At Lehman College in the Bronx, 100s of people have packed the auditorium to rally for Gov. Hochul to pass taxes on the wealthy. Bernie Sanders will be speaking shortly, but first local DSA electeds are warming up the crowd. Hochul has remained opposed to tax increases during budget negotiations.

It’s official: Winter has gone on too long

Hell Gate keeps on growing! Now on staff, Julianne Escobedo Shepherd!!!!!!! HUGE!!!! Now everyone stop being mad at us!!!! hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-ke...

If just these 2:37 of this film existed, it should still win Best Picture. That is my Oscar commentary for this year, good luck all! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWK2...

Lololol NYC we cannot just be normal about opening up a new grocery store

Nick has become suspicious that this is all an elaborate ruse by everyone at Hell Gate to see if he can be driven insane covering the minutiae of this completely bonkers legal drama involving missing escrow money & the alleged machinations of the former head of BK Dems and all I can say is "maybe"

PARTIALLY SATISFIED

I demand satisfaction from both the NYT and NBC New York. (Yes, this is kinda annoying but smaller publications have to fight for shit like this.)

Going around the city interviewing the last surviving piles of snow

It's important to continue to innovate and over at @hellgatenyc.com we take that to heart. A.I. is here and it's going to change EVERYTHING. Also gambling is here and it's going to change EVERYTHING. Also, some other shit is here and you're fired. hellgatenyc.com/hell-gate-a-...

ah oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Industry is so funny because it started out as "what if currency traders doing cocaine was fun to watch" and ended with "what if instead of meeting Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell had a cool, only slightly evil friend"

Just underneath the absurdity lies one of the most volatile fault lines in city politics: The rift between elected government on the one hand, and the political power of the NYPD and the constellation of interests with which it is aligned on the other. hellgatenyc.com/mamdani-is-g...

You're laughing? Several cops from the NYPD's 6th Precinct in Manhattan were pelted with snowballs, absolutely creamed in a barrage of icy missles by participants of a staged snowball fight contentfest in Washington Square Park.... and you're laughing? hellgatenyc.com/nypd-officer...

POV: You shouldn’t have smoked that shit because now you’re waking up in the Tompkins Square Park igloo

I've done a lot of things for Hell Gate....but probably nothing as brave as....going 'stache to promote our new T-shirts!!! If you love me at my 1970s cop union official, you'll love me even MORE wearing a Hell Gate T-shirt. Subscribe or upgrade today to get it! hellgatenyc.com/finally-a-he...

Some photos from tonight’s blizzard

Deliveristas ending their shift and about to head home over the Williamsburg Bridge, though the blizzard. One of them, Salvador,tells me he’s happy for the cutoff by the city. “This is more dangerous than last snowstorm, harder to move in,” he tells me in Spanish.

The Virgin Trader Joe's: Ransacked, diminished, lacking all staples and needs. The Chad Key Food: Fully stocked, what snow storm, 80s music staples, abundance to the point of onions rolling around the aisles, if you use your own bag before checkout our security guy will engage

I think it is cute how the MTA safely stows a bunch of trains during snowstorms on the express tracks underground. It is like a safe little burrow for trains! Bring them hot cocoa. Turn the evil recipe digital ads to cozy fireplace videos.

There are things that you just deep down know about yourself and I am of the mind that I would be able to run a very good short order diner on Queens Boulevard in the mold of Alpha Donuts. I know this about myself and this is my truth.

I assure you this is all very important and is basically exposing the superstructure underlying Brooklyn's ramshackle political spoils system but it's also really confusing so luckily we made this really helpful graphic to explain who is working with who. hellgatenyc.com/frank-seddio...

How's Zohran doing during his first "tin cup" day? Who's to say? All I know is that I want him to keep taking bathroom breaks so the legislature can keep cutting to these incredible jams while in recess.

This isn't as much of a gotcha as NYT thinks—Townsend's building is incredibly poorly designed for such a large footprint. Half of the building is basically unusable for teaching....design failure, not really a capacity issue! www.nytimes.com/2026/02/07/n...

New York 2-0 against Boston today, pa’lante!

When it’s this vague we can only assume it is the Museum of Sex

At the nurses strike outside of Montefiore Hospital in the freezing Bronx, nurses and residents take a moment of silence for fallen nurse Alex Pretti

“The moment he took office, Zohran Mamdani already had a number of progressive laws just sitting there. The challenge will be securing the money and political will required to deploy them.” —@maxrn.bsky.social

Mamdani about to announce another Biden alum for his City Hall—Sam Levine, the former director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. He'll be named the commissioner of the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection, which looks to play a major role in Mamdani's pro-worker agenda.

I CANNOT GET ENOUGH OF THIS STORY IT RULES SO MUCH hellgatenyc.com/judges-dont-...

It’s so clear now he was just watching the takeoffs from LaGuardia and thinking about Sully this explains everything

The trainer insisted that nobody is being "scanned" by the tube, and that no one has gotten stuck either, though there is a "release valve" button to press on the inside of the tube in case that happens. The appearance of the tubes has people asking about the tubes!! hellgatenyc.com/puregym-entr...

OH, you dummies thought "Uncle Stevie" wasn't just doing this all for his casino? You'll fit right there when it's open you absolute RUBES

This is some incredibly fun reporting from @nickpinto.bsky.social for @hellgatenyc.com on some Brooklyn Dem messiness and a missing $2 million. hellgatenyc.com/frank-seddio...

NYPD Clears a Path for Federal Agents on Canal Street With Violent Arrests and Pepper Spray An immigration crackdown was scheduled for Saturday afternoon on Canal Street, but was abandoned after demonstrators and vendors caught wind of it.
