Wet, sticky spots on the train floor, chicken bones, nut shells, spilled coffee, hot dogs and “lots and lots of rolling bottles” often greet subway passengers who travel on the E and the Q trains — rated the dirtiest lines in the New York City subway system in the latest survey by a rider advocacy group.

Riders on the L line, however, are getting the cleanest ride, according to the group, the Straphangers Campaign, which released its findings on Tuesday.

Mayor Bloomberg is stepping up the pressure in his push to convince state and city lawmakers to approve his congestion pricing plan before a federal deadline expires and the city loses its chance to receive $354 million in funding for the program.

“I have nothing against any one congressman, but that is one of the stupider things I’ve ever heard said. Forget the fact that he’s one of the congressmen who’s supposed to get the money for us, the Democrats control — his party — controls Congress.” Mr. Bloomberg said, raising his voice.

In papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court, stockbroker Stephen Chang said his visit to the Hot Lap Dance Club on West 38th Street ended in agony when he took a heel in the eye from an acrobatic stripper.

The suit, which seeks unspecified money damages, says the club “and/or” its employee was “negligent” in “suddenly swinging around,” and caused Chang to “sustain serious injuries.”

The lawyer who represented a Staten Island man nabbed four years ago as head of a prostitution ring said he will try to get his client’s conviction expunged, since the brothel was busted by then-Attorney General Eliot Spitzer.

“We offered multiple times to voluntarily surrender to the attorney general’s office, to avoid the public humiliation, the perp walk, to avoid public embarrassment, to being removed from your house in the early-morning hours, and all of that was rejected” by Spitzer’s office, Romano said. “They wanted their day in the sun. He wanted his time to shine.”

Mayor Bloomberg is proposing a “residential parking permit program” that would restrict parking spots to neighborhood residents during certain hours. Drivers who did not display neighborhood-specific permits would be ticketed.

If approved by the City Council, the program would allow local community boards to designate their neighborhoods as restricted parking areas. Some see the parking program as a way to appease critics of Mr. Bloomberg’s congestion-pricing proposal, which would have drivers paying $8 to enter Manhattan below 60th Street. Residents of boroughs outside Manhattan have expressed concern that if congestion pricing were to pass, their streets would become congested with drivers looking for a parking space before traveling into the city on public transportation.
