Although we’ve been talking about how to safely reopen schools during the coronavirus pandemic for months, it can sometimes feel like we’re not any closer than we were back then. In recent weeks, schools in some states have opened their doors, employing a variety of measures to try to keep the virus out of their…

Seven northeastern states are joining forces to fight the coronavirus outbreak and pooling their resources to purchase essential medical equipment and testing supplies, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced Sunday.

China Gives New York 1,000 Ventilators as U.S. Government Continues to Drag Its Feet

At least China is taking New York’s ventilator shortage seriously, even if President Donald Trump won’t. New York Governor Andrew Cuomo announced in a Saturday press conference that Chinese officials are facilitating a donation of 1,000 ventilators scheduled to be delivered at John F. Kennedy International Airport before the day’s end. “We finally got some…

Here’s What You Need to Know About New York’s Plastic Bag Ban Kicking Off in March

On any given day walking through New York City, plastic bags are everywhere you turn. They’re at your corner bodega where you order your sausage, egg, and cheese on a roll; they hold the last-minute necessities you picked up on the way home for dinner; they litter our streets, our subway stations, and our parks.…

More than a dozen states are suing to stop a deal that would see two of the top U.S. telecoms companies merge into one, a move that state attorneys general argue would harm consumers and raise prices.

Seeing New York City During Hurricane Irene Was Like Seeing a Post-Apocalyptic Wasteland

Though New York City largely managed to avoid the wrath of Hurricane Irene, the windy bitch still managed to strip the soul of the city that never sleeps. Watch it. It was like a post-apocalyptic city evaporated of life and people. https://gizmodo.com/hurricane-irene-mostly-a-storm-of-hype-updated-5835173 I was surprised that New Yorkers actually heeded the advice of authorities and…

When You Put a Megaphone in the Middle of New York City, People Will Say Nice Things

Yes, the megaphone was attached to a podium that said “Say Something Nice”, but you half expect some New York jackass to hijack the megaphone and curse everybody out (maybe it was edited out!). But seriously, watching this will brighten up your Monday. It was a stunt pulled by the lovely folks of Improv Everywhere:…

New York from Day to Night in One Picture

Photographer Stephen Wilkes captured New York, in day and night, in a single photograph. Well, it’s actually multiple photographs taken over a 15-hour period but still, the resulting image captures all sides of this glorious city. This particular picture is the famous Flatiron building and as you can see, the left side is daytime: people…

What the Statue of Liberty Looked Like in 1886

Thanks to some photoshop wizardry, we have a picture of what the Statue of Liberty looked like in her younger years. Which is to say, very penny like! But no matter what color her dress is, she’s still a beaut. As you probably already know, Lady Liberty was made out of copper. But oxidation caused…

Today is the 200th birthday of the street map that spawned the Greatest City in the World. The NY Times has a revealing story on how the grid, which mapped 11 avenues and 155 crosstown streets, transformed New York into a city of right angles. The urban planners had a ton of foresight! Just think…

A Rooftop Park in the Middle of New York

Aside from Manhattan’s sprawling Central Park, it’s not always easy to find some pleasant green space—which is what makes Lincoln Center’s new rooftop lawn such a terrific idea. A grassy hill in a busy urban center—the perfect compromise. The project, dubbed the Hypar Pavilion, adds 7,200 square feet of gently sloping grass (and a restaurant…

Watch Times Square Transform From Trash to Tourist Treasure

Times Square is synonymous with everything squeaky clean and American. Souvenirs! Flashing lights! Gigantic candy stores! But it wasn’t always that way. It’s taken 30 years to convert the landmark, a fascinating progression the New York Times has captured perfectly. The packed stretch of Manhattan’s iconic 42nd street is barely recognizable in its 1989 form—an…

Where Is New York City’s Secret Subway Art Gallery?

Somewhere underneath New York City, in an abandoned subway station that was never completed, there’s a gallery featuring the work of over a hundred well-known street artists. It sounds amazing, but there’s one problem: no one knows where it is. The Underbelly Project, as its two shadowy curators call it, is an exhibition space the…
