix. The veterans, in particular, are happy to have Madison around, as a handful of them were with the Giants when Madison was still here. “I love it,” cornerback Aaron Ross said. “Man, that’s like the big brother. My rookie year when I came in, Sam took me under his wing and kind of showed me the ropes, taught me what to do, taught me how to take care of my body, how to

study, how to take notes. He’s doing exactly the same thing he was doing in my rookie year. Sam, that’s a huge bonus to our secondary, especially the corners.” Ross, who played in Jacksonville last year, said one guy who is benefitting from all the vets and former players around is Prince Amukamara. “It’s still the same Prince as far as his personality, but it’s a different Prince on the field,” Ross said. “He’s really matured on the field. I think he’s understanding the game a little more. As far as Prince being Prince, with him it’s like I never left. He’s like the little brother of the group. But on the field he’s impressing a lot of people. He’s understanding what’s going on. He’s looked like he’s feeling very comfortable out there.” TONY WILLIAMS
