New York City

Hark, Christmas has descended on New York City. For several weeks this fall, the trees of the iconic Zuccotti Park, blocks from Wall Street (and the frequent site of anti-capitalist protests), have created a captivating golden canopy, accentuated by the lights that wrap around them. Now, as of Saturday morning, workers unpacking Christmas trees in the park heralded the arrival of a new season: winter.

When you encounter a memorial during your commute, the paying of respect is the quickening of your walk, the feigning of a blank mind, the averting of your gaze. And yet these pedestrians are forgetting themselves; they are slowing to a complete halt at this one altar because it is a display of something uniquely upsetting: the grief of adolescents.

When he takes office next year, Zohran Mamdani will be the first mayor of New York City in decades not to own a car. Mamdani-who bikes and rides public transit to work-wants to make city buses both faster to ride and free, building on a fare-free pilot he helped run in 2023. He also plans to expand the city's network of bike lanes, add more car-free streets in front of schools, and wants to pedestrianize more areas in Manhattan as congestion pricing has reduced traffic.

there were few corners of the city where Lander didn't canvas. Somehow, he still found time to eat really, really well: Between Get Out the Vote (GOTV) events, poll visits, many interviews at 30 Rock, and one walk across the Brooklyn Bridge at dawn, he snuck in a dinner at Lucali and bagels from Shelsky's, relishing in the chaos of election season.

Five members of an alleged Brooklyn biker gang face charges of attempted murder and assault following a frenzied East Flatbush gun battle last spring, the Brooklyn District Attorney said Thursday.

NYPD Detectives say they are on the hunt for two assailants who stabbed a man in a troubled Lower Manhattan park last month. According to police sources, two individuals approached a man inside Sara D. Roosevelt Park at around 10:20 p.m. on Oct. 6. Cops say they engaged the man in a verbal dispute but did not specify what sparked the argument. Things quickly turned violent when the assailants began punching him before also stabbing him several times.

But things are looking up for night owls. I feel like the city's coming back to life. I mean, there's a lot of people who left, but I feel like a lot of people are coming back and I think it's a great time for it, John JB Behling said, founding partner of Out of Ordinary (OOO,) the newest nightclub on the Manhattan scene opened its doors Halloween night.

A man charged with an elaborate real estate scheme in New York City is not who he claims to be. Initially, investigators at the Queens district attorney's office charged him as Carl Avinger. But in March, they got a call from a man who had seen the case in the news saying he was the real Carl Avinger, and that the man they arrested had stolen his identity.

According to police sources, the attack unfolded outside of 3 Times Square at approximately 1:30 a.m. on Nov. 1. Cops say an 18-year-old male was approached by a group who began questioning if he was in a gang. Despite telling them he wasn't with a gang, cops said, a man slashed him across his face, then fled from the scene.
