Kenia Pittman, director of exhibition design operations at the New York Botanical Garden, towers over the Brooklyn Bridge as she talks. But this is more of a baby Brooklyn Bridge than the real thing.

The past few weeks have been brutal in New York, with the flu hitting hard, ruining holiday plans, and leaving people wiped out for days, if not weeks. Everywhere you go in New York, there's someone sick with it. The cold weather and snow haven't made it any easier. If it hasn't hit your household, consider yourself lucky. Of course, this is nothing new, as each year, flu cases rise around this time, but this year, it has hit harder and earlier.

The year was marked by pressure, pushback and community. SUNY Downstate, which faced closure in 2024, took steps toward the future this year after protest from doctors, patients and local elected officials saved it from the brink. Parents and educators fought back against the city's sudden announcement that it would close four early childhood education centers.
