The most common titles on hold with the longest waits include The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, Theo of Golden by Allen Levi, Project Hail Mary by Andrew Weir, Heart the Lover by Lily King and Strangers: A Memoir of Marriage by Belle Burden.

Mamdani opened up about his journey from immigrant child to becoming the city's 112th mayor, calling it a dream realized. Born in Uganda in 1991 and arriving in New York at age 7, he's now the youngest person to hold the office in over a century and the city's first Muslim and African-born mayor.

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.

While most people think of the New York subway as a way to get somewhere, I happen to think of it as one of the greatest art museums in the world - and it only costs $3 to get in. As long as you don't go through the turnstiles, you can go from station to station all day long marveling at the wall art.

One of the solutions to the housing crisis can be found in our backyards, our attics, or our basements - in an Ancillary Dwelling Unit. By making it easier for New Yorkers to turn their homes into an extra place for a loved one or a little more income, we're allowing our city to grow while keeping the character of the neighborhoods we love.

Antisemitism in New York is not an abstract dialogue problem. It is not a misunderstanding that can be resolved through facilitated conversation. It is a civic emergency: assaults on visibly Jewish New Yorkers, threats against synagogues, harassment on public transit, and a permissive ideological environment - especially in elite progressive spaces - that treats Jewish identity as uniquely suspect.

It's an enclave of Jersey City, the thriving Hudson River city with delicious cuisine, and is one of the least-dense neighborhoods of the city, as Statistical Atlas shows. Its relative calm, combined with a high walking score of 81 given to the neighborhood by Apartments.com, makes Bergen-Lafayette especially suitable for exploring its relaxed, historic streets on foot at an unrushed pace.

From time to time, a piece of vocabulary comes along which the public didn't realize it was missing and soon enough can't live without. "Commie Corridor"-to designate the precincts of Queens and north Brooklyn overrun with youthful lefties-is one such phrase, a zippy addition to the city's lexicon of pop anthropology. Its sudden currency was the handiwork of Michael Lange, a twenty-five-year-old political analyst and member of the Democratic Socialists of America, who used it in his Substack newsletter back in June, just as early voting in the Democratic primary began. Zohran Mamdani, Lange wrote, might just be able to win, if he could inspire staggering turnout in this "young and hungry" base; when Mamdani pulled it off, the New York Times published Lange's analysis, bringing the coinage to a wider readership.

Rowynn Dumont, a curator, painter, photographer and writer, lived in about 25 places around the world before settling in New York in 2017. It's where my community and the art world infrastructure already were, said Dumont. Exhibits in Union Square, the Flatiron District, Long Island City and the Lower East Side featured her work. She also co-founded a popular monthly new wave dance party, Black Rainbow, on the Lower East Side that would go until 10am.

It is no secret to many of the 1.4 million people who call the Bronx home that they have felt as if the rest of the city had seen the Bronx much as Mayor Mamdani said, a "forgotten borough," over the last six decades. Being forgotten often leads to ignorance of needs critical to a community. "Undersourced" is a term often used by Bronx residents, community advocates, elected officials, and others to describe critical issues such as police protection, air pollution, education, healthcare, and business opportunities.

You'd be excused for not noticing Hue House while walking down a midtown Manhattan street. After all, as ambitious as the idea behind this new four-story cultural club showcasing Asian culture may be, the building itself is fairly nondescript, tucked into 56 East 41st Street near Madison Avenue. Step inside, though, and it becomes immediately clear just how much thought has gone into the project.
