You’ll soon be able to fly between Boston, NYC and Miami on a semi-private jet for as low as $199 — here’s when the new service launches

If you’re making your way from NYC to Boston , there’s certainly no shortage of options. You could hop aboard an Amtrak train, brave the bus, or, if you’re feeling particularly adventurous (or have a Noah Kahan-sized appreciation for the open road), take the scenic route up I-95. But have you ever considered a slightly more extravagant alternative? Naturally , we’re talking about a private jet. Well, now you don’t necessarily need to charter an entire aircraft to make it happen. Semi-private airline JSX is bringing a new way to travel between the Boston area, New York, and Miami, with scheduled flights that let passengers purchase individual seats while enjoying some of the perks of private aviation. The catch? You’ll still need to make your way to the airport , and this isn’t exactly the budget bus to Boston. But for travelers who value skipping the usual airport chaos, a little extra legroom , and the novelty of flying out of a private terminal , it might just be worth a look. Starting in February 2027, JSX will launch new routes from Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts, to Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and Opa-Locka Executive Airport in Miami. Here’s

NYC’s elite high school entrance exam derailed by computer glitch — and parents are left in the dark

Thousands of New York City schoolchildren vying for spots at the city’s elite specialized high schools were sent packing Saturday after a massive technical glitch derailed their entrance exams — leaving furious parents demanding answers. Some 2,500 Big Apple students were either unable to log on to the digital Specialized High Schools Admissions Test or were forced to stop midway through the exam because of a technical problem involving testing vendor Pearson, according to a Department of Education letter obtained by The Post. “This morning, SHSAT testing sites experienced a technical issue with the testing platform that disrupted testing. As a result, testing was discontinued and students were dismissed from testing sites,” the letter to families stated. A technical glitch caused thousands of students to lose out on taking the SHSAT Saturday. Bloomberg via Getty Images Parents were outraged after their children spent countless hours preparing for the high-stakes exam — only to have it derailed by a technical glitch. “My son was at Brooklyn Tech for over four hours today — his group took the test for two hours and then was told to stop. He’s stressed and exhausted. What a mess,” one parent posted on Facebook. Democrats scheme

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.

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.
