The rent freeze Mamdani isn’t talking about

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY MONDAY. This is Chris Sommerfeldt in New York City, where the mayor’s administration has struggled to oversee a couple little-known rental assistance programs. I'm kicking us off today with a dive into those growing pains. Plus, my colleagues have news on political fallout from last week’s midterm elections and an update on a newly-minted Republican lawmaker’s curious quest to get a disgraced rapper pardoned. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at csommerfeldt@politico.com . DRIVING THE DAY THE OTHER RENT FREEZE: Zohran Mamdani netted perhaps his biggest policy win as mayor over the summer when he secured an unprecedented two-year rent freeze on New York City’s 1 million stabilized apartments. The freeze — approved by the Rent Guidelines Board after Mamdani made several appointments to it — ensures the city’s roughly 2 million stabilized tenants will not see an increase to their rent for at least two years, fulfilling a core 2025 campaign promise made by the mayor. But during the 2025 race , Mamdani did not highlight more tailored rent freeze programs that benefit tens of thousands of low-income seniors and disabled New Yorkers. And those

St. John’s Tounde Yessoufou Dominates After Leaving Baylor

Tounde Yessoufou’s first game with St. John’s after leaving Baylor was underwhelming. His second, which came on Sunday against the Iona Gaels, was a statement. If anyone was wondering if the transfer from Baylor could shine for the Johnnies, that has all gone out the window. It’s clear Yessoufou has some of the country’s best talent.

NYC restaurants are cashing in on wallet-weary diners hunting unlimited cheap eats

With grocery and restaurant prices climbing, Americans have a hearty appetite for all-you-can-eat and buffet-style dining. Yelp searches for all-you-can-eat buffets jumped 252% from 2025, The Wall Street Journal recently reported. While major chains like Golden Corral often dominate the buffet landscape, the outlet highlighted five other spots offering everything from Southern comfort food and Uzbek specialties to Korean barbecue and Brazilian steakhouse fare. Here they are below: 1. Good Time Country Buffet Since opening in September, Good Time has brought Southern-style comfort food to Manhattan, with dishes such as Salisbury steak, collard greens, dinner rolls and peach cobbler. What Americans get wrong about healthy eating — and there’s a simple fix, according to a nutrition scientist Unlimited servings cost $26.99, according to the Journal. Co-founder David Yun said the goal was to offer “something affordable” and evoke “the humble buffet that really brings you back to that memory.” Plates of Southern fare, including fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes, baked beans, and noodles, served at Good Time Country Buffet. Scott Semler 2. Tashkent Supermarket Tashkent’s Uzbek hot bar, also in New York City, features dozens of prepared dishes, including plov, stuffed cabbage, manti dumplings and pastries.

25 Famous Scientists and Innovators You Didn’t Know Were From New York City

New York City has produced some of the world’s most influential scientists, physicians, engineers, and inventors. Their names are associated with Nobel Prizes, medical breakthroughs, computers, radio, and discoveries about the universe. Yet the New York neighborhoods where many of them grew up are often left out of their stories. A physicist who helped explain the forces of nature went to high school in the Bronx. A future pioneer of electronic music built instruments in a Queens basement. A woman whose research changed medicine worked for years in a Bronx hospital.

Cafe Exchange brings an anti-tech coffee shop to Berkeley Heights

With minimalist decor, clean lines and neutral colors, most modern coffee shops brag about their tech-savviness. But Cafe Exchange in Berkeley Heights, which will celebrate its grand opening Nov. 15 in what was formerly known as Connell Corporate Park , is touting the opposite for those who are tapped out from AI, smartphones and screens. Instead, the new two-story social hub, now open at 500 District Drive Suite F, features a library with vintage books and a book exchange; a craft room with a typewriter and a "Mr. Deeds"-inspired greeting card-making workshop; a game nook; and an all-day cafe with century-old European lounge seating. Hours are 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday and Sunday through Nov. 14. Beginning Nov. 15, hours will be 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily. More: New South Amboy pool hall wants to make pool cool again Cafe Exchange’s anti-technology focus extends to other concepts launching at its home in the District at The Park, a walkable main street being built with 160,000 square feet of retail, dining and entertainment space.

Few museums show the North's Civil Rights Movement. A new one in Harlem is ‘just getting started’

NEW YORK (AP) — The National Urban League will open a museum this weekend in Harlem dedicated to the civil rights struggles in the North, the first of its kind in New York City. Located in the Urban League’s Manhattan headquarters, the Urban Civil Rights Museum in Harlem explores the region's lesser-known histories of the Civil Rights Movement and the local changemakers and artists whose contributions helped shape politics and culture worldwide. With nearly 12,000 square feet (1,100 square meters) of permanent and rotating exhibits and galleries, organizers say they hope to remind visitors of their “collective power” in the present. “We want people to know that they are key participants,” Jennifer Scott, the museum’s founding executive director and chief curator, told The Associated Press during an exclusive preview of the space. “History is living, it’s unfinished, and we can impact it,” she said. Scott is a national public history scholar with experience preserving Black history in museums and research centers across the country. She led the design of a permanent interactive installation and an inaugural set of rotating exhibitions. Marc Morial, the Urban League’s president and CEO, underscored the importance of establishing the museum just blocks from such key
