Good Thursday afternoon in New York City, where Gracie Mansion is vibrating with spirit. Here's what else is happening:

The weather guy behind New York Metro Weather told Hell Gate what's required for a "vibes are 10/10" day: mid 60s to low 70s, low humidity, mild breeze, sunshine, and typically some kind of celebratory bonus (e.g. a beautiful July 4th).
Second City, Chicago's famed improv theater and training center, is opening a location in Williamsburg.
WABC radio personality Bernard McGuirk, who most recently co-hosted "Bernie & Sid in the Morning" and was the longtime executive producer for Imus, has died of cancer at the age of 64.
A couple hundred Park Slope residents have signed a change.org petition demanding that Mayor Adams and the NYPD do more to catch the person who allegedly murdered a dog with a stick two months ago.
Congrats to French author Annie Ernaux for winning the Nobel prize in literature.
A hedge fund has created an ETF called the Inverse Cramer ETF — which is still awaiting approval — that would essentially bet against everything the controversial CNBC host Jim Cramer tells people to buy(!).
Michael Fanone, the foul-mouthed D.C. cop who was beaten while defending the Capitol from January 6th rioters but resents being called a #resistance hero (though he did write a memoir called Hold the Line), gave a lively interview to Rolling Stone.
The federal government is considering requiring beer, wine and liquor manufacturers to list ingredients and calorie counts on their bottles.
Spotify is cancelling 10 of its original podcasts, including shows produced by Gimlet. (Spotify has 500 original or exclusive podcasts.)
Meanwhile, Arthur, the cartoon aardvark from the beloved children's show, is just getting into the podcast game.
In the battle between coupes and v-shaped martini glasses, the v-shaped kind are gaining favor among high-end bartenders, though they prefer the more vertical, Art Deco-y ones that are less prone to spilling all over the place.
