We want outdoor dining to be YEAR-ROUND because we love it as much as you do.

Here’s the Council’s plan for how we’ll make it happen.

[Speaker Julie Menin @SpeakerMenin]

Recent attempts at intimidating Council Member @PhilWongNYC and his staff are completely unacceptable.

Today, I visited Council Member Wong’s office in Maspeth to make clear that the @NYCCouncil will not tolerate intimidation or harassment against New Yorkers or our colleagues representing them.

Ahead of America’s 250th Anniversary, we hosted a multilingual reading of Emma Lazarus’ "The New Colossus" with @PublicTheaterNY, featuring actors @LievSchreiber, @SoniaMManzano, and Steven Skybell.

These words belong to all of us. Happy Fourth of July!

Happy Birthday to our Finance Chair @cmlindalee!

CM Lee has been an advocate for expanding access to quality mental health care and to culturally competent resources for older adults.

We’re troubled to hear about this incident and wish our fellow Council staffer a speedy recovery.

[Association of Legislative Employees @NYCCouncilUnion]

We stand in solidarity with our fellow union member who was injured while serving New Yorkers today.

City Council staff work every day to support constituents. No one should face violence for doing their job.

We're wishing our colleague a full and speedy recovery.

[New York City Council @NYCCouncil]

Through TOMORROW, the Council presents We the City — a five-borough public art installation featuring portraits and stories of immigrant New Yorkers, projected inside and onto cultural institutions, libraries, landmarks, and parks across NYC.

It's a celebration of the people, experiences, and contributions that have shaped New York — and the stories that connect us all.
