What a downgrade for Beija-Flor, the excellent Brazilian restaurant in Dutch Kills. Their pretty outdoor dining structure is now gone, just so two people can park their cars in front. No more live music outside, I guess, either.
Conservative NIMBYs just hate this city.

.@TheNY_Groove just turned one and we celebrated with a @timdonnelly scoop: Live Nation quietly bought The Bell House and is pushing out every event that isn’t comedy or a live podcast episode nygroove.nyc/bell-house-sold…

New Yorkers are now far more likely to be killed in a car crash than a shooting.
City data shows 127 people were killed in traffic crashes during the first six months of the year, compared to 82 who were fatally shot.

Traffic in Midtown in June moved at a rate of 4.6 mph - these speeds are bad for our health, bad for the planet, bad for business and bad for New York. nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/07/…

July 4th is a busy travel weekend and with traffic moving at the slowest rates recorded in decades - if you are taking a trip - avoid leaving on Wednesday at 2 p.m., when traffic is expected to peak.

MTA saying that a Verrazzano Bridge "cable dehumidification project" which helps maintain the bridge cables will be postponed. Shoutout to all the Staten Island elected officials opposing congestion pricing!

At maybe the biggest MTA board meeting in recent memory, while officials are talking about how the congestion pricing pause will hurt the agency, the camera suddenly pans to boardmember and congestion pricing foe David Mack, who appears to be...sleeping?

Congrats to all the Panthers fans who paid for their season ticket packages for next season by selling their Game 7 tickets to Oilers fans.

Gridlock Gov. Hochul has joined the history books as the next governor to stop work on the Second Avenue subway nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/06/…

🧵My team at @RewireNewsGroup was unexpectedly banned from TikTok without any prior notice. All those who had access to the @RewireNewsGroup account, had our personal accounts banned as well—presumably just for being associated with the account. This happened without any warning.

Another consequence of Governor Hochul killing congestion pricing? Higher fares and worse service nyc.streetsblog.org/2024/06/…

Instead, politicians are giving in at the nadir, creating a crisis of faith in governance and an economic crisis for transit in the region while doing nothing to reduce congestion. We went from everything to nothing on the basis of expected poll numbers.

Also, 25% of all potato chip potatoes *in the entire country* come from Michigan! We're #1! Take that, Idaho.

It is not entirely clear to me what legal authority Hochul has to indefinitely delay congestion pricing particularly as it was mandated by law in 2019. If any NYS local government experts have any insight into this, I am all ears.

Did Red Lobster go down because of its Endless Shrimp deal? @lukewgoldstein runs the numbers.
Losses from Endless Shrimp: $11 million
Sale-leaseback deal that put Red Lobster on the hook for rent payments: $1.5 *billion*

Luckily, one portal to Dublin remains open—James Joyce’s timeless 1922 modernist epic Ulysses.

My favorite genre of tweet tonight: people who think they’re seeing the aurora in NYC but in fact are just seeing the lights from the Kosciuszko Bridge reflected in the clouds
ALT A tweet that says “NYC aurora” with a photo of a faint purple light in a cloudy sky over some buildings
ALT A tweet that says “Aurora in NYC! She’s peeking!!!” with the same purple light in the sky
ALT A tweet that says: “We try again tomorrow, NYC 🙏 #aurora” with a photo that shows the same faint purple light in the distance
ALT A tweet of the same light in a cloudy sky over the Queensboro Bridge with the text: “Midtown east. Manhattan. Lights and clouds, but it’s there. #aurora #solarstorm #nyc
