Good Wednesday morning from New York City, where the Cornelian Cherries are popping. Here's what else is happening:

The New York City Department of Transportation plans to physically elevate about 100 crosswalks a year in an effort to keep drivers from plowing into pedestrians and cyclists.
The NYPD said one man is responsible for attacking seven different Asian women over the course of last Sunday night in Manhattan.
The New York Post has the uniform reveal for the NYPD's new anti-gun unit, the team being assembled as a quasi-resurgence of the old plainclothes units. This time, however, the cops will have "NYPD" draped all over them.
The first driver to operate an outer-borough green cab has turned in her license, signaling the challenge that green cabbies have faced between the pandemic and the proliferation of Uber and Lyft.
Three BBC reporters spent Tuesday watching Russian state-controlled TV and discovered that it's full of lies about what's going on in Ukraine.
Because Russia isn't telling the truth about this war, independent nonprofit groups that are tracking the invasion have become the go-to source for concerned women who want to find out if their sons and husbands in the Russian army have been killed.
What do ya know, O.C. star Ben McKenzie has emerged as the leading celebrity "no-coiner," sounding the alarm that most bitcoin stuff is a scam.
Prince Harry, fresh off receiving an NAACP award during Black History Month, has announced some investments in women-related things for Women's History Month.
