I understood at a very early age how much place matters and how impactful government services can be on one's life. The Mayor's Office of Equity and Racial Justice was really focused on working with agencies to think about how they're addressing inequity, whether it's through budget as a lever or personnel as a lever, procurement, policymaking. But land use is a lever as well.

The MTA gave several fans who took the train to the game a ride on a special train harkening back to the franchise's early days, the 1917 IRT Lo-V Nostalgia Train.

The passageway is hidden in the last place most authorities would look for a person-within a set of drawers near the bedroom, on the second floor. There, a two by two-foot hatch opens onto a 15-foot shaft with a makeshift ladder extending towards the basement pantry.

"It's a really special spot. When you start at the top and move down the gently sloped ramp, you almost feel like a marble tumbling down, looking at art as you roll by. The slight slant plays with your sense of perspective and grounding."

The New York International Auto Show is packed with kid-friendly activities, including their newly expanded Family Fun Zone featuring hands-on attractions, a Kids EV Test Track, and more.

The annual Easter Bonnet and Parade Festival is all about the hats-lavishly decorated, from the exquisite to the outlandish. Anyone is welcome to join, just show up near St. Patrick's Cathedral at 10am on Easter Sunday to watch or saunter with the group up Fifth Avenue.

St. Patrick was a missionary. He came to spread faith and goodness, and he did so in an incredible way. He planted the seeds of faith, and we are seeing those seeds still alive and flourishing today. He is not only a saint of the past, but a living presence in our hearts—and that's what we're celebrating today.

New York is the state with the highest percentage of homes without a car (excluding the District of Columbia), meaning many day trips are within reach of NYC by train. If you're seeking relaxation, explore one of the small, colorful villages of New York's Hudson River Valley. Perhaps you'd prefer to dine on Neapolitan-inspired pizza in a charming corner of Connecticut or stroll along the waterfront in one of New Jersey's coolest suburbs.

From July 3 through 9, the Port of New York and New Jersey will host a weeklong spectacle featuring more than 60 international tall ships from more than 20 countries, more than 40 allied and U.S. naval vessels, a British aircraft carrier, Cunard's Queen Mary 2 and an aerial armada of over 100 aircrafts led by the U.S. Navy's Blue Angels. By the numbers alone, it's set to eclipse every Operation Sail celebration that came before it, from 1964 through 2012.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - Monday is Presidents Day, which means many people may have the day off and services may be closed in observance of the federal holiday. Officially Washington's birthday at the federal government level, Presidents Day is a holiday celebrated on the third Monday of February.
