The share of Newark students meeting state English language arts standards dropped last school year, while the share meeting math standards rose, newly released test results show. Across the city’s traditional public and charter schools, 35.7% of students met grade-level expectations in English language arts, down from 41.7% last year, according to a Chalkbeat analysis. In math, proficiency rose to 30.1%, up from 27% in 2025. The results, which the state released earlier this month, offer a mixed picture of academic performance in Newark, where schools have spent years working to help students recover from pandemic learning disruptions . The scores could lead to closer scrutiny of tutoring and literacy initiatives that have tried to assist in that recovery. Newark Public Schools officials presented preliminary results at an October school board meeting , acknowledging that most district students continued to fall short of grade-level expectations.

29-33 Lackawanna Ave. — Approximate Site of Proposed Apartment Project. Woodland Park’s Zoning Board of Adjustment voted 6-1, with one member abstaining, to deny a proposal that would have combined four properties at 29-33 Lackawanna Avenue into a three-story building with 12 apartments, a 730-square-foot commercial space, and parking. The board rejected the application over zoning-exception and neighborhood-density concerns, ending a review of a project that had already been reworked once to address earlier objections.

In 1929, the Loew’s Jersey Theatre opened to host legends like Frank Sinatra; nearly a century later, the historic landmark reopens as a 4,000-seat concert venue just 10 minutes from Wall Street

New Yorkers, the wait is officially over. The historic Loew’s Jersey Theatre is finally ready for its next act. Following a $130 million restoration , the nearly century-old landmark celebrated its ceremonial ribbon-cutting this week. It will officially open its doors to the public this weekend, capping off a four-decade preservation saga that saved the building from demolition. Originally opened in 1929, the venue was one of the nation’s five original ‘Wonder Theatres’. It is the only one located outside of NYC. After hosting legends like Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra , the theater fell into disrepair in the 1980s. Now, the historic Journal Square landmark is gleaming once again. A historic restoration The revitalized space pairs the opulent detail of its original movie-palace architecture with top-tier modern production capabilities. Some of the restoration work took place 70 feet above the audience , with crews operating from extensive scaffolding to preserve the theater’s intricate details. The venue can now accommodate between 2,600 and 4,000 guests , making it the biggest indoor venue (non-arena) in New Jersey and a major new player in the NYC metro concert landscape. Restoration efforts will even continue into next year. The team plans to reinstall

No membership, no problem: NYC’s newest hot spot is rewriting the rules of exclusivity

Down a winding white staircase in the Meatpacking District, past cheeky signs insisting there’s “nothing to see here,” there’s a new playground for New Yorkers — one that feels every bit as exclusive as the city’s ever-expanding roster of members-only haunts. Welcome to Lady Delilah, a new 10,000-square-foot supper club from Hollywood nightlife kingpins John Terzian and Brian Toll, the LA-born duo behind celebrity magnets Bootsy Bellows and The Nice Guy. Coinciding with Delilah Los Angeles’ 10th anniversary, the Manhattan debut at 353 W 14th St. marks the brand’s fifth location — and its most sophisticated iteration yet, conceived with New York in mind. By 10 p.m. on opening night last Friday, beneath the sultry glow of amber-lit chandeliers, burlesque dancers in beaded lingerie and feathers floated between crammed tables as live singers serenaded diners lingering over dinner and a well-dressed crowd packed the bar. An interior view of Lady Delilah is shown on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024. Michael Clifford for The h.wood Group Part old-Hollywood glamour, part downtown Manhattan cool , Lady Delilah occupies a space somewhere between a swanky restaurant and a full-blown nightclub — so coveted, in fact, that Drake celebrated his 40th birthday there before it
