WELCOME TO THE GOLDEN AGE OF NEW YORK CITY

"Hitching your hopes to a single politician is always a fool’s errand; but the night was full of joy for an optimistic, pluralistic, ecumenical vision of the city that celebrates its diversity, and all the weird and wonderful reasons we all live here despite the rent." nygroove.nyc/nyc-mayoral-...

"Ignore Andrew Cuomo's 'I won by losing' concession speech. It's the last gasp of a man rejected by history." @davecolon.bsky.social on last night's results nygroove.nyc/andrew-cuomo...

I’m super grateful to all the mayoral election coverage from @hellgatenyc.com @nygroove.nyc @thecity.nyc @cityandstateny.bsky.social @nysfocus.bsky.social and many more local outlets. And it’s real important that we keep supporting them along the way! (Worker owned ftw aha)

. @davecolon.bsky.social bids good riddance to the worst rubbish imaginable nygroove.nyc/andrew-cuomo...

This was the moment when everyone at the @nygroove.nyc’s party at TV Eye realized it was real: Mamdani mayor @hellgatenyc.com called the race for newly elected New York City mayor Zohran Mamdani just half an hour later

More cheers, and a WTF, for Zohran Mamdani at TV Eye with the @nygroove.nyc

Scenes from the @nygroove.nyc party at TV Eye as the votes come in for Zohran

This many New Yorkers haven't voted in a mayoral election since the 2005 race between Bloomberg and Fernando Ferrer, when 1.3 million NYC residents voted.

By noon, with nine hours left of voting, we've already surpassed the number of New Yorkers voting in a mayoral election going back two decades. Here's @thecity.nyc's first pass from the polls. www.thecity.nyc/2025/11/04/n...

Andrew Cuomo on @thebrianlehrershow.bsky.social right now says Mamdani has been "divisive" for the Italian-American community because he once gave the finger to a Columbus statue; but not every Italian New Yorker agrees: nygroove.nyc/italians-for...

This was the one I was undecided on as well and local coverage from @nygroove.nyc & @hellgatenyc.com helped me immensely. Support your local news! Now more than ever!

One concern I have about electing Zohran... What if he and his wife usher in a new wave of every day high fashion? Is an affordable and functioning city really worth looking this hot on a Tuesday!?

Mamdani says our story from last week helped him decide to vote no on prop 6, read it here: nygroove.nyc/proposition-...

Ric Burns talked to @davecolon.bsky.social about whether New York City is actually turning 400 this year (and also about Dave's Ric Burns tattoo) nygroove.nyc/i-showed-ric...

Folks, I asked nicely and they gave me The Sticker even though I’d already voted days ago.

Well it happened: I met Ric Burns and showed him my ridiculous "New York: A Documentary Film" tattoo nygroove.nyc/i-showed-ric...

🚨🎃 for my fellow NYC halloween voters and sticker obsessives: there are a total of FOUR items available to you today — ask your poll worker! 1. halloween voting sticker 2. halloween **temporary tattoo** 3. borough-specific early voting sticker 4. regular early voting sticker gotta catch ‘em all 🗳️

New members-only post! Read what happened when @davecolon.bsky.social showed Ric Burns his Ric Burns tattoo, plus the filmmaker's thoughts on whether New York is actually turning 400 this year nygroove.nyc/i-showed-ric...

I like this article. From my experience as a local candidate that was recruited to run by the county party only to be told they’re going to put their resources into helping Biden win, moving the Election Day to even years will drain the down ballot races of meaning.

yours truly quoted here

I've been saying this continually - moving local elections to be in the shadow of national elections will boost turnout at the expense of human and journalist attention to local elections. Ever struggled finding independent details on a candidate? It'll be worse. No on 6

it's the story @davecolon.bsky.social jealously called "the most provincial take on the website" so far

This is a good piece and has convinced me to vote no on 6 - local politics are interesting and ought to get their own coverage, and given the quality of the average low-frequency voter, the last thing we need is more of them involved in local races

as theaters across the country struggle, new york has been in the midst of a full-fledged boom in small, independent cinemas showing off-the-beaten-path options (plus some studio fare too). here's where to find 'em: nygroove.nyc/10-microcine...

moving election day to presidential years might seem innocent enough, but in reality it would hurt our already-beleaguered local news landscape. @timdonnelly.com explains: nygroove.nyc/proposition-...

The vibiest spots to visit in New York's 'cemetery belt' this Halloween nygroove.nyc/cemetery-bel...

It was a joy working with The New York Groove on our first article together--looking forward to doing many more!

Exactly what I was JUST wandering around my apartment muttering that I needed, amazing!

I have been very conflicted and somewhat underinformed about the housing proposals. Now I'm more informed and somewhat less conflicted.

ever wondered why there are seemingly endless cemeteries along the Brooklyn-Queens border? want a cheat sheet of the coolest ones to visit (and which celebs are buried in them) to get you through the rest of spooky season? well, have we ever got good news for you: nygroove.nyc/cemetery-bel...

this election isn't ONLY about the mayor, there are also a bunch of ballot referendums to sort through, most of them to do with the future of our city's housing supply. @davecolon.bsky.social waded into the policy weeds so you don't have to: nygroove.nyc/housing-refe...
