Humpback whale spotted in NYC waters as experts issue warning to boaters

Whale, you don’t see that every day! A humpback whale is enjoying a “pretty rare” multi-day vacation in New York Harbor waters in what might be a record-breaking visit for the area. Breathtaking video captured the whale spouting through its blowhole off the coast of Pier 45 Thursday — as Classic Harbor Line guests shrieked in disbelief. A humpback whale surfaces in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of New York City, Aug. 13, 2026. AFP via Getty Images The humpback had been swimming off the shores of Staten Island’s St. George Ferry terminal the day before, making for a “pretty rare,” but not unprecedented journey for the mammal, according to Chris St. Lawrence of Gotham Whale. “We see whales in New York City throughout the year,” St. Lawrence said, explaining that they are most often documented during the summer. Massive humpback whale launches out of water, slams into fishing boat off Long Island When humpbacks visit the Big Apple, they tend to stick around the Lower Bay as opposed to swimming further north, he noted.

The 10 New York Bakeries Where Polish, German Or Hungarian Pastries Still Taste Like The Old Country

Some of the best pastries in New York come from bakeries that never stopped making things the old way. Think cherry strudel in Morningside Heights, poppy seed rolls on a Greenpoint corner, and German butter cake out on Long Island. These shops carry recipes from Poland, Germany and Hungary, and...

Buying a NYC home now takes nearly 15 years to pay off — but these 5 neighborhoods buck the trend

New Yorkers wondering whether to keep renting or finally take the plunge into homeownership may want to look toward Queens — where buying can pay off in less than three years. In Rego Park, homeowners could come out ahead financially over renting after just 2.8 years, compared with a staggering 14.5 years citywide, according to a new StreetEasy report . And despite stubbornly high mortgage rates , several other neighborhoods across Queens and The Bronx offer buyers a chance to beat renters financially in fewer than five years. Queens neighborhoods offer some of NYC’s shortest timelines for buying a home to become more affordable than renting. Getty Images The findings come as New York City’s housing market faces a growing inventory crunch, with the number of homes for sale falling to its lowest October level since 2017. Across the five boroughs, just 17,496 homes were on the market last month, down 3.1% from a year earlier, according to StreetEasy. The shortage has been particularly punishing for entry-level buyers, with Manhattan’s pipeline of relatively affordable new condos projected to plunge 74% by 2029, as developers increasingly focus on luxury properties. Meanwhile, the median sale price reached $900,000, meaning a buyer putting

NYC meets class size target, but only after state lowers the bar and city changes its math

Did you know search engines like Google are changing the way you see news? Keep Chalkbeat’s valuable education coverage at the top of your feeds by clicking here and checking the box next to our name. New York City public schools not only met the state-mandated targets to shrink classes, they surpassed the goal, Mayor Zohran Mamdani announced Friday. Nearly three-quarters of classes across New York City’s public schools are capped at 20 to 25 students, depending on the grade. The city cleared the state’s benchmark for two reasons. First, state lawmakers moved the goal post when they agreed in June to give the city more time to comply with the law, requiring 70% of classes meet the caps this school year instead of the original target of 80%. Additionally, the city made a change in which classes it counted toward class-size compliance. Officials added to the calculation for the first time “cluster” classes in elementary schools — courses like science, art, physical education, and music that are not taught by students’ typical classroom teacher. Without counting cluster classes, 69.5% of classes would have met the caps, schools Chancellor Kamar Samuels said, just shy of the new requirement. Unlike last

New anti-elitist college rankings put Universities of Texas, Florida on top — in shock result

A New York think tank just came out with its own proprietary college rankings, and the results probably aren’t what you’d expect: the University of Texas at Austin at number one, Yale all the way down at number ten, and Arizona State ranked higher than Stanford. The rankings may be surprising, but, according to the Manhattan Institute (MI), they’re meant to subvert academic snobbery and scrutinize the value of an education. In their own words, the rankings “judge schools by present performance, not past prestige.” “Other prestige-focused rankings offer little insight into the content of the education students will receive, the classroom and campus environment they will inhabit, or the values that will surround them,” the think tank said in a press release . The rankings score 115 schools using 95 variables. The top schools, according to MI’s calculations: University of Texas at Austin, University of Florida, and Notre Dame. And at the very bottom: Smith College and Oberlin College. University of Texas at Austin ranked number one in the Manhattan Institute’s college rankings for 2026.

NYC completes long-awaited redesign of McGuinness Boulevard

After decades of advocacy and numerous traffic-related fatalities and injuries, the redesign of Greenpoint’s McGuinness Boulevard is finally complete. Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Friday announced the completion of the project, which added parking-protected bike lanes along the corridor from Meeker Avenue to the Pulaski Bridge, shorter pedestrian crossings, and other street-safety improvements for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists. Work began in May, marking a major turning point for a project that was scaled back under former Mayor Eric Adams amid allegations of bribery involving a prominent local film production company.

‘Tulsa King’ Showrunner Calls NYC “The Gift That Keeps On Giving” As Series Moves Location For Season 5

It was important for showrunner Terence Winter to take Tulsa King in a new direction. After stepping back from the series for Seasons 2 and 3, Winter returned to helm Paramount+’s wildly successful mob dramedy for Seasons 4 and 5. “When I came into Season 4, Dwight was on top of the world. He had everything,” said Winter. “I wanted to see what happens when everything gets taken away.” And boy, did Winter accomplish that! The Season 3 premiere ends with Dwight Manfredi (Sylvester Stallone) reeling from the news that the flight carrying his girlfriend, Margaret Devereaux (Dana Delaney), and ally, Governor Cal Thresher (Neal McDonough), had crashed. Once Lt. Governor Amanda Clark (Gretchen Mol) took over, she made it her mission to drive Dwight and his crew out of Tulsa by shutting down all their businesses, including their recent acquisition of Montague Distillers. Luckily, it’s going to take more than Dwight losing everything to keep him down. Tulsa King has already been renewed for Season 5 and will be moving production full-time to New York City. As an Writer/EP on The Sopranos and the creator of Boardwalk Empire , Winter was thrilled to be back on his home turf.
