We're so happy to present the Streetsblog debut of Joel Katuala, who has been a prolific pro-bike YouTuber for about a month now. His latest contribution? A short video lambasting Mayor Adams - and, by extension, Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch (who will stay in office) - for the criminal crackdown that began on cyclists that began this spring. Here, Katuala, who describes himself as a "fairly optimistic person," makes the pessimistic case against the Adams administration's crackdown.
Sperone Westwater, the Bowery-based gallery that represents canonical figures including Francesco Clemente and Bruce Nauman, will cease operations at the end of this year. The closure, first reported by Artnet News, comes just two months after the gallery marked its 50th anniversary and three months after the gallery's co-founder, Gian Enzo Sperone, sued his fellow co-founder, Angela Westwater, seeking to dissolve the gallery, and alleging her "unlawful handling" of funds.
Meet the new police commissioner - same as the old police commissioner! Incoming Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced on Wednesday that Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch, a veteran of city government and a scion of one of the city's wealthiest families, would remain in her post when he takes over City Hall next year. It's an extraordinary decision with little precedent in modern city history.
Mamdani's platform put forward a single policy proposal on higher education: a promise to work with state and city lawmakers to "massively invest" in the City University of New York, the city's public system of four-year institutions, community colleges and professional schools, which has consistently called for more funding. The goal is to support "infrastructure, pay staff and faculty a living wage, give free OMNY cards to all students, and make CUNY tuition-free for all students," Mamdani's platform read.
It's estimated that there are more than 9,000 of these "construction sheds" (another term for scaffolding) installed across the city, enough to stretch nearly 400 miles if they were put end to end. They do the important work of shielding pedestrians from potential falling debris during building construction and renovation projects, but they also shroud large swaths of sidewalk in dark and cloistered tunnels made of an unfortunate jumble of steel poles and plywood.

You can argue all you want about the very best dive bars in NYC, but this guide is not that. This is the dive bar directory. It's where you should turn when you find yourself in Tribeca and can't possibly deal with the thought of a $30 cocktail, or when you want to drink during the day without anyone looking at you sideways.
Yet, with any legislation, Local Law 18 has presented unintended consequences that have actually made the city less affordable for New Yorkers. That's because New Yorkers have lost a vital tool that allows them to supplement the growing costs of homeownership. This current Council has a historic opportunity, however, to make minor changes to the existing law not wipe it out or even water it down that will put this tool back in the hands of those struggling to make ends meet.
