Imagine saying this on the record to the Times

El Olomega, a family-run Salvadoran pupusa truck and the last of the Red Hook Ball Field vendors, has shut down for the 2026 season. hellgatenyc.com/red-hook-bal...

Tonight is the first World Cup games in the Meadowlands! Stay safe and plan extra time for travel ... and don't plan on walking like @mosesnyc.bsky.social did https://youtube.com/shorts/iALpJa3pFoc?si=5HxO3pmjJkBbh8b7

My Mayor’s Muslim My Mama’s Jewish My Buddha’s James Edwards Bad Boys Forever

I bought coffee from every day from my corner Bodega for 7 years and the only words we ever exchanged was one day I put five quarters on the counter & he said “dollar fifty now boss.”

I can't stress enough to all you young'uns how the "real NYer" discourse of the early 00s will never be matched. Anyone here pre-Giuliani got to claim "bad old days" and by the early 00s there was finally a critical enough mass of people who weren't that they could be scorned at as a group.

Thanks to the Municipal Arts Society of NYC for inviting @mosesnyc.bsky.social to lead a Jane's Walk Tour of the future IBX corridor last weekend! A great opportunity to talk about transit and NYC's history (and for Moses to do some good planner pointing) 📸 Cameron Blaylock

You know, there’s “hostile architecture” and then there’s “unbridled malice architecture.”

The @mosesnyc.bsky.social influence. Give the mayor access to all of the city's observation decks.

In addition to making affordable housing in NYC, we're also keeping an eye on staffing at HPD — because we need a robust admin to deliver on its housing agenda. "Everything clicks when you are not 20% down on your headcount," @mosesnyc.bsky.social told Crains

There is a certain type of NY Times op-ed in which the author asks a lot of what they assume are "rhetorical questions" but which are, in fact, just "questions." www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/o...

Everything is aesthetics

This was just a quirky little side quest when i did it two years ago, but is looking increasingly relevant today www.instagram.com/reel/DXNEUU_...

Here's a neat Janes Walk on May 3 from @mosesnyc.bsky.social and @rpa.org tracking part of the IBX route in Brooklyn: www.mas.org/events/inter...

Today's Grand Army Plaza reminds me of the one time I was the main character on that other site... x.com/MosesNYC/sta...

As the father of a middle schooler I have seen the rebellion against AI forming there — even using “that’s AI, bro,” not indicating something is literally AI, but that something is metaphorically so — it’s sus, it’s bullshit, it’s bad weird

You have an FC St. Pauli jersey sitting in your closet, I cannot believe I have to miss both legs of Rayo v AEK Athens, we are not the same.

Happy March 15. Here is my favorite Ides of March meme:

.@nytimes.com has declared @mosesnyc.bsky.social as an official "observation deck aficionado." (Huge for us) Here's Moses talking to them about NYC's newest, free deck, the Municipal Building:

"Under the existing tax code, an Upper West Side building with 16 apartments had an annual tax bill of $50,000 in 2017. After it was converted [into a single-family home] the levies dropped to just $12,000." 🤦 www.bloomberg.com/graphics/202...

My immediate answer was “yes” but then after gaming out a possible run-of-show it has changed to “I’m not sure.”

Again: these idiots obviously saw that one episode of The Wire.

We're looking for a summer intern! The Ellis Calvin Memorial Internship will support our New York and Housing teams to address the region's affordability crisis. Learn more about Ellis + apply on our website: https://rpa.org/join/summer-internship-new-york-advocacy-intern

Every ICE agent should be put in jail for the rest of their lives.

He’s opening it so that people can get amazing panoramic city views for free rather than paying 30 or 40 bucks to go to 30 rock or the Empire State building. King shit

And big thank you to @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social for a final nudge on this issue! www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/fre...

Thank you to everyone who made this happen! www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpGR...

A true layup for the ADL which will say nothing about this because Greenblatt is a Kapo.

Big thank you to @vitalcitynyc.bsky.social & everyone who indulges my particular quixotic quest here www.vitalcitynyc.org/articles/fre...

It's unfortunate that Indiana Jones was radicalized by the radical left media into obstructing and harassing federal agents who are simply performing their duty.

The scam PAC Democrat grifter operations have to end. ActBlue needs to do some minimal vetting of these entities raising funds under their name.

“Stop calling me a killer or I’ll kill you”

I saw my third cousin (who is very famous) at a coffee shop downtown but he seemed busy so I didn’t bother him.

True but also Gracie Mansion is definitely haunted

Your weekend listening just dropped — the latest episode of RPA Radio is now live. Moses Gates interviews Vlada Kenniff, president of New York City Public Housing Preservation Trust, about the work Trust does to preserve public housing in NYC. Listen: https://bit.ly/4oSGHHz

Terrific project

I am once again re-upping my most rock-solid NYC prediction, that the BQE will fall down within my lifetime.

Moral of this story is that squatting is legal… if you’re rich enough and famous enough — www.nytimes.com/2025/11/12/n...

If I’m understanding these ppl correctly, all it takes to deter lethal and sexual violence is an almost-never-enforced $2.00 cover charge? That seems like a far more efficient solution to crime than Musk’s Personal Robot Stalker.

In 2006 a high school English teacher asked students to write to a famous author & ask for advice. KURT VONNEGUT - born 103yrs ago today - was the only one to respond. His reply was a doozy.

Current line to get in the City Nerd book sale going on at Surrogates Court

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Schumer had a chance to repudiate the gutter racism and Islamophobia of Cuomo's campaign and he just fucking didn't. And that is disqualifying. He should be ashamed and we the voters should make sure he feels that shame.

Also - this talk is all very rich considering it’s coming from people who kvetch for a living.
