How did a relatively standard union action spiral into four terminations and even more suspensions? Just ask the executives at Condé Nast.

New Yorkers didn't vote for Mamdani because they thought the vision of the City he elucidated and fought for during the campaign is something ineffable or doomed. They voted for him because he described a place they know and love and desperately don't want to abandon.

'This Is Not a Moment to Stop Campaigning' @workingfamilies.org Codirector Ana María Archila talks about billionaires, Governor Kathy Hochul, and NYC-DSA on the night of Zohran Mamdani's victory:

According to Thai Richards, the best way to know NYC is to run it: "There's certain cities that you have the opportunity to get a little bit deep with—you could find a lot of yourself through exploring it... I want true New Yorkers to appreciate their city more."

Forced overtime, cronyism in the C-suite, and a rising attrition rate are some of their biggest concerns for the next mayor of New York City to address in the NYPD, according to three from their ranks.

Five minutes with the mayor-elect

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.

After 3 years sparring with their billionaire owners for a basic union contract, workers at the NY Daily News are finally on the precipice of inking a deal—and clawing back some of what they've lost since hedge-fund vampires took over the paper in 2021.

Our final Mayoral Spew before the election looked at Zohran in the clubs, and how his supporters were planning a permanent campaign to advance his agenda once in office.

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...
