On Friday night, we walked the length of Manhattan, from Inwood Hill to Battery Park.

New Yorkers deserve a Mayor they can see, hear, even yell at. The city is in the streets.

[NYC Emergency Management @nycemergencymgt]

The National Weather Service has placed the entire city under an Extreme Heat Warning. Here’s what that means for your day today:

Morning (8 AM – 12 PM):
Warm and muggy fast. You’ll break a sweat quickly even walking outside. It’ll feel close to 90°F by late morning. 
Tip: Get errands or outdoor activity done now. Wear light clothes, hydrate, and set your AC to 78°F. Unplug unused electronics to cut background energy use early.

Early Afternoon (12 PM to 2 PM):
This is when the heat starts to build rapidly. Temperatures climb into the upper 80s and low 90s. With rising humidity, it will feel like the mid-90s. Even short exposure to direct sun or concrete surfaces can become overwhelming. Your body begins to work harder to stay cool, especially if you are already dehydrated or have been active earlier in the day. While this is not yet the peak demand window, energy use is rising across the city as air conditioners switch to full power. Indoor spaces without cooling will start to trap heat. Outdoor areas like subway stations, sidewalks, and playgrounds begin radiating stored heat, raising the risk of overheating.
Tip: Use this time to prepare for the hottest hours. If you need AC, get to a Cool Option now: your home, a neighbor’s, or a public space like a mall or NYC Cooling Center. Stay indoors if possible. Close blinds or curtains to keep sun and heat out. Avoid using ovens or laundry machines, which add unnecessary heat and strain the grid. Hydrate and cool down before the worst conditions arrive later in the afternoon.

Peak Hours (2 PM – 9 PM):
Extreme heat and maximum stress on the power grid. Temps over 90°F will feel like 96–98°F.
Tip: This is when demand is highest citywide. Don’t run dishwashers, laundry, or other large appliances. Limit lighting and electronics. Keep doors and windows closed. Stay cool but conserve energy where possible.

Evening (5 PM – 9 PM):
The sun may be lower, but the heat hasn’t let up. It will still be over 90°F, and with humidity rising again, it’ll feel like the mid-90s. The air will be thick and heavy, especially in apartments that trap heat. Surfaces indoors and outside (walls, streets, sidewalks) will still radiate stored heat from the day. If your home doesn’t have AC, it will feel stifling. This is also when NYC’s power grid is most stressed.

Late Evening (9 PM – Midnight):
Still very warm and humid. Temperatures may dip slightly, but the humidity rises, and it will still feel like 90°F or higher. The sun is down, but the city hasn’t cooled off. Indoors, especially in upper-floor apartments or buildings without AC, the heat will linger and rooms may feel stuffy and uncomfortable. Many homes retain the day’s heat well into the night, making it difficult to sleep or recover.
Tip: If you’ve been holding off, now is the time to run appliances. Take a cool shower to help lower your body temperature. Set a sleep timer on your air conditioner to avoid overuse overnight and prevent your space from getting too cold or triggering system strain by morning. Staying cool at night is critical for health and recovery, especially after a high-heat day.

Extreme heat is dangerous, especially when it lasts for days. Make a plan to stay cool, check on others, and use energy wisely. Know your cool options (like a friend or family member’s home if you don’t have AC, or an official NYC Cooling Center), adjust your schedule, and help reduce strain on the grid. Your actions protect your health and help keep the city running safely. For more tips, visit https://t.co/04ULpqxfIY or call 311

The Met Gala is a fundraising event that supports the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. It’s just one of many annual charity galas. Others include the Angel Ball (for cancer research), Broadway Cares (for theater-related causes), Make-A-Wish (for critically ill children), Rock for the Rainforest (for environmental protection), and the Kennedy Center Honors (for the performing arts). Many organizations rely on galas to raise crucial funds for their missions.

Yet the Met Gala seems to attract a disproportionate amount of derision each year, dismissed as little more than a vulgar display of wealth. By that logic, every charity gala should be equally condemned. It’s true that these events often spotlight an absurd concentration of wealth. But IMO, the criticism aimed specifically at the Met Gala reflects a deeper bias—namely, the belief that anything related to fashion (or even clothing more broadly) is inherently frivolous and undeserving of serious support. I've long said that I think fashion is uniquely disrespected because it has been historically coded as a feminine interest, even if it's at the core of how we broadcast identity (for people of any gender).

This year's Met Gala celebrates the history of Black dandyism, inviting us to reflect on how marginalized groups have used clothing to challenge stereotypes and assert dignity. I won’t launch into a tirade about how clothing is central to culture, but I'd like to think this message is why my account has grown. Fashion intersects with politics, economics, globalization, sexuality, gender, identity, and nearly every other dimension of human life. Black dandyism is just one lens into that larger story, offering a way to think more thoughtfully about how clothing is used beyond trends and celebrity.

So what exactly does boycotting the Met Gala accomplish? It risks cutting funding for the Costume Institute at a time when public support for the arts is already under threat, and it turns people away from a story about Black creativity and self-expression at a moment when efforts to erase DEI education from schools are gaining momentum. If anything, this is precisely when institutions like the Met should be supported—not abandoned.

The Met Gala raises money for an institute that does much more than simply preserve beautiful garments. The Costume Institute curates exhibitions, maintains an extensive archive of historical dress, and uses clothing as a lens to explore broader themes of culture, politics, identity, and society. Through its shows, publications, and educational programs, it helps the public understand how fashion has shaped the world around us. In doing so, it invites visitors to see clothing not as something frivolous, but as a vital, expressive part of human history.

Fundraising galas may feel extravagant, but they channel private wealth toward public enrichment. If we can motivate the wealthy to support the arts, education, medical research, environmental conservation, or any other essential cause, that should be seen as a victory, not a scandal. The real scandal would be letting these institutions wither because we were too puritanical about how money enters the system.
