🗝️ The ceremonial “Key to the City”—which will be presented to the Knicks on Thursday to celebrate their NBA title—has received a total redesign under Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s administration, City Hall said Wednesday.
The new key uses “the motifs of the apple and the mayor’s signature font,” a spokesperson said.
The key was manufactured by Azra Khafan, designed by Aneesh Boothaphy and features custom typography by Tobias Frere-Jones.
The typeface Gotham, used by Frere-Jones on the design, is based on Port Authority signage and is used on the 9/11 Memorial and at NYU.
Each member of the Knicks will be presented with a key during a ceremony at City Hall following Thursday’s ticker tape parade up Broadway.

A 1-year-old in Mississippi was shot and killed by police after a cop opened fire on a vehicle involved in an alleged shoplifting incident at a Walmart. An adult was also critically wounded.
A witness says they saw 2 women leaving the store with an infant, Kohen Kartier Wiley, and a box of diapers. Relatives deny that Wiley's mother and aunt were shoplifting, with some saying they had a digital receipt on a phone.
This is a national tragedy.
The officers knew about Kohen Kartier Wiley being in the car before they opened fire.
Firing into a moving vehicle in a crowded parking lot over a non-violent offense is both criminally reckless and completely unjustified.
RIP Kohen Kartier Wiley
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
the whole neighborhood shut down, bartenders and servers in the area will receive no tips all night, regular ticket holders wait in line for hours just so the pedo president and his little hitler can walk right into a game the players don’t even want them at
Please consider getting a library card, even if you don’t use it much. Cities look at those numbers, and they help keep libraries open, funded properly, and safe from budget cuts.
If I went into a restaurant, took all the ice cream without paying, and then sold them as milkshakes, you wouldn't call me an 'innovator' you'd call me a thief. Same with if I taped 'MADELAINE' over a bunch of stolen Kylie cosmetic products and said I'd made them. Or if I sold tickets to Avatar and kept all the proceeds for myself because I'd put a trailer at the front.
You're not an 'AI content entrepreneur', you're a thief.
This is an official government account in a democracy.
This is what Orbanism looks like. The president bragging, via AI video, that he forced a comedian who mocked him off the air and ‘into the trash’.
absolutely losing my mind that you have hundreds of international citizens who were been abducted, abused, some raped and tortured by Israel and… crickets in our news media. We are beyond “complicity” and ‘giving Israel impunity’ - its complete acquiescence and surrender.
