Queens Democratic Party leader Rep. Greg Meeks is on record with strong praise of Julie Menin. Menin, a more moderate leaning member from Manhattan, also has some support in the Bronx, which tends to align with Queens. Council Member Crystal Hudson, meanwhile, is seen as a top pick for progressives. But no one's vote tally is written in ink. Some see potential for Council Member Amanda Farías to emerge as a compromise candidate should the two front-runners' nebulous coalitions fall apart.
As a community organizer in New York City, Sharifa Khan spends a lot of time visiting food distribution hubs, community gardens, and local shelters. While speaking with community members, she often encounters the same issue: people want to get involved in volunteering, but they're not sure where to start. So, Khan decided to make a tool to address that-and it couldn't have come at a more important moment.
Zohran Mamdani doesn't want you to shop at Starbucks right now. The New York City mayor-elect is urging people not to patronize the iconic coffee chain while baristas remain on strike. "Starbucks workers across the country are on an Unfair Labor Practices strike, fighting for a fair contract," Mamdani wrote on X on Thursday evening. "While workers are on strike, I won't be buying any Starbucks, and I'm asking you to join us."
Ask any New Yorker who has taken a bus recently how they've felt about the experience, and many will tell you the same thing: They're too slow for their liking. The broad dissatisfaction with New York City's bus system became a big part of the mayoral campaign itself. Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani wants not only to make the buses free, but also to make them faster.
A mother and son were discovered mummified inside a Brooklyn apartment on Wednesday afternoon - after residents reported a troubling smell wafting through the building for days, according to sources and authorities. The 80-year-old woman and 52-year-old man were discovered by officers who entered the building on the corner of Jay Street and Tillary Street in Downtown Brooklyn for a wellness check just before 1 p.m., according to the NYPD.
New Yorkers love a historic landmark, and College Point's Poppenhusen Institute has always been one of those gems that locals know is special. Now, the 1868 structure-already listed on the National Register of Historic Places and protected as a city landmark-has emerged from a $6.2 million restoration. The city unveiled the completed restoration at a ribbon-cutting ceremony this week, marking the latest milestone in an ongoing, multi-phase effort to preserve one of Queens' most significant cultural hubs.
Near Prospect Park, this top-floor Windsor Terrace co-op has a roomy layout with six closets, parquet, and a renovated kitchen and bath. For those looking to spread out, this Windsor Terrace apartment has six closets, two bedrooms, and a roomy layout. The roominess does come with a price, but the unit at 71 Ocean Parkway also has a renovated kitchen and bath, wood floors, and some treetop views.
The centerpiece of the 1964-65 World's Fair has suffered from a lack of modernized infrastructure and frequent flooding within the park. The Unisphere's water features and the Fountain of the Fairs, a misting fountain for residents to cool off in during the summer, are both currently out of operation. Nonetheless, Mamdani chose to stand in front of the Unisphere a day after his election as the city's 111th mayor - and the first ever to hail from Queens.
Zohran Kwame Mamdani was elected as the new mayor of New York City on November 4, marking a ground-breaking win for a number of underrepresented groups. It was a home run for Democratic Socialists, whose platform Mamdani has championed since starting his career for public office. It was also a win for minorities, with Mamdani becoming the city's first Muslim and Indian-Ugandan mayor.More than anything, though, it was a sweeping victory for soccer fanatics.
A long-planned vision for Harlem became reality Wednesday with the opening of the Urban League Empowerment Center, a $242 million, 414,000-square-foot hub that blends housing, history, and hope on 125th Street. The project, led by the National Urban League, brings the organization's national headquarters back to Harlem, the neighborhood where the League rose to prominence more than a century ago.
Zohran Kwame Mamdani is a Ugandan-born immigrant of Indian descent, raised Shia Muslim in an interfaith household in Morningside Heights. The novelty of his origins has broad appeal. As Zenat Begum, Brooklynite and founder of Bed-Stuy's coffeehouse and community space Playground, put it, "He is a walking concoction of every New Yorker in one person." Still, one trait is all too familiar in this city's political imagination-his Muslimness.
The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade enchants audiences each November as it cascades down the 2.5-mile route toward the Macy's Herald Square flagship store. From the iconic giant floating balloons, to celebrity appearances and classic Broadway performances, there's something for everyone to enjoy on this joyous morning. Many dream of attending the parade in person but aren't sure where to start.
A pair of vicious pit bulls have terrorized a Coney Island building for months, killing one innocent pup and mangling two more, outraged pet owners said Wednesday. The latest attack took place Sunday morning when a French bulldog, Calypso, had just gotten back to Coney Island Commons - and one of the pit bulls snatched the tiny dog in its mouth and made it go limp. "It grabbed her by the head and shook her around like a rabbit," owner Diane Bradley, 56, recalled to The Post.
The NYPD said the suspect, sometimes working with an accomplice, has approached victims on scooters or mopeds, brandishing a firearm and demanding jewelry, cash, or bikes. The robberies have occurred since mid-September in broad daylight across multiple precincts, from the South Bronx to the Upper East Side, Midtown, and Lower Manhattan. The spree began on September 14, when two men on a two-wheeled vehicle approached a 31-year-old man at Clay Avenue and East 167th Street in the Bronx, displayed a gun,
Mamdani's run was barely a blip then, but Califano sensed the swell of something shifting. He asked Mamdani's communications director if he could follow the campaign behind the scenes (and on his own dime) for a long-term documentary project. They said yes, and over the next nine months, Califano embedded himself within Zohran's team, photographing everything from union rallies to neighborhood canvassers to Ramadan iftars among aunties. He burned through more than 100 rolls of film in the process.
