A really lovely remembrance of the dive bar owner in Chicago who inspired the enduring image of Greek-American diaspora - friendly, bawdy, diner guy. By @risenc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/2026/05/20/d...

I love the NY transit press. @jmartineznyc.bsky.social with the laptop save, cos three of us were sharing one mic

APPROVED: LIRR monthly ticket holders will get about a 13% refund in May, for four days of disruption during the strike. Most refunds will be automatic. Will cost the MTA about $2.4M

MTA will refund monthly LIRR ticket holders for 4 days of disruptions caused by the strike -- a little less than 13% refund. Most refunds will happen automatically, for ppl who bought on the app. Will cost the MTA $2.4M. MTA voting on it soon (can't imagine they dont approve)

I’m gonna go sleep for 12 hours. Don’t nobody strike in the meantime

With Long Island Rail Road service suspended because of a worker strike, New York transit officials have arranged other travel options for commuters who cannot work from home, but officials warned that this contingency plan could not accommodate all the passengers who rely on the railroad.

Looks like the LIRR deal will come down to the wire. Management and unions still trading offers, with a midnight deadline looming. Here's the latest on what a strike could mean: www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/n...

LIRR workers could walk off the job as early as Saturday, shutting down the busiest passenger railroad in the country. Here's what to know (free link): www.nytimes.com/2026/05/13/n...

USDOT today said they'll appeal their loss on NYC's congestion pricing toll. They face long odds to overturn it. MTA's response: "Congestion pricing is working – fewer cars, less pollution, faster commutes. Secretary Duffy has already lost in court and if he wants to see us there again, let’s go."

Super speeders story is on A1 today, and the comments section is open again! Come yell at me: www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/n...

New York could soon require the worst speeders in the city to install a device that caps their driving speed. It's an idea that's gaining traction in several states, and Gov. Hochul is pushing to include the program in the state budget. I took a test drive: www.nytimes.com/video/nyregi...

NJT confirms our reporting and adds another doozy: train trips from NY to NJ for World Cup games will cost $150 round trip; a limited number of shuttle bus tickets will cost $80; and if you manage to find parking at the nearby mall, it’s $225 and up www.nytimes.com/2026/04/17/n...

The Trump admin has agreed to pay for its share of the Second Avenue Subway extension, after the MTA sued them for ~$60M and breach of contract www.nytimes.com/2026/04/16/n...

NEW: Rail tickets to and from the FIFA World Cup games in Jersey could actually cost closer to $150, more than 10 times the typical cost, and higher than what's previously been reported www.nytimes.com/2026/04/16/n...

BREAKING: Hochul will formally propose a yearly tax surcharge on second homes in NYC that are worth $5 million or more, she said on Tuesday. The exact cost of the surcharge has not yet been ironed out, but the governor hopes to raise $500M annually that would be used to address the city's deficit.

“This is all like synchronized swimming,” Mr. Mansylla said. “To build a structure in New York City in, what, 48 hours? That’s as fast as it gets.”

The New York Times used air traffic control audio, flight data and surveillance footage to reconstruct the nine seconds before the incident, the first fatal crash at LaGuardia in more than three decades. Those nine seconds were critical.

New York is great because of immigrants "The drop-off in migration from abroad was the largest in the country and — along with more New Yorkers leaving for other places — halted the recent growth of the city’s population and blunted its post-pandemic recovery." www.nytimes.com/2026/03/26/n...

Here are the 20 stations where MTA has installed new fancy faregates

Should these abandoned railroad tracks in central Queens become a park? A train line? New report out today argues that both are possible at a lower price, with bigger benefits, than the MTA thinks. Will Mayor Mamdani, who supported it last year, back the idea now? www.nytimes.com/2026/03/25/n...

Been waiting for someone to pick up the mantle of "a lot of post-covid new dev kinda sucks" and @davidfbrand.bsky.social does not disappoint gothamist.com/news/crappy-...

President Trump has tried to withhold billions of dollars in federal funding to coerce states, punish opponents, remake programs and impose his views. His targets have repeatedly sued to stop him, and the courts have repeatedly rebuked him — only for the president to try again and again.

Ernie Anastos had me on his show, back in 2019, to talk about Greek diners. Probably the proudest my Greek mom has ever been of me. He was really genuine and friendly, on and off camera. Αιώνια του η μνήμη

“It can take up to seven agencies to approve a very small event in New York City,” Clarke said, which could include any event that involves amplified sound or the sale of food
