This rules!

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?

The level Linda Ronstadt was operating at in 1992, unmatched www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lmhk...

Damned hungry hot outside right now www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkUQ...

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

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. hellgatenyc.com/what-ice-age...

Happy bday of full website/paywall to @hellgatenyc.com!!! Proving the haters wrong for three full years now.

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-...

"Ah, yeah we're uhhhh gonna need more hats" THE HELL GATE 99 CENT HAT SALE WOW WOW WOW SERIOUS DEAL hellgatenyc.com/99-cent-hat-...

Hell yea! Celia's joining us for the summer! Summer Hell Gate assembled. hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-ne...

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! hellgatenyc.com/david-paters...

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. www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

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.

Zohran putting up red state presidential election type numbers

Bob Holden, who ran on both the Democratic and Republican lines, endorsed two separate staffers running on the Dem and Rep line...and they both won! Shows you can't bet against a graphic designer!!!!

Holy shit we have yet another certified banger of the Mamdani-era, this time Hell Gate’s Adlan Jackson cornering Gristedes owner John Catsimatidis at an insane press conference he had. Only at @hellgatenyc.com!!! hellgatenyc.com/john-catsima...

This is my burden. My raison d'etre. I must write about the fake pool in the East River. I will do it today, tomorrow, and until I myself am just particles floating through the tidal strait itself, between the narrows, and into the great endless deep beyond. hellgatenyc.com/the-plus-poo...

It's going to heat up and you'll want to be at the beach this afternoon! So come on out to the Rockaway Film Festival to watch NETWORK, co-presented by @hellgatenyc.com!!!! There will be tickets at the door and Hell Gate's limited-edition BEACH TOWEL!! www.rockawayfilmfestival.org/event/network

The Master (trash) but not Inherent Vice (high art), this list stinks!!! www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

📻 Listen to our own @maxrn.bsky.social continue his media blitz about how Zohran Mamdani's campaign shocked NYC and the world, this time on Al Jazeera's The Take. omny.fm/shows/the-ta...

Went on NPR's It's Been a Minute to talk about Zohran Mamdani winning the Democratic nomination for mayor, what this means for New Yorkers, and the possible shockwaves it will send out to national politics. Very fun to break it all down with great company. www.npr.org/2025/06/27/1...

Want to know how Zohran Mamdani got here? Great news—I have 4500 words from the frontlines of the campaign for the NYRB. Published before Tuesday, but it's all there....read local journalists who saw it coming! www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Schadenfreude, get your schadenfreude here!!! (Photos from Cuomo's depressing election night LOSING party) hellgatenyc.com/andrew-cuomo...

Ladies and gentleman, the F train

Max Rivlin-Nadler @maxrn.bsky.social asks: Can Zohran Mamdani win the New York City mayoral race?

Democrats are determined to “self immolate” rather than empower their young constituents. www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Thank you to @jamellebouie.net for the very fine company on his reading suggestions for this week! You can check out the article here and get the full context for why the mayor’s race has become about….everything. www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Who are the masked thugs in Lower Manhattan kidnapping people? Over at @hellgatenyc.com I teamed up with Liv Veazey and Steffi Keith to talk about the last few weeks in immigration court, and an agency acting somewhat within the law but outside of human bounds. hellgatenyc.com/ice-gone-rog...

There are many people worth reading on the NYC mayoral race but of those worthwhile people @maxrn.bsky.social is the best www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Do you want 4500 words on Zohran Mamdani, whether he can win, what this all means for NYC politics, and the future of this beautiful city that I and other people (but not SOME people) love? GREAT! The folks at ‪@nybooks.com‬ let me go long on THE MAMDANI COALITION. www.nybooks.com/online/2025/...

Clear sign you're getting a call from a Cuomo flack? The 518, 914, or 631 area code, lololol

I’m here covering the arrest of comptroller Brad Lander while he was escorting migrants at 26 Federal Plaza on Tuesday morning. @hellgatenyc.com’s continuing coverage here: hellgatenyc.com/brad-lander-...

Listen, we're straight shooters at Hell Gate. We play no favorites. Like, say if anyone wracked up speeding violations in school zones, and then parked their car in the middle of traffic in midtown Manhattan. You know what we'd call you? An ASSHOLE. Here's one. hellgatenyc.com/cuomo-derang...

If you're looking for the rods from god absolute evisceration of the NYT's cowardly Cuomo endorsement from this morning, look no further than Nick Pinto's absolutely expert dismantling for @hellgatenyc.com. Were I a Sulzberger who wrote this, I'd sell the damn paper. hellgatenyc.com/nytimes-vote...

Getting underway at the Zohran/AOC rally. Brass band, banners, lots of energy. The Kid Mero is hosting??

New swag alert: At the big Zohran/AOC GOTV rally at Terminal 5, people who voted early today are getting these hand fans.

The poll showing Mamdani winning is interesting but way more interesting is the Honan Strategy Group showing Cuomo only up by 12%.....That's a 16% collapse in six weeks from a pollster that is...how should we say...very charitable to the former Governor

Speaking on this panel in an hour with some incredible other worker-owned media folks. Listen up! Tune in! Worker-owned is, in fact, the future! www.wgaeast.org/event/worker...

Did ICE call in a fake emergency to the FDNY to give cover to a van leaving full of immigrants? They've done it before and looks like they've done it again. @hellgatenyc.com with the scoop. hellgatenyc.com/fdny-ice-hea...

It’s is half an hour past when Celebrate Brooklyn wanted Grace Jones to stop playing because of curfew but even after they turned on the house lights she stormed back out lol

Southland Tales vindicated once again

ICE agents lingering outside of immigration court preparing to make an arrest at 26 Federal Plaza this afternoon. "Hey you're being filmed," one officer says to the other. "Mask up."

RIGHT WHERE WE WANT THEM KNICKS IN 7 hellgatenyc.com/knicks-in-7/

Missed this scoop by @maxrn.bsky.social because I was partying in Detroit but this makes me unfathomably pissed… the guy who wants to be mayor of NYC hasn’t paid rent or property taxes in 20 years? LOSER

KISS OF DEATH
