A Sewer Socialist Proposal for the Climate: PowerNYC

Two years ago, then Assemblymember Zohran Mamdani launched his campaign for mayor with a series of on-the-street interviews of Donald Trump voters on Fordham Road in the Bronx. In the course of the following year, the cost-of-living crisis solidified as the uniting theme of his mayoral campaign, anchored by a clear agenda to bring costs down and build a city where New Yorkers can "afford to dream." Last week, a big tent of Democratic politicians used this same message to rout the Right across the country — potentially opening the door to a new kind of politics that embeds climate action within economic populist agendas.

No membership, no problem: NYC’s newest hot spot is rewriting the rules of exclusivity

Down a winding white staircase in the Meatpacking District, past cheeky signs insisting there’s “nothing to see here,” there’s a new playground for New Yorkers — one that feels every bit as exclusive as the city’s ever-expanding roster of members-only haunts. Welcome to Lady Delilah, a new 10,000-square-foot supper club from Hollywood nightlife kingpins John Terzian and Brian Toll, the LA-born duo behind celebrity magnets Bootsy Bellows and The Nice Guy. Coinciding with Delilah Los Angeles’ 10th anniversary, the Manhattan debut at 353 W 14th St. marks the brand’s fifth location — and its most sophisticated iteration yet, conceived with New York in mind. By 10 p.m. on opening night last Friday, beneath the sultry glow of amber-lit chandeliers, burlesque dancers in beaded lingerie and feathers floated between crammed tables as live singers serenaded diners lingering over dinner and a well-dressed crowd packed the bar. An interior view of Lady Delilah is shown on Monday, Nov. 11, 2024. Michael Clifford for The h.wood Group Part old-Hollywood glamour, part downtown Manhattan cool , Lady Delilah occupies a space somewhere between a swanky restaurant and a full-blown nightclub — so coveted, in fact, that Drake celebrated his 40th birthday there before it
