Good Tuesday afternoon in New York City, where "Billy on the Street" has been back on the street. Here's what else is happening:

Mayor Eric Adams announced that when the private employer vaccine mandate ends, municipal workers will still be required to have their shots, a policy that Kyrie Irving quickly slammed as a human rights violation.
According to a new MTA rider survey, the D train is the worst line, while the L train is the best.
More and more, New Yorkers are eating dinner early — as long as they can get a reservation at the buzzy restaurant of their choice. (Try Peking House?)

An opaque meetup called the Jan. 6 Solidarity Truth Press Conference has been scheduled for September 24th in Washington, D.C., and is billing itself as the "biggest J6 event to date," which is quite a claim.
A 20-year-old Colorado woman who'd been handcuffed and placed in a squad car that was inexplicably parked on railroad tracks is recovering from serious injuries after a freight train hit the car.
A city commissioner in Miami Beach is floating the idea of paying people a small bounty if they turn in one of the non-native iguanas (dead or alive!) that have taken over the city.
Who doesn't like a good pro-athlete-goes-undercover-at-a-tryout video? This one features Eli Manning at a Penn State walk-on tryout.
Brad Pitt is showing some of his ceramic art at a museum in Finland.
