Good Tuesday morning in New York City, where the mayor's house in Bed-Stuy is rat-free.
Here's what else is happening:
- The New York Hall of Science has a new exhibit that lets you simulate driving a city bus.
- With all due respect to Mayor Adams' press office, these are not "just shirts."
- Despite Gov. Kathy Hochul's push for more people to get released early from state prisons, hundreds of otherwise eligible detainees aren't being freed due to a shortage of housing options that aren't classified as "shelters."
- Authorities said Petros Krommidas, a 29-year-old Long Island Democrat who's running for a seat on the Nassau County Legislature, has been missing for nearly a week.
- A YouTuber has been arrested for pretending to pass out in his car in Times Square. (He claimed he was shooting a video of himself testing the NYPD's emergency response time.)
- Mark Carney will remain Canada's prime minister after yesterday's election.
- In other news from America's hat, the Canadian Journal of Cardiology published a new study claiming that drinking champagne, eating fruit and keeping a positive mood could all reduce the risk of sudden cardiac arrest.
- Jeremy Renner's new memoir about getting run over by a snow plow is on shelves now.
