It’s Monday morning in New York City, where Mayor Eric Adams is refusing to implement a set of laws meant to expand access to key rental assistance subsidies, putting some people at risk of homelessness.
Here’s what else is happening:
- The city is rolling out its plan to make scaffolding less ugly by requiring developers to cover it in one of eight preapproved designs, or submit their own ideas for artwork.
- A head of broccoli, a recliner chair and an ankle monitor are some of the objects that wash up on the shore of Long Beach. See some of the other strange finds.
- The average rent for a one-bedroom apartment in New York City in June was $2,438.
- Lunge Run Club started in May with about 30 participants who showed up for a workout and to hopefully find a date. During its last meetup, the group had more than 1,000 walkers and runners who wore color-coded clothing to mark their relationship status, making it one of the hottest places to find love in the city right now.
- What’s your favorite doughnut in New York City? These are Eater’s top picks.
- A 150-year-old lighthouse in the Hudson River is in such bad shape that it was placed on the National Trust for Historic Preservation’s list of the country’s 11 most endangered historic places.
- The Lower East Side has its own historic site in need of some TLC. The Baruch Bathhouse has been abandoned for nearly half a century, and after years of proposals, a plan to turn it into an ice rink will not be moving forward.
- And finally, we're proud of you too, Arnold:
