Big Changes are On The Way for Outdoor Dining in NYC
Year-round outdoor dining in New York City appears to be on the verge of a comeback. That’s thanks to a new bill currently being deliberated by City Council that miraculously has the support of both Speaker Julie Menin and Mayor Zohran Mamdani.

The Bill That Could Seize Buildings from The Worst Landlords in NYC
Zohran Mamdani‘s war on negligent landlords is heating up. A few weeks back, the newly elected mayor launched his “Rental Ripoff” hearings to provide a forum for aggrieved tenants to air their most traumatic experiences as renters and direct them towards the appropriate city officials.

It had been drizzling solidly, miserably all day, which extended into the evening, and dogshit colored ice drifts still clung stubbornly to the curb outside The Fly on the corner of Classon and Fulton, making…

The Black Rave is Alive and Well at Dweller
Zack Fox is convinced there’s a mass conspiracy to keep Black people from dancing. “If I really put my tin foil hat on,” he tells me over Zoom. “I would be 100% in agreement with a conspiracy theory that said there is a CIA-constructed plan to get Black people to move less, to dance less, to enjoy being outside less.”…
