Here’s what else is happening:
- City Councilmember Robert Holden of Queens has introduced a bill that would ban horse-drawn carriages by June 2026, without the option for them to be replaced by electric carriages as previously proposed.
- Some Con Ed customers say they're paying for their neighbors' electricity usage because of meter mix-ups.
- American exceptionalism: An Expedia report finds that Americans take the fewest vacations globally.
- Gen Zers seem to be living pretty well in NYC for $1,600 a month — in co-living spaces.
- George Santos says he's joining OnlyFans: “The moment you’ve all been waiting for!”
- What would it cost to shore up NYC’s robust arts and culture scene? About the same price as a few NYPD helicopters.
