The shed you loved and then resented is now a permanent fixture of the curb, minus the annual teardown.
Mayor Mamdani signed Council Member Lincoln Restler's bill making roadway dining permanent and year-round, ending the Adams-era rule that forced restaurants to dismantle setups from Nov. 30 through March 31. [1] The law also lets grocery stores apply for sidewalk cafe licenses and lets certain cafes expand their frontage with approval. [1] A roadway cafe is a DOT-licensed use of the curb lane rather than the sidewalk, which is why the agency still has to write rules before anyone can legally winterize one. [1] Mamdani held two events for the signing on the same day his lawyers were in a Staten Island courtroom defending the pied-a-terre tax rollout, The Real Deal reported. [19]
“Outdoor dining transformed our city once before, and now we are making sure it has a permanent place in NYC.”
“The Adams-era regulations nearly broke outdoor dining, but this law will successfully restore outdoor dining to neighborhoods across the five boroughs.”

Ten routes, 65,000 riders a day, and stretches where walking beats the bus. The jackhammers started Monday.
DOT and the MTA began construction on a redesign of the 116th Street crosstown corridor through Harlem and East Harlem, with red 24/7 bus lanes in both directions from Fifth Avenue to Pleasant Avenue and queue-jump signals that give buses the green before other traffic. [66][69] To carve out the lanes, the city is eliminating 19-foot shared parking-and-travel lanes and repurposing 61 parking spaces for curb extensions, pedestrian islands, speed humps and hardened daylighting, while adding metered parking and truck loading zones to break up the double parking riders blame for the crawl. [69] A parking-protected bike lane goes in on Pleasant Avenue between 116th and 120th Streets, connecting to lanes serving Randall's Island and the Harlem River waterfront. [66] Left turns from 116th onto Park Avenue under the elevated Metro-North tracks will be restricted. [69]
“When your bus is moving slower than you can walk, something isn't working.”
“Dedicated bus lanes and transit signal priority are proven solutions that are going to make a huge difference for the 65,000 riders who travel on 116th Street every day.”

Eleven people died on the Upper East Side. The fix starts with finding the cooling towers nobody registered.
Mamdani announced a slate of Legionnaires' measures a day before a Council oversight hearing into the summer cluster that killed 11 and sickened more than 90. [85][90] The Health Department and Department of Buildings will cross-check their systems to find unregistered cooling towers, the blind spot that also showed up in last year's Harlem outbreak, and violation hearings will now be scheduled within 15 days. [95][90] A citywide map of registered towers with inspection and compliance history is due by spring 2027, and a scientific advisory panel will study alternatives to cooling towers altogether. [80] Council Speaker Julie Menin has called the city's response insufficient, arguing communication with residents fell short. [95]
“When New Yorkers' health is at stake, government cannot wait for the crisis to pass before asking how it can do better.”
“Legionella outbreaks are hard. But let's not make the work harder by turning them into politics.”

Seven years after Joaquin Phoenix danced down them, the 132 steps on Shakespeare Avenue off 167th Street are still pulling crowds from across an ocean. A Spanish-language tour group turned up Tuesday with costumes for the photo shoot, while neighbors used the same stairs to get down to the 4 train, the way they have for decades. The block has made its peace with the attention in the most New York way available: Inaliz Berrocales was out on the sidewalk selling Joker T-shirts to fund a back-to-school giveaway of 200 backpacks on Sept. 19 at 1178 Anderson Ave. Tourists come for the movie; the neighborhood turns it into school supplies.
