You wouldn't know it from talking to most public officials, watching TV news, or reading the Post, but the 2019 reforms drove recidivism down, making everyone safer.

Now that the dust has begun to clear from the election, let's take stock of what really matters: Who's flying high, and who's eating shit. Winners: Sliwa, tenants in rent-stabilized apartments, and Hell Gate (duh)! Losers: Christopher Columbus, Bloomberg, and Cuomo.

Fonty's Deli and Dukaan makes hefty, unique, punchy as hell sandwiches with care (even during prime time, when the ordering line stretches out the door). Check out the latest addition to our $20 Dinner Map from @scoboco.bsky.social.

Bail reform not only made New York more just, it also literally made it safer. Too bad our elected leaders, public safety officials, and the overwhelming majority of the press are so deeply invested in a narrative entirely divorced from empirical reality. hellgatenyc.com/bail-reform-...

The non-stop Maddrey, Kaz, Shell scandals plus the Adams/Banks strategy of trying to suppress crime by blanketing the city in OT shifts really has done a number on PD morale — hellgatenyc.com/three-nypd-c...
