A boat built for 10 carried 14 people to the Statue of Liberty and back only 12.
A 22-foot Bayliner bowrider chartered for a birthday outing capsized off Liberty Island around 10:25 p.m. Saturday, carrying 14 people against a stated capacity of 10 [11]. Sara Sanchez, 27, of Queens, and her 5-month-old daughter Antonella Garcia drowned; NYPD divers recovered them while the Coast Guard and a passing charter vessel pulled 12 others from the harbor [16][17]. Captain Manuel Hernandez, 46, faces 13 counts of reckless endangerment, and the Coast Guard is investigating whether he was running an illegal charter: any boat carrying more than six paying passengers must be Coast Guard-inspected and licensed, a threshold this vessel blew past (U.S. Coast Guard) [17].
“The water got into the boat. The boat went up, and when it went down — it was in seconds — it flipped over.”

Mamdani says the socialists have him on almost everything except the NYPD.
Mayor Mamdani, who vowed at his inauguration to govern as a Democratic Socialist, told SiriusXM's "The Clay Cane Show" that public safety is where he splits from the Democratic Socialists of America, praising the NYPD for the lowest murder and shooting numbers in recorded history this year [4]. DSA's national platform calls instead for demilitarizing police departments and moving toward "fully abolishing the police and prison system" [4]. The split resurfaced days earlier when NYC-DSA's transit working group tabled alongside city agency staff at Mamdani's Central Brooklyn bus town hall, a practice Citizens Union calls a breach of a line the Conflicts of Interest Board declined to draw this spring (City & State NY) [4].
“If you have two socialists in a room, there has to be at least one disagreement.”
“There needs to be a bright line between partisan political activity & government-run civic engagement.”
The average New York salary grew. The gap under it grew faster.
State Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli's annual Business Costs in New York City report found the average private-sector salary hit $129,030 in 2025, up an inflation-adjusted 6.5% since 2015 [28]. That citywide average buries a wide gap: securities workers averaged $561,770 against $48,620 for accommodation and food-service workers and $40,240 for social-assistance workers [28]. New York's wage growth actually trailed the nation's over that decade, 6.5% here against 10.1% nationally, even as commercial electricity here runs 28.20 cents a kilowatt hour, more than double the national average [28]. The report lands as Mayor Mamdani pushes affordability policies and higher taxes on top earners [28].
“New York City remains one of the world's premier places to do business because of its unmatched talent, innovation and access to customers.”

Sixth Avenue turned into one long block party Sunday for the 44th annual National Dominican Day Parade, more than 40 floats rolling from 37th Street to 55th Street behind grand marshal Dr. Ramón Tallaj of SOMOS Community Care [13][32]. Dominicans are the largest Hispanic group in the five boroughs, nearly 35% of the city's Latino population, and Sunday's crowd stretched across that whole history, from women who've marched every year for a decade to grandchildren born here who inherited the flag anyway [35][32]. "I feel so proud to be Dominican because we always bring our roots to every place we are and we stay," said Wendy Marines, watching from the crowd [34]. By Monday the avenue goes back to being just a commute, but for one Sunday it was the biggest Dominican block party New York throws all year.
