NYC’s Zohran Mamdani and LA’s Nithya Raman reveal their coldness toward the homeless

The unclaimed bodies of nine homeless New Yorkers who froze to death during the coldest weeks of our brutal 2025-26 winter were laid to rest this week at St. Thomas Church on Fifth Avenue. Conspicuous by his absence was Mayor Zohran Mamdani , whose homeless policies played a key role in those deaths. Last winter served as one of the first real tests of the mayor’s political soul. Would he live up to his pledge to protect the marginalized? To make the city better for all New Yorkers? As horrified citizens watched their homeless neighbors freeze and die on the streets, it became clear the mayor would not. The cold took the lives of New Yorker after New Yorker , as the mayor stood by his policy of refusing to break up encampments and forcing the homeless indoors only as a “last resort.” So much for the “warmth of collectivism” Mamdani touted in his inauguration speech. After his election, the mayor deployed what is now standard progressive policy around the homeless: Let their encampments stay in place, no matter how high the human cost. That cost is usually counted in increased substance abuse and crime, including sexual assault, the victims

NYC’s longest-running indoor holiday market returns to Grand Central Terminal this November — and it’s been a beloved tradition since 1993

While open-air holiday markets across Manhattan leave you clutching lukewarm cocoa with frozen fingers and dodging slush puddles, New York City’s most civilized winter tradition operates on a completely different standard. No parkas required, just 38 hand-selected artisan booths set inside a heated, 12,000-square-foot historic ballroom where the ceiling is literally made of gilded 1913 architectural history. The Grand Central Holiday Fair —officially the city’s longest-running indoor holiday market—returns for the 2026 season starting Monday, November 9 through Christmas Eve, December 24 . And while it might feel early to plan holiday shopping, Vanderbilt Hall’s curated roster of American crafters makes this the market to tackle before the midtown rush officially peaks. Three decades of refined indoor tradition Grand Central first opened the Holiday Fair in 1993 , specifically designing an indoor refuge for commuters, locals, and visitors looking for genuine craftsmanship rather than mass-produced trinkets. Over three decades later, that focus remains strictly curated. Grand Central caps its lineup at 38 premier artisans, designers, and small-batch makers . Every vendor undergoes a strict selection process focusing on locally sourced materials, socially conscious business practices, and American-made goods. That elevated curation is why it routinely stands out as the premier
