Gov. Hochul declared a state of emergency for the city, and the city put a travel advisory in place from Friday 2 p.m. through Sunday morning, with coastal flooding expected in southern Queens, Staten Island and Brooklyn at high tide.
The storm tracked closer to the city than forecast, so the wind, the rain and the flood risk all went up [71]. The MTA closed the storm doors at its Coney Island and Howard Beach train yards, because a flooded yard knocks out the power that trains need to leave [57]. Its bigger worry is trees falling onto open-cut subway lines in southern Brooklyn [57]. Global Citizen, All Things Go at Forest Hills Stadium and Sneaker Con were canceled; Atlantic Antic, the Third Avenue Festival, the Ragamuffin Parade and Park Slope's Super Stoop were pushed back [70][68].
“City workers are clearing catch basins, preparing for downed trees and positioning emergency resources in areas that could see coastal flooding.”
“Right now the wind is by far our biggest concern,”

A Manhattan judge said he likely will not rule on the landlords' lawsuit before Oct. 1, so new and renewing stabilized leases starting that day carry no increase.
Landlords represented by Randy Mastro, Eric Adams' former first deputy mayor, argue the Rent Guidelines Board "ran a sham process with a predetermined outcome" [29]. Judge Brendan Lantry refused to carry over last year's increases while he decides, saying the court lacks that authority, and said a ruling should come before year's end [29]. He ordered City Hall to hand over screenshots of officials' texts and emails with the board by Tuesday, then full copies within 30 days [29]. The city says a search of Mamdani's emails turned up no messages with RGB staff or members [45].
“I'm not going to operate with a shotgun to my head.”
“If the zero-zero [percent increase] stays in place, the landlords are gonna be stuck with that,”
“The people on this list are running New York City. Giving up their phone for four to eight hours ... is not an insignificant thing,”
Since the city capped Citi Bike e-bikes at 15 mph, down from 18, a per-minute fare means the same ride takes longer and costs more, and Lyft's Citi Bike profit rose to $24.7 million in 2025.
Eric Adams ordered the cap last October after an e-bike rider, not on a Citi Bike, struck a 3-year-old in Williamsburg [58]. Members pay by the minute on e-bikes, so frequent rider Andrew Kam worked out that a Chambers Street to 125th Street trip now costs at least $1.08 more [58]. Council Member Lincoln Restler has a bill to cap member e-bike rides at $3, and Lime wants permission to compete in Citi Bike territory [58]. Lyft says Citi Bike is the only major U.S. bike share program paid for entirely with private money [58].
“It was just a hidden tax on all Citi Bike users.”
“We have the most expensive bike share program in the world, and it's not even close.”
“We look forward to continuing our discussions with the city on how best to keep the program affordable for riders as it continues to grow”

Twenty years ago Alan Bolton went into Pete's Diner because a client offered to buy him a burger. The owner, Mr. Tasso, looked miserable, so Bolton asked him why: Tasso had bought the coffee shop for his son, and the son had married and moved to Connecticut. "Two weeks later, Bolton owned Pete's." The diner has been open 44 years, the counter still faces the open cooktop, and regular Tim Hayden brings his son in every weekend [84].
