Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani says he's increasing the city's parks budget. Will Flushing Meadows' Unisphere finally be restored to its former glory? - QNS

The centerpiece of the 1964-65 World's Fair has suffered from a lack of modernized infrastructure and frequent flooding within the park.

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.
