NYC has more bodegas than Walmart has stores in the entire United States.
13,000+ bodegas.
4,600 Walmarts.
The bodega is the only retail format that survived Amazon, COVID, and rising rents.
Tell me where else in America you can get a sandwich, a phone charger, a lottery ticket, and life advice at 3 AM.
Today, I signed an Executive Order temporarily repealing bedtimes in the City of New York so that kids of all ages can watch our team in the NBA Finals.
As Mayor, you’re forced to make many difficult decisions. This was not one of them.
Go Knicks.
@mistervvs_ I had a friend from Atlanta stop by my NYC, he thought oh this apartment is cute I could ... I told him the price he was like WHAT?! that's more than my mortgage. I am like yup now shut up.
New Yorkers shouldn’t have to worry every time it rains. Ahead of this weekend’s storms, City workers have been out across all five boroughs clearing and inspecting catch basins in flood-prone neighborhoods.
Today I joined @NYCWater in Bushwick to clear a catch basin overflowing with debris and litter on Knickerbocker Avenue, one of the areas hit hardest by Wednesday’s storm.
If you see a clogged catch basin, call 311.
And if you’re able, help your neighbors by clearing leaves or litter from nearby grates before the rain arrives.
