Fare hike for NYC Ferry going into effect next month (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Those making a spontaneous jaunt on an NYC Ferry are about to be charged more for the pleasure. Starting Oct. 19, the price of a single-ride ticket will increase from $4.50 to $5. Buying tickets in bulk will also become more expensive, though the increase will be smaller. A pack of 10 rides will cost $30, up from $29, putting it on par with the $3 it costs to ride the subway. The reduced-fare pass – which is open to those 65 and older, people with disabilities and low-income New Yorkers – will c
Mayor Zohran Mamdani finally gets his federal security clearance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mayor Zohran Mamdani has received his federal security clearance nine months after taking office. The clearance, which is overseen by the FBI, allows the mayor to receive classified briefings on terrorism and other threats to the city. Mamdani gave the update to reporters on Wednesday.

Plan to modernize NYC's diesel-spewing produce market falls apart under Mamdani (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For decades, Hunts Point Produce Market in the South Bronx has fed the city while serving as a symbol of environmental injustice. Many of the fruits and vegetables New Yorkers eat are first stored in refrigerated trailers that spew diesel fumes into the poorest, most unhealthy neighborhood in the five boroughs. By the end of last year, city officials thought they’d finally found a solution. They announced a plan to replace warehouses built in 1967 with a new “state of the art intermodal food dis
Mayor Mamdani still waiting on federal security clearance 8 months into office (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Since taking office, Mayor Zohran Mamdani has faced threats on his life, a botched terror attack outside of Gracie Mansion and global upheaval caused by wars in the Middle East. But after eight months, Mamdani is still waiting to be approved for a high-level security clearance from the federal government. Officials with a clearance may receive classified briefings from federal officials on terrorism and other threats. Former officials say the delay could prevent Mamdani from getting a complete p
