‘Cabaret’ balances commentary with artistry

From Nov. 5 to 7, the Vassar College community was swept into a display of allure, sensuality and unrest.

Why Is Albany the Capital of New York State Instead of New York City?

With New York City being the largest city in the United States, it might seem a little surprising that the capital of New York State is Albany. After all, New York City was once the capital of the entire country. Why, then, did the state government settle in a city roughly 150 miles to the north?

25 Famous Comedians You Didn’t Know Were From Upstate New York

New York City has long been one of America’s great comedy capitals, from earlier vaudeville theaters to Manhattan’s stand-up clubs and television studios. But some of the people who helped define American comedy came from places well beyond the five boroughs. Buffalo, Syracuse, Rochester, Jamestown, Saratoga Springs, and the smaller towns of Upstate New York have their own connections to late-night television, sketch comedy, sitcoms, stand-up, and comic writing.

25 Historic Hudson Valley Estates and Mansions With Remarkable Stories

The Hudson Valley has been home to some of New York’s most remarkable country houses for more than three centuries. Long before the Gilded Age brought railroad fortunes, elaborate gardens, and grand weekend retreats to the river, colonial landowning families were establishing farms, trading centers, and estates along its banks. The Hudson was both a transportation route and a source of wealth. Land, agriculture, river commerce, and the labor of enslaved people and tenant farmers helped sustain the households that later became known for their imposing mansions.

Star Dem-backer Debra Messing endorses GOP’s Bruce Blakeman for NY governor: ‘What we need’

Enter stage right. Anti-Trump “Will & Grace” actress Debra Messing is snubbing Democratic incumbent Gov. Kathy Hochul and instead backing Republican Bruce Blakeman’s gubernatorial campaign. It’s quite a sea change for Messing, who once stumped for Hillary Clinton for president and donated to far-left actress Cynthia Nixon’s campaign for governor in 2018 and has been, at least until recently, a staunch critic of Blakeman-boosting President Trump. Debra Messing and Bruce Blakeman during a fundraiser hosted by dietician Tanya Zuckerbrot in Manhattan, Thursday, Oct. 1, 2026. Blakeman Campaign But Brooklyn-native Messing, who even appears in a video with Blakeman, has complained about what she claims is a decline in her hometown’s conditions. “I am so grateful you are running. You are what we need more than anything,” she told Blakeman during a recent Manhattan fundraiser for the candidate hosted by dietician Tanya Zuckerbrot . Meet the 10-year-old fashion prodigy dressing Sharon Stone, Debra Messing “The decline in this city over the last four years has been so exponential and devastating — economically, socially and on every level.

New York moves to protect historic African burial ground in Elmhurst

New York wants to ensure a historic burial ground of formerly enslaved people in Queens finally receives the protection and recognition it deserves. Attorney General Letitia James on Friday filed a motion to intervene in a pending foreclosure action involving 47-11 90th Street in Elmhurst, a site where nearly 300 freed African slaves were buried in the early 19th century, seeking a court order requiring any prospective buyer to be notified of the human remains on the property and their legal obligations to protect them. Dating back to 1818, the site was rediscovered in 2006 and has since been paved over and disturbed during subsequent development. Now that the property is once again up for sale, the state is seeking to ensure the burial ground is respected by its next owner.
