No word yet who the guests will be on tonight's series finale of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, but there are lots of black SUVs parked outside the Ed Sullivan Theater, the stage door has been covered with a tent and there are several police officers nearby.

‘New York’ Magazine has won the 2026 National Magazine Awards for General Excellence, the night’s top honor, and for Photography.

The General Excellence award honored a body of work that included Lila Shapiro’s investigation into Neil Gaiman’s predations, the first major profile of Zohran Mamdani, and The Cut's exploration of the “Forever-35 Face,” and two print issues: one featuring Brock Colyar’s cover story on the rise of the West Village Girl, the other with Suzy Hansen’s sweeping essay on war crimes in Gaza.

The Photography award honored work that included Stephanie Keith's portfolio of the ICE seizures of immigrants as they attend routine hearings at 26 Federal Plaza; the “Power” issue, with Elinor Kry's portraits of 13 up-and-coming Democrats on their home turf and Henry Leutwyler’s documentation of Misty Copeland on her final day at ABT; and the “Legends of Broadway” issue, in which 29 stars got back into costume to reenact their definitive roles before Mark Seliger’s lens.

NYC is facing yawning budget deficits for years to come. A big question for the mayor is if he is going to back off his tax the rich fight after the imbroglio with Griffin, and how his base will respond.
