Under a new Health Department rule that took effect October 4, restaurants that are part of chains with 15 or more locations nationwide must display a warning icon next to any food or drink containing 50 grams or more of added sugars. The regulation affects nearly 4,000 restaurants citywide. Fines to follow "Every New Yorker deserves access to delicious, healthy food that they feel good about eating," said Acting Health Commissioner Dr. Michelle Morse.

In big cities, capsule hotels (where you sleep in a small pod) have the advantage of being both affordable and convenient, especially for travelers who only need a place to sleep before heading into the city. They're often just big enough to fit a bed, though some luxury capsule hotels around the world offer a little more space, accommodating a side table or even a balcony.

The reshaping of the nation's biggest commercial waste market has been many years in the making, with a complex bidding process and pandemic delays. This month's expansion is the latest step in the new system taking shape. The commercial waste zone program was created by a 2019 law, leading to the establishment of 20 non-exclusive zones with three carters each as well as a set of citywide contracts for containerized service.

The city's child care landscape is notoriously complex and expensive, with a range of private, home-based, center-based and public options. According to a report from the 5 Boro Institute last year, 80% of families struggle to cover the costs of full-time care, while providers labor under "razor-thin" margins that have pushed some out of business. Policy makers and advocates say child care is a central piece of the affordability crisis driving families out of the city, threatening to destabilize the tax base and the public school system.

NEW YORK CITY - The October Harvest Supermoon is set to appear over New York City Monday night, according to forecasters. The Harvest Supermoon will be at its peak around 11:47 p.m. It will also be visible on Tuesday, according to the Farmer's Almanac. The October supermoon is the first of three in 2025. A supermoon occurs when a full moon orbits closest to Earth.

More than 70 bars and restaurants will feature sotol-based creations throughout the week, from refreshing highballs to smoky stirred sippers. Expect to see Casa Lotos Sotol featured across the city at some of NYC's most notable drinking destinations like , Superbueno Wall Street Hotel Cosme, Toloache and El Fish. Each will riff on the spirit's versatility, from bracingly vegetal martinis to smoky-sweet riffs on classic margs.

I think no matter where we are in the city, though, it reflects such a wide swath of great restaurants around New York, Fitzpatrick said. Not only that, we're bringing in great spots, great dishes, and great chefs from around the country to collaborate that's my favorite part personally, these collaborations that you literally can only get there. It's like a unicorn, it just exists for a fleeting moment.

The New York City Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA) has announced five new members of its (Cig)-an exclusive programme for private arts organisations that operate on public land to receive long-term support from the city, including an annual operations subsidy. One arts organisation from each of the city's five boroughs was inducted into the group-Brooklyn's , Manhattan's , the , the on Staten Island and the in Queens.

CIG was established in 1869 with the American Museum of Natural History. Its institutions operate in city-owned buildings and receive financial support from the city, including for capital investment. A number of the city's museums are part of the program, including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MoMA PS1, the Studio Museum in Harlem, El Museo del Barrio, the Bronx Museum of the Arts, and the Queens Museum.

The permit was initially granted in August to allow Waymo to test its robotaxis in the city until the end of September. The terms of the extended permit are the same: Waymo can deploy up to eight of its Jaguar I-Pace vehicles in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn with a human safety operator behind the wheel. A spokesperson for Waymo said the permit makes the company's drivers exempt from New York's rules mandating they keep one hand on the wheel at all times.

The Trump administration can try to blackmail us, they can try to starve our schools of funding, but we will not cower or bend before them, said Councilmember Tiffany Caban, who co-chairs the LGBTQIA+ Caucus. The Trump administration sent letters demanding that New York City and other school districts rescind policies protecting transgender individuals by Sept. 23. When that deadline came and went, the White House said it would cut about $36 million in total funding for Magnet Schools Assistance Program funding in New York City alone, though cuts were also made to school districts in Chicago, Illinois, and Fairfax, Virginia.

With a United States government shutdown looming-again-you may be wondering what that actually means for New York City. Well, it's not quite clear yet, as each administration gets the power to choose which services to freeze and fund, per the Associated Press. But it's likely that some things, including cultural organizations, would temporarily close if the shutdown happens, especially based on the shutdown during the last Trump administration. Though nothing is confirmed yet, here's what we suspect could close in New York City.

City of Yes passed at the end of last year, promising to create more than 80,000 new homes over 15 years, in part by legalizing the creation of apartments in people's backyards or basements of people's single- and two-family homes. (The move proved controversial, unsurprisingly.) In July, the Department of Buildings released preliminary specs for constructing these sorts of units, some of which were pretty universal - only one ADU could be constructed for every single- or two-family home; maximum size is 800 square feet -

According to 50 Top Pizza, America's second-best pizzeria is Pizzeria Sei - the same pizzeria that tops Tasting Table's ranking of the 20 absolute best pizza places in Los Angeles. Pizzeria Sei prides itself on its intimate atmosphere and concise menu. It only offers eight different, Neapolitan-style pizzas. Not only is it recognized as one of the best in the U.S., but 50 Top Pizza also crowned it as the ninth-best pizzeria in the world in 2025.

Ask any New Yorker: Happy hour isn't what it used to be. The rise of remote work, paired with thinner margins for restaurants has left the most jubilant time of day, well, a bit lacking in recent years. Luckily, some restaurants and bars are still trying to entice the after work card with tempting specials on food and beverage that bring back the age old tradition of happy hour in New York City. Here's where to seek out some of the most unique happy hours across Manhattan and Brooklyn:

When I asked Ciara what motivated her to start taking even better care of her health, I was struck by her answer. "I just pray that I can be on this Earth for a long time, to witness a lot of beautiful moments that my kids are going to experience, and with Russ," the 39-year-old singer and record label CEO said emphatically over Zoom, referring to her NFL quarterback husband, Russell Wilson, and the blended family's four young children.
