Construction starts on New Lots Library’s mass timber rebuild, on a lot tied to East New York’s African burial ground

Brooklyn Public Library has started building a new New Lots Library in East New York, on a lot that the library and a 2023 archaeological study say covers part of a colonial-era burial ground where enslaved and free Black residents of the area were buried. The library marked the start of construction on Oct. 29 with a ground acknowledgment ceremony instead of a groundbreaking, according to a library release. The 1956 branch building is gone: the city signed off on its demolition on Oct. 9, Department of Buildings records show.

When he was serving in the U.S. Army’s 3rd Infantry Division after 9/11 in the Middle East, Rye resident Christian Wade used several military terms he still thinks about today. For example, the phrase “last mag” was how soldiers announced they were down to their last magazine of ammunition...

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

A Sewer Socialist Proposal for the Climate: PowerNYC

Two years ago, then Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani launched his campaign for mayor with a series of on-the-street interviews of Donald Trump voters on Fordham Road in the Bronx. In the course of the following year, the cost-of-living crisis solidified as the uniting theme of his mayoral campaign, anchored by a clear agenda to bring costs down and build a city where New Yorkers can "afford to dream." Last week, a big tent of Democratic politicians used this same message to rout the Right across the country — potentially opening the door to a new kind of politics that embeds climate action within economic populist agendas.

At Somos, New York’s political future meets Puerto Rico’s present

The annual Somos conference has long been equal parts family reunion, policy summit and political marketplace for New York’s Latino elected officials. But the 40th anniversary gathering at the Caribe Hilton in San Juan carried unusual significance this year, unfolding just days after a Democratic wave election that reshaped New York politics while forcing attendees to confront Puerto Rico’s own challenges, from drought and infrastructure strains to questions about economic development and political self-determination.
