This rules!

Empty Manhattan Is All About Simple Pleasures The cries of a hawk, the warm summer breeze, and oh god so many parking spots.

I declare Manhattan….empty!! The most wonderful time of the year! hellgatenyc.com/empty-manhat...

Why is the new office for the Thomas Jefferson Democratic Club now a headquarters for the Eric Adams campaign for mayor?

City loses $112M for High Line-style park under Trump law The federal reconciliation bill canceled a grant awarded last year for the QueensWay project.

This is actually fantastic news for New York City. www.crainsnewyork.com/politics-pol...

$38 for the 100s, cheaper than the Liberty!

Yes this is the good one, if not clear from the bucolic baseball moment

Not even taking the teams into consideration, kind of wild that we built two stadiums that cost roughly the same during the same year and one is good and one is bad

This is such a strong piece by Liv Veazey for @hellgatenyc.com offering the banality of ICE agents as they huddle and lounge around Lower Manhattan, engaging in the most barbaric of activities, kidnapping and holding people in a gulag and then talking about slurpees.

We have a simple "may your haters, etc., etc." policy at HG—we wish them the very best!

What about three years JACKSON? What about that???

Happy bday of full website/paywall to @hellgatenyc.com!!!

Proving the haters wrong for three full years now.

right, that one is miserable

Would you count Palm Avenue or UTC or is that too much of a walk?

Because I am a "journalist" I cannot actually share the theory in writing but I am determined to actually figure it out through a process called "reporting"

Former NYPD Commissioner Alleges Mayor Adams Oversaw 'Coordinated Criminal Conspiracy' in Wild Lawsuit A spokesperson for the mayor pushed back by alleging that former interim NYPD Commissioner Thomas Donlon—whom Adams appointed—was "ineffective."

I have a theory about what happened with Tom Donlon that explains everything but it's too funny to actually be true hellgatenyc.com/former-nypd-...

TY sir!!!

Former Governor David Paterson Wants Anti-Mamdani Candidates to Unite, Then Sacrifice Themselves "This is, today, the beginning of a process. It is publicizing our wish to try to find the right candidate for the people of the city of New York. We'll have more later on."

An incredible assembly of:

—New York's most cartoonish billionaire
—New York's second-most corrupt former governor
—The reddest man in New York City

All trying, in public, to come up with a plan to thwart the overwhelming will of NYC voters.

Hell yeah! Delicious!

Why Did the New York Times Collaborate With a Eugenicist? The paper of record is doing race science with Zohran Mamdani.

NEW for @hellgatenyc.com:

Having failed spectacularly at stopping Mamdani, the Times is now unveiling its tried-and-true strategy to drum up controversy—and question the legitimacy of a person's humanity—by doing the dirtiest of work for the worst-faith actors.

hellgatenyc.com/nyt-race-sci...

Had a great time chatting with NYRB about Mamdani's win, the hurdles he still has to clear, Adams’s decisive unpopularity, Cuomo’s prickly campaign, and the characters who are NYC’s lifeblood.

AND why @hellgatenyc.com is making our mark in local media.

If Zohran Mamdani is mayor, he will have to navigate the contradictions inherent in leading the richest city in the world as a democratic socialist. We spoke to @emilyfmayer.bsky.social, @maxrn.bsky.social and Batul Hassan about the opportunities and risks created by his win.
