Brooklyn can be a national model for what it looks like to build community around philanthropy, and in truly challenging moments like the one we are currently facing, it becomes even clearer: the way forward is to build strength globally. When national systems fail us, community becomes the safety net, neighborhood institutions become the backbone.
We are proud to partner with The New York Public Library, whose mission to make knowledge and opportunity accessible to all deeply resonates with us. New York City has inspired UNIQLO since we opened our first store here twenty years ago, through its creativity, diversity, and strong sense of community. As one of the city's most iconic cultural institutions, The New York Public Library helps sustain that spirit, and this partnership reflects our commitment to supporting the spaces that bring New Yorkers together.
Hosted by the Municipal Art Society (MAS) since 2011, Jane's Walk NYC is named after Jane Jacobs, opponent of powerful city planner Robert Moses and author of "The Death and Life of Great American Cities," the 1961 critique of 1950s urban planning policy. In the spirit of Jacobs, the free walks are meant to spark conversations about planning, history, preservation, development, and urban life.
I do not want to reconcile with my family. For my entire life, my parents have controlled narratives in the press about our family. The performative social media posts, family events and inauthentic relationships have been a fixture of the life I was born into.
A group of moped-riding teen muggers held up other youths using a machete and their fists in a string of terrifying broad-daylight Brooklyn crimes last month, police said. One of the cruel thugs even grinned during a stick-up of 14- and 16-year-old boys.
When we talked internally about who would be a dream partner for the brand, everyone said the same name. Keith built his reputation on authenticity and great food, which mirrors what we want to represent.
Bar Ferdinando is Sal Lamboglia's fourth business, including his neighboring dining places Cafe Spaghetti, Swoony's, and Sal Tang's. In fact, Ferdinando's Focacceria owner Francesco "Frank" Buffa picked Lamboglia to take over the address after Buffa decided to shutter the restaurant in February 2025.
Iran is a bad actor and must be aggressively confronted for its human rights violations, nuclear ambitions, support of terrorism and the threat it poses to our allies like Israel and Jordan in the region. However, absent exigent circumstances, the Trump administration must seek authorization for the preemptive use of military force that constitutes an act of war.
Double Knot is in many ways what you'd expect from a Midtown izakaya: Its footprint is massive - dominating two wide floors on West 49th Street - and loungey chairs encircle low tables near the entrance to accommodate the happy-hour crowd, which clears out by 7 p.m. If you're here for dinner, the Chef's Select is a solid deal: ten items pulled from across their menu plus a really excellent miso-caramel soft serve to close.
That's exactly what this evening is all about. The Horse represents strength and energy, both of which help capture the vibrancy of our borough's AAPI communities. I was overjoyed to see so many Brooklynites join our festivities, and I am so thankful to our partners for helping bring this event to life.
They've fallen well below the benchmarks that are required by law. In order to make our buses faster and accessible, we need the administration to provide a full accounting as to why those obligations have not been fulfilled in the last four years.
Does anyone want to actually build a snowman, Martin, a 28-year-old comedian, said, recalling a friend's social media post. And I swiped up immediately, and I said, 'Yes.' After spending two hours at Bushwick's Maria Hernandez Park, Martin constructed what she called Snow Ma'am Eve, a snow woman with an exaggerated skirt, large bust and chiseled arms. The process, she said, restored a sense of childlike whimsy and joy.
The 25-foot-wide brick home at 307 Hicks Street has been transformed into a roughly 6,200-square-foot single-family residence with five bedrooms and seven baths, after a full conversion from four separate units. Local developer Eckstrom led the overhaul, layering minimalist modern finishes onto the building's early-20th-century bones.
These are unprecedented times and Antonio is the best candidate to fight for working families in Washington D.C. and build a movement strong enough to defeat the forces of authoritarianism. Reynoso is deeply trusted by our movement.
I can't do anything about some of these big problems that the world and the city are facing. But I can do one modicum of something nice. So she started cleaning up. Ellen Baum's trash-collecting crusade gained the attention of local media and concerned New Yorkers who have joined the effort to clean up a bridge she considers her back yard.
This turn-of-the-century brick townhouse, at 307 Hicks St., was built around 1910. At 6,200 square feet, the home, filled with modern interiors, features five bedrooms and seven baths. The buyer, we hear, is a Manhattan-based finance family.
I saw him from the back. I said 'Sir, Sir, please can you help me, I can't get down the stairs.' She said that she explained that she was injured. Dinklage then leapt into action like a frost responder. He ran up the stairs, which were icy and he said 'Lean on me.'
The person lived in the building, and unfortunately, they left behind a wife and two kids. One, I think, being two or three, and the other one being three months old, said Neil Constantine, who came to document the interaction. She was bawling.
At the center of that success is Chef Shorne's philosophy of what he calls New Age Caribbean cuisine. It is food rooted in memory and tradition, presented through refined technique, contemporary ingredients, and a global point of view.
Fueled by the expansion of protected bike lanes and bike-sharing systems like Citi Bike, cycling is increasingly becoming a preferred mode of transportation for many New Yorkers. According to data from the NYC Department of Transportation , the number of daily cycling trips rose 64% between 2013 and 2023. A survey from the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene found that more than 762,000 New Yorkers ride a bike regularly.
