3-11 in NYC is a non-emergency reporting number.. Think of it as 9-11 for non-life threatening things ("my water isn't working!" "Where can I go to get a parking ticket paid", etc)

511 is the local traffic report

does it cost any money? because 411 is information but it costs like $1 per call on my cell

Dude, I told you what 311 in the context of that conversation means.. It's also a police call number ("attention all units, a 311 is taking place on 5th and burk ave.) and a band.. THose guys, however, were talking about the non-emergency government information line in nyc..

I was watching CNN earlier, and they said that New Yorkers could call 311 to get information on the power situation.

Acording to the band, 311 is the police code for "Indecent exposure" in their hometown.

Anyway, that's what the band members told me . . .

We did a radio interview with them in Honolulu . . . I have the first three of their CDs signed by the band.
