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

NYC’s oldest Black newspaper unveils plans to remagine its historic Harlem headquarters

New York City’s oldest Black newspaper wants to reimagine its 19th-century Harlem headquarters as an educational and community hub. The New York Amsterdam News, which has operated from 2340 Frederick Douglass Boulevard since 1939, has unveiled plans to redesign the building as a national center for African American journalism history, with educational exhibitions, a research library, and a cafe, while preserving its historic newsroom. The newspaper, which tapped AYON Studio and Jerome Haferd Studio to redesign the building, launched a $44 million fundraising campaign for the project, as the New York Times first reported. If the financial goals are met, construction could begin in 2029.

Mamdani trying to force distressed building owners to sell to nonprofits — even after creditors refuse

Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s effort to steer hundreds of deteriorating Manhattan apartments into nonprofit ownership has hit a wall — after creditors rejected a $110 million offer from a city-backed developer and pushed the buildings into foreclosure auctions. And despite City Hall insisting the fight isn’t over, the administration has yet to publicly explain how it plans to salvage the deal. At Tuesday’s auction, 14 of 15 East Harlem apartment buildings failed to attract outside buyers, with most reverting to plaintiff US Bank National Association for nominal bids of $500 apiece. One went for $1,000. Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s effort to steer distressed East Harlem apartments into nonprofit ownership has stalled. Gregory P.

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?

Stewart-Cousins eyes ‘progressive taxation’ push

With help from Molly Reinmann HAPPY TUESDAY. This is Nick Reisman in Albany. Massive Democratic majorities are returning to Albany in January, giving a boost to the tax-the-rich forces. I’ve got new reporting on that dynamic. Plus my colleague has the details on a New York City Council hearing next month on student sexual assault. Have news tips or just want to share what’s on your mind? Reach me at nreisman@politico.com . Driving The Day A MASSIVE MAJORITY : Legislative Democrats will come roaring back to Albany next year with turbocharged majorities in the state Senate and Assembly. They intend to use that refreshed mandate to major effect — especially when it comes to pursuing what Senate Majority Leader Andrea Stewart-Cousins called “progressive taxation.” “We’ve always looked at the ability of those with extraordinary wealth to be able to pay more, do more,” she told Playbook in an interview Monday. “That’s been something that our conference has talked about.” What those proposals will look like won’t be clear for months. But if the past is any guide , the Democrat-dominated Legislature will likely seek a suite of income tax hikes on the richest New Yorkers — changes designed to generate
