Both men are among a wave of young, progressive, charismatic candidates calling for change, amid a backlash to not only Donald Trump's second-term agenda, but also a historically unpopular Democratic Party that many feel are doing too little, too late. That list of progressives also includes Arizona representative-elect Adelita Grijalva; Robert Peters, who is running in Illinois' 2nd district; and Graham Platner, a democrat running for senate in Maine in a bid to unseat Republican Senator Susan Collins.

While trying to find a way to realize his dream of becoming a nightclub singer, he worked as a waiter, writer, retoucher, actor, SAT tutor and as a personal assistant to the truly psychotic wife of an aging writer whom I revered, but still wasn't earning enough. Then, he was offered a deal that seemed too good to refuse: $20,000 to write a book about the edgy scene that he had immersed himself in.

Beyond work, I'm passionate about architecture, climate resilience, and plants - interests that also influence the way I shape and live in my space,

Densely populated with cold, snowy winters, the Empire State has one of the oldest and most accessible networks of ski resorts in the country. It's home to three major mountain ranges-the Adirondacks, Catskills, and parts of the Appalachians-along with a thick sprinkling of steep, glacier-carved hills. Enthusiasm for the sport swelled when Lake Placid hosted the 1932 Olympic Games, and under the New Deal, the Civilian Conservation Core helped supercharge the development of New York's trails and infrastructure.

When I first moved to New York in 2017, I drank the Kool-Aid: work hard, play hard. I had just finished university and another journalism internship in Vienna, and flew across the Atlantic with one suitcase and my résumé in hand. It felt like a scene from a movie. For eight years, I lived a Sex and the City lifestyle on a budget: strutting down the streets in high heels, heading to my first corporate job with fire and hope in my heart.

Urban living can make pet ownership more challenging,

If you know anything about recent history, you're aware that 2016 was a politically polarizing year, to say the least. However, amidst the turmoil, in September New York's then-governor Andrew Cuomo made one move with the potential to please Americans across political aisles: he signed a law nixing New York's longstanding restrictions on serving alcohol before 12 p.m. on Sundays.

Bad news for your autumn Instagram feed: This year's fall foliage might be more "meh" than "majestic." After months of dry weather, trees across New York are browning and dropping their leaves before they can turn those fiery reds and golds the Northeast is famous for. According to the U.S. Drought Monitor, more than 40-PERCENT of the country is currently experiencing drought-more than twice the usual amount for this time of year-and it's hitting the Northeast particularly hard.

the landlord requested that we submit a deck as well as an operator, which is something I've never had since I handled most of the operational duties myself alongside a general manager at Baohaus. That said, Baohaus was a 400-square-foot box, and most sit-down restaurants have an operator who handles the business of opening the restaurant, including finding the location; negotiating the lease; collaborating on the concept, the brand, and front of the house;

Before they become historical documents, diaries start out as ordinary ledgers, a frame-by-frame accounting of the moments and events of a person's days. With the help of time, scholarship, and critical interest, they become history in miniature, an up-close look at how a life was formed and shaped by the times the diarist lived in. One could read Randy Shilts's monumental 1987 history And the Band Played On: Politics, People, and the AIDS Epidemic to learn about the infuriating and chaotic early history of the crisis:

Where do you live in NYC? I live in Hell's Kitchen. When we moved over from the UK, we wanted to be right in the heart of Midtown. From our apartment I can walk to the theatre, which is incredible. And everything that makes New York so exciting is right on the doorstep. It's fantastic being surrounded by that energy every day.

Video posted by New York Daily News and taken by freelance photojournalist Stephanie Keith shows Dean Moses, a photojournalist for amNewYork, following ICE agents into an elevator in a Manhattan building. While other journalists look on, Moses is forcefully removed from the elevator after being told to get off. Get the f**k out of the elevator! an agent is heard saying as Moses is removed.

Retired US financier Howard Rubin was arrested Friday on sex-trafficking charges for allegedly trafficking dozens of women, including former Playboy models, to be sexually and physically assaulted during encounters in his New York City penthouse in a soundproofed room described in court papers as The Dungeon. Authorities announced the arrest of Rubin and his former personal assistant, Jennifer Powers, on charges in an indictment unsealed in Brooklyn federal court.

The numbers tell a painful story. Fifty percent 50% of New York City households, and 33% of Long Island households struggle to meet basic needs, even though most of those households include a working adult. Since 2000, the cost of raising a young family of four in New York has increased by an astonishing 131%, while wages have risen only 71%,

If you're a New York resident, check your mailbox: Hundreds of dollars could be waiting inside. The New York State Office of Taxation and Finance has announced it will issue inflation refund checks as early as this fall. The event is not because of any special program, like how STAR payments are issued. Instead, New York is providing one-time relief checks to help offset higher sales taxes due to increased inflation.

We all met at FSU. Lukasz [Tracz], who's one of the co-CEOs, and myself were both waiters at Olive Garden. We became best friends, and then he told me he had a twin brother and I said, Get out of here, I have a twin.

It's got a kind of gruff charm about it.

New York City has always been a destination for foodies, fashion lovers, art collectors, and cultural explorers. But since cannabis was legalized, the city has become something else entirely-a premier destination for weed enthusiasts seeking premium products that reflect both craftsmanship and authenticity. Whether you are a first-time visitor or a seasoned local, the search for the best hash in New York is no small task. With dispensaries opening across the five boroughs and throughout the state, the variety of products is vast.

Spike Lee's Highest 2 Lowest is nominally about a wealthy music producer (Denzel Washington) forced to decide whether it's worth giving up his fortune to save the life of his oldest friend's son. But it's clear that what engages Lee is the opportunity to follow his protagonist through the streets of New York and catch up on the latest. Like Lee, Washington's character is a legend in his field, surrounded by tributes to the trailblazers who inspired him;
