On the mayoral campaign trail, Anthony Weiner stopped by the Elmhurst Senior Center in Queens, sharing cookies with its residents. 

BTW, a fake Anthony Weiner paraded in underwear in Times Square as part of National Underwear Day to beat the record for largest outdoor gathering of people in underwear.

Meanwhile protesters against mayoral candidate John Liu clashed with his supporters at a rally outside the building where the Campaign Finance Committee ruled the Democrat ineligible for $3.53 million in public matching campaign funds.
