Spring is coming, and so is $50 million for parks! We’re investing in parks in historically underfunded neighborhoods across all five boroughs starting with:

Weeksville was one of the largest free Black communities in pre-Civil War America. Today, it remains a cornerstone of this city, but its history has too often been overlooked. This short film is the story of Weeksville's rich, living history — and its vibrant future.

Iftar, Day 15

DSNY has been pulling 12-hour shifts since winter storm Fern. I stopped by during shift change today to say thank you. They deserve more than just donuts, so please: Next time you see a DSNY worker, say thank you. They’ve kept this city moving through the worst of it.

We’re suing Instant Recovery, a Bronx towing company that has been breaking the law and scamming New Yorkers with illegal junk fees, overcharges, and cash-only demands.   No more taking advantage of New Yorkers stranded on the side of the road.

Happy Holi, New York City! Growing up, Holi was more than a celebration of spring – it was a chance to embrace joy & revel with family. It's been a long winter & spring is much anticipated. I wish New York City's Hindu communities an extra colorful Holi – may the warmth come soon enough.

Tonight I broke fast with the NYPD Muslim Officers Society, and the family of late Detective Didarul Islam.   For many officers, Ramadan means breaking fast alone on patrol. Tonight, we came together for iftar, and to remember Detective Islam. His commitment to this city will never be forgotten.

Iftar, Day 14

🚨 Big news for the littlest New Yorkers: 2-K is coming.   Starting this year, we’re delivering 2,000 FREE child care seats for 2-year-olds across our city.   By Fall 2027, we'll be ready to serve 12,000 kids.   Grateful to our partner in this work, @governor.ny.gov, for her support.

During Ramadan, delivery workers spend their days traversing the city — often fasting, often alone — pulling over to catch the sunset with a date and water. Work that is so often solitary deserves moments of solidarity. Thank you, Los Deliveristas Unidos, for hosting a beautiful iftar tonight.

Iftar, Day 13

In below-freezing temperatures, an open door can mean the difference between life & death. This weekend, the team at OnPoint NYC kept their doors open 24/7 so vulnerable New Yorkers had somewhere safe to go. Since 2021, they’ve served 7k+ people & intervened in 2k+ overdoses.

Little New Yorkers. Big News. TOMORROW.

Big news for New York’s cutest. March 3rd.

Iftar, Day 12

Scenes from the 28th annual Lunar New Year Parade and Festival, celebrating the Year of the Fire Horse. Beautifully hosted by Better Chinatown USA.

For over a month, NYC nurses stood firm and refused to accept half-measures. It was a privilege to join them on the picket line then, and an honor to join them at the bowling lanes to celebrate their victory with a few mores strikes.

Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.

Weeksville tells the story of true self-determination. Today we celebrate the full restoration of the Hunterfly Road Houses at Weeksville Heritage Center — preserving not just buildings, but a living legacy of Black resilience and self-governance.

Iftar, Day 10
