Belmont Park ran its first races in three years on Friday, in a new $455 million glass grandstand with 10,000 seats, down from 27,000.
The Elmont track reopened Friday after a rebuild financed with a state loan, with a bigger paddock, a synthetic track for winter racing and about five times more green space [214]. It now replaces Aqueduct in Queens, which closed as part of the deal [227]. Outside alcohol and coolers are banned; you can still bring food and one non-alcoholic, non-glass drink [214]. Take the LIRR to Elmont-UBS Arena, or the N6 bus [214].
“When the starting bell rings and the horses thunder out of the gate, a whole new era of racing officially begins,”
“I don’t love it. As a common fan who likes to sit in those seats, I think we’re catering a little bit to the richer in the box seats,”

Politics | Spectrum News NY1Starting Saturday, Tremont Avenue is buses and trucks only from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., seven days a week, on a half-mile stretch the Bx36 crawls through.
The eastbound busway runs from Third Avenue past Southern Boulevard to Belmont Avenue [121]. Cars and cabs can turn onto it to park or drop someone off, but have to leave at the next street; that is how a busway differs from a bus lane, where cars may still drive through outside the posted hours [121]. The busway is one of the Bronx projects the Adams administration paused and Mamdani restarted [118].
“The 36 is super slow. It takes 30 minutes to get all the way to University literally because there's so much traffic,”
“I think they should've made the time a little bit later. Maybe from 7-5 you know.”
The city's annual performance report shows the average ambulance run to a life-threatening emergency grew from 11 minutes, 21 seconds to 13 minutes, 9 seconds.
The Mayor's Management Report covers July 2025 through June 2026: six months of Adams, six of Mamdani [1]. City Hall led with potholes, housing and falling crime; the Citizens Budget Commission found 11 of 20 key indicators moved the right way and six the wrong way [1]. FDNY blamed the ambulance slowdown partly on thinner EMS staffing, and 11 hospital-run ambulances left the 911 system [1].
“This year’s Mayor’s Management Report shows what happens when City Hall puts those priorities into action,”
“Not surprisingly, this manifests as a mixed picture, showing what is working and where the Administration should focus,”

Forty life-sized buffalo puppets walked through Lower Manhattan on Friday, past Bowling Green, Federal Hall and the World Trade Center, in "Return of the Buffalo: Tatanka Owe Akupi," built with Lenape descendants and Lakota elders [164]. Gospel choirs and Lenape youth performed along the route. The herd crosses into downtown Brooklyn today [164].
