Every year, my tribe-the Aquinnah Wampanoag-celebrates Cranberry Day on the second Tuesday in October. It's one of our most important gatherings, when the tribe comes together to pick wild cranberries in the bogs by the beach. Starting early in the morning, we spread out across the squelchy bogs, steadily filling buckets and baskets with the firm, red berries. I grew up away from our homelands on Martha's Vineyard, but my family always made a trip back to the island for Cranberry Day.
NYPD Commissioner Jessica Tisch's fact-free crackdown on e-bikes continues - and the agency has finally released some of the numbers to amNY (believe me, we've been asking). No surprise: The Upper East Side, where Tisch's mother has made her opinion well known, leads in enforcement. The amNY editorial board obviously read Streetsblog, commissioning an op-ed from two Council members and a city labor leader to support a Council bill to rein in Amazon that we wrote about last month.
