It’s time to stop cheating Manhattan students by giving other kids priority
Schools Chancellor David Banks announced a big win for families last month: Nine new schools in Queens, Brooklyn and the Bronx will open next fall. These new schools offer the promise of what every NYC public-school parent dreams of: high-quality curricula, dynamic instruction, enrichment, college readiness and accessibility to families in their own communities. As a parent of a rising sixth-grader with the grueling high-school application process ahead, I was thrilled about these new opportunities . . . until I read the implied fine print: Manhattan students need not apply.

NYC July 4 fireworks move back to the Hudson for first time in a decade — but some on the East River side aren’t sad to see them go
It’s a blast from the past. The city’s July 4 fireworks are moving back to the Hudson River for the first time in a decade – and the change has sparks flying on both sides of Manhattan. The Macy’s Fourth of July show was moved to the East River nearly 10 years ago with officials saying more New Yorkers could see them, but as that chapter in the turf war comes to a close not everyone on Team East is sad to see the fireworks go. “Selfishly, as a resident, it’s kind of nice to not have the fireworks this year,” said 34-year-old...
