After Chicago tried to push the Bean, a flyer is calling on New Yorkers to push the Washington Square Arch seven inches to the left

First Chicago’s Bean, now New York’s arch?! A flyer spotted around the city is calling on New Yorkers to push the Washington Square Arch seven inches to the left on Saturday, Nov. 21 . The flyer, photographed by @keenanbphoto , shows the famous Greenwich Village landmark with an arrow pointing left and a simple message: “we need to move the arch 7 inches to the left.” The “first push” is scheduled for 12:37pm , and it ends with a bold promise: “NYC WILL NOT FAIL.” Wait, why? Blame Chicago. On Sunday, hundreds of people gathered in Millennium Park to try to push the city’s famous Bean , officially Anish Kapoor’s Cloud Gate, seven inches to the left, according to CBS Chicago . The idea came from a long-running internet joke that a man is trapped inside the sculpture, and moving it would supposedly set him free. To no one’s surprise, the 110-ton stainless steel sculpture didn’t budge. Now, it seems, New York wants to prove it can do better . It’s not clear who’s behind the NYC flyer, and unlike the Bean, there’s no viral backstory about anyone trapped inside the arch. This one looks like pure, competitive New York

The Day the Sky Turned Black: The 1934 Dust Bowl Clouds Over Manhattan

On May 11, 1934, New Yorkers looked up and saw something that did not belong in the Manhattan sky. A strange gray haze spread over the city, dimming the spring sunshine and making familiar landmarks difficult to see. Streetlights came on in the middle of the day. From the observation deck of the Empire State Building, visitors could no longer make out Central Park. The material drifting through the streets had not come from a local fire or an industrial smokestack. It was soil from the Great Plains, carried more than a thousand miles by the wind.

Seinfeld’s Porsches, LeBron’s Maybach & more legendary retro cars are hitting Manhattan for four days only this November

Imagine walking into the Javits Center and finding cars most people only ever see behind a collector’s garage door. That’s Retromobile New York, the American debut of a Paris car show that’s been running for 50 years — and it’s coming exclusively on November 19–22. What Is Retromobile? Think of it as a car show crossed with an art gallery. In Paris it’s a legend. Now it’s setting up in Manhattan for the first time. The focus is automotive history: preserved classics, racing icons and design landmarks. Collectors, dealers and restoration specialists from around the world will be there too, which means the people who really know these vehicles will be a few feet away. The lineup is where it gets ridiculous Here’s what’s confirmed so far. Jerry Seinfeld is bringing three of his personal Porsches. There’s also a 1958 Volkswagen T1 Single Cab in the mix. If you’ve ever wondered what the Porsche collection of the guy who made car talk a comedy staple looks like in person, this is the chance. Cars in famous films are coming to NYC for the first time. They’re on loan from the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles. Bring the friend who’s

Pedestrians, the Real Majority, Are Overlooked, in E-Bike Wars

NYC wacko who allegedly bashed Central Park artist to death found not fit for trial

The stick-wielding man who allegedly admitted to fatally bludgeoning a beloved Central Park artist with a stick was found not fit to stand trial, a Manhattan judge revealed Tuesday. Jonathan Robles, 36, was set to be arraigned in Manhattan Supreme Court on murder charges for the Sept. 27 Central Park killing of Lee Rogers , a 63-year-old painter, before the madman’s attorney jumped in and said that he failed his mental health evaluation. Defendant Jonathan Robles is seen for the first time since being indicted with murder. Steven Hirsch for NY Post “I’m objecting to my client from being arraigned — he’s not fit,” attorney Mitchell Schuman told Manhattan Supreme Court Justice Althea Drysdale just before the scheduled arraignment. The mental health exam — also known as a 730 exam — was ordered by a criminal court judge at his initial arraignment in Manhattan Criminal Court in October. Prosecutors revealed that Robles’ exam results were only returned Monday, and asked the judge for a three-week adjournment for them to “digest” the findings to figure out how they will proceed.

NYC business leaders deride ‘delivery protection’ bill

(The Center Square) — New York City business leaders are urging Mayor Zohran Mamdani and the City Council to reject a bill to regulate Amazon and other delivery services, saying it would cost thousands of jobs and hurt the city's economy. The presidents of New York's five chambers of commerce wrote to Mamdani and Council Speaker Julie Menin on Monday warning that the legislation , if approved, would "wipe out" more than 100 locally-owned delivery companies and the full-time jobs they provide. The chambers estimated job losses of between 3,000 and 10,000 workers, "depending on how the industry responds." "It is unfathomable that the city would advance legislation that puts thousands of jobs and businesses at risk when we have other options in front of us," the presidents wrote. "The full consequences for New York City's workers, businesses, and economy are too significant to allow this bill to become law as is." The proposal, filed by Councilwoman Tiffany Cabán, a Queens Democrat, would require operators of "last-mile" warehouses and storage facilities to get licenses from the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection and meet new safety, training and employment requirements, among other changes. It would ban major logistics and delivery
