It's Tuesday afternoon in New York City, where the rain has begun.
Here’s what else is happening:
- The migrant shelter complex at Floyd Bennett Field has been evacuated ahead of this storm.
- Vendors who were evicted from the Brooklyn Bridge pedestrian path have relocated to the sidewalks of DUMBO.
- Curbed teamed up with an architecture firm to create a hypothetical redesign of a NYCHA complex — and they came up with a plan to gut renovate the buildings and give all the units balconies ... which would realistically require "renting some, maybe all, of the new apartments at market rates," but hey it looks cool.
- Long Island City is getting a giant H Mart food court.
- Police arrested ten people for breaking into the Chabad-Lubavitch headquarters in Crown Heights and attempting to thwart a construction crew from filling in secret tunnels underneath the building.
- Alison Roman has opened a little general store in Bloomville, N.Y., which is an hour and a half west of Hudson.
- "I know now more than ever that we need a place for honest debate and discussion without the hall monitors": Don Lemon is starting a show on X.
- Waxahatchee and M.J. Lenderman have a new song together, yee haw!
- And finally, ain't gonna eat ya:
