25 out of 25. You Should Run For Mayor Congratulations - you don't just know New York, you are New York. You've mastered the subway transfers, perfected the sidewalk shuffle, and probably have a favorite coffee cart guy who knows your order before you say a word. From uptown to downtown, you navigate the city with the ease of someone who's lived here a lifetime. Honestly, if you threw your hat in the ring for mayor, you'd have the boroughs behind you.

screenshot from the new york times: Mayor Eric Adams arrived at Casa Cipriani, a private club in Lower Manhattan, for the nightlife impresario Richie Akiva's annual Met Gala after-party, just before 1 a.m. Mr. Adams, whose approval rating recently hit a record low, stood in a private section in front of a pole where a woman danced with several $20 bills tucked into the straps of her bikini. As two more dancers appeared, Mr. Adams posed for photos and chatted with Jonathan Cheban, the reality television personality, while "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent played over
Screenshot from The New Yorker: One morning a few weeks ago, I met de Blasio at his regular coffee shop in Park Slope. He had just come from the gym—the same one that he’d insisted on commuting to every morning from Gracie Mansion, no matter how much grief the press gave him for it—and was wearing sweats. He held forth among his fellow-patrons with a spirit of magnanimous, possibly unreciprocated camaraderie, greeting a startled man by the door with a familiar “How you doing, brother?” and ordering his breakfast (scrambled egg whites, cheddar, ham, and tomato on multigrain toast) as “mi sandwich especial.” These days, de Blasio most often makes the news for his love life or for such momentous moves as dyeing his salt-and-pepper crewcut. But he’s sensed a bit of de Blasio nostalgia creeping into town. “Since I left office, the No. 1 thing that people come up to me on the street and talk about is pre-K,” he told me, lacing his iced espresso with a heavy pour of simple syrup. “The No. 2 thing that people talk about is that Onion headline.” He quoted it for me, savoring every word: “Well, well, well, not so easy to find a mayor that doesn’t suck shit, huh?”
Several people have told me that it makes them sad to contemplate how their years of parking knowledge will disappear when they die. There’s our Talmudic reading of the alternate-side calendar, with its we-are-the-world assemblage of holidays: to celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension, Eid al-Adha, and Tisha B’Av, a day of fasting that commemorates various Jewish disasters, nobody has to move their car.
screenshot of text from the New Yorker: Ben Furnas, the executive director of the street-reform nonprofit Transportation Alternatives, is a free-parking skeptic, but nevertheless told me, of the calendar, “It brings tears to my eyes. It’s one of the most beautiful illustrations of multiculturalism anywhere in the world. It’s just deeply hilarious that it’s associated with having to move your car on a certain day. It sort of shows the ad-hoc, historically contingent way in which we found ourselves here.”

tweets from the city of new york account which read: NEW: @NYCMayor and @NYCHealthCommr have provided an update on new measures to help limit the spread of bird flu, following recent cases of H5N1 detected in multiple birds at NYC parks and zoos. If you come across a dead bird, please avoid touching it. @NYSDEC is testing deceased birds found in public parks for the virus. The risk to New Yorkers remains low.
