15 Minutes With the Next Mayor of New York City On the W train, we asked the questions we couldn’t get to in the debate.

Interesting little interview by @thecity.nyc with future mayor Mamdani but like nearly every other one there's no mention of street safety or the war on cycling by the NYPD. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/05/m...

I'm so happy this city showed up for Zohran and now he's going to show up at City Hall every day for the people of this wonderful city. I'm excited for what's to come.

You adjust the walk to suit the weather but they have to get out to use the bathroom at a minimum. Most people in the city don't have any outdoor space like a backyard so nowhere for the dogs to go. On bad weather days you keep it short, let them do their business and then play with them inside.

The biggest downsides are the lack of time off as you can't really call in sick if it's just you doing the walks and being outside and caring for the dogs in extreme weather like high heat/freezing cold/heavy rain and snow.
I left a good job in an ER in Brooklyn to do this and I'm so much happier

I'm a dog walker in NYC. I run my own business and while I don't make $200k a year I do well enough to live here comfortably. Many walkers are making $30 an hour and that's per dog so if you do more than one at a time that starts to add up to real money.

"New Yorkers will board the train at Hoboken Terminal in New Jersey" So... not to NYC but to NJ. *smh* Don't say it's from NYC to LA and not actually go to NYC. This means another train trip to get back to the city and then another to get home.

Health insurance is a major issue and a huge problem for Americans but it was completely ignored by @1010wins.bsky.social for the light story they wanted to tell instead of the whole story.
I expect so much better from them and others. Maybe I shouldn't anymore.

Sure, she loves the sport and wants to compete but she stated very clearly that she came back because she was put on Cobra and had to compete to get her health insurance.
I don't understand how a news org. like @1010wins.bsky.social fails to mention such an important point.

I listen to @1010wins.bsky.social every day for local news and this morning they talked about Venus Williams and her return to the court. They mentioned her playing well and getting engaged but failed to mention the big news she dropped. She's playing because she needs health insurance.

There are beautiful beaches here and all up and down the coast but the biggest advantage ours have over the west coast is that our water is warm.

The best skiing on the east coast is in the northeast so you'd have to head to places like Vermont which is by far the best. You have decent options in PA, NY, NH and Maine.

Depending on what you're looking for it can be found in different areas. You would have to drive to get to them as most transit is focused on getting between big cities rather than getting you to things like the mountains or recreation areas.

The skiing is rather close at Bear and Hunter mountains but the best skiing is in Vermont and is not accessible by train.

I can't honestly say how what we have here compares as I've never been but I don't think it would be quite as nice as what you have in Washington. The PNW is special.
We have some beautiful mountain ranges, lots of rivers and lakes and gorgeous wilderness all accessible by train or bus.

Word!

I just don't want actual cake in my ice cream cake. Carvel does it right. Vanilla, chocolate and those wonderful crunchies in the middles. They make one with fudge and crunchies all over the outside. It's absolutely amazing!

The NYC Subway is just the five boroughs but it you take the Metro North from the city it goes up the Hudson River to many locations with beautiful hiking trails through the woods.
We also have buses to take us to the mountains for skiing.

I'm happy to live in the "commie corridor." Things are rather nice with elected officials that do good work and are available when you have an issue.

"In past years," or since about 1630 -- ~150 years before the country was even established.

nothing has reinforced my belief that NYC did the right thing like seeing just how upset all the worst people in the world are over it

Beat the heat in NYC, ask FDNY to open a fire hydrant this summer Editor’s note: The video above aired in a previous newscast. NEW YORK (PIX11) – It’s summer in New York, and with the extreme heat baking the city, there’s a free and cool way to beat the hea…

Want to open the hydrant on your block to beat the heat? Here's how to do it: pix11.com/news/local-n...

We're going to have so many new protected bike lanes, the end of this horrible war against cycling by the NYPD and a revocation of the dangerous speed limit for bikes.
I can't wait for our new mayor and new DOT commissioner. #NYC #NYCcycling #BikeNYC

Minor thing with tonight's win for Mamdani but can we now get the name of the Tappan Zee bridge officially returned and remove the Cuomo name from it? Pretty please.

Watching the party from Mamdani's HQ right now while waiting to hear him speak.

The hope before today was that Mamdani would be within 5 or so pts. of Cuomo after the 1st round. Most thought Cuomo would lead to start but if he was close enough Mamdani would have the votes later on to pull ahead. With Mamdani having the lead outright there's really no chance for Cuomo

Every metric says he loses the longer the ranking goes. He needed to win in the first round as few people were likely ranking him 2nd, 3rd or later. He knows there aren't many votes for him going forward and certainly not more than Mamdani.

Hell yeah!!! LFG!!! On to the general and then to Gracie Mansion!!

Yes, we do fireworks. Brooklyn has a lot of fireworks and if you're looking for a big show we have the Macy's 4th of July fireworks show. It'll be viewable from parts of Brooklyn.

If you’re in line to make a stay in line joke, this is a New York City election and it’s “stay ON line”

Both is not an option, Andrew. *smh* You can't root for both teams. You can throw this on the pile of why Cuomo isn't qualified to be mayor.
