Is Every Sidewalk A Forest? A New MoMA PS1 Exhibit Reveals The Unexpected Natural Habitats Of New York
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin In the borough of Brooklyn, nestled between a Jewish day school and a kosher restaurant, is a parcel of land measuring seventy-one feet long and six inches wide. The lot was purchased in a municipal auction by a real estate developer in 1954. Not much has happened since. The only development has been the placement of a wooden plank in the ground, creating a fence that is as narrow as the property and as overweening as the reach of property rights in New York City. The fence was recently removed by the artist Niloufar Emamifar, opening the parcel to rodents and other small animals. This modest act of resistance, which is commemorated by the display of the plank at MoMA PS1, is a fitting point of entry into a stimulating new group exhibition called Life Between Buildings . Artists have recognized the vitality of interstitial spaces in New York City for at least half a century. One of the first to explore this realm in … [Read more...] about Is Every Sidewalk A Forest?

New York’s La Brasserie Is True To Tradition And Cordiality
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The re-opening last year of the space that had been Les Halles Boucherie Rotisserie as of 1991 in the architecturally historic Foltis-Fischer building is a welcome addition to the Park Avenue South neighborhood in need of good restaurants. In the 1990s this is where the late Anthony Bourdain was once chef, though, despite his eventual celeb status, the food and service never rose above the mediocre (given his own description in his book Kitchen Confidential of a drug-fueled staff, such was to be expected). The space was bought by Alsace-born Francis Staub, who began the immensely successful cookware line emblazoned with the image of a stork, and those who remember the old premises will be happy that Staub retained much of the configuration, with the millwork of the original entrance doors, zinc bar, terrazzo floor, egg-and-dart details on the coffered ceilings and burnished brass trim throughout. Now the place looks … [Read more...] about New York’s La Brasserie Is True To Tradition And Cordiality
‘Middle Finger To New York’: ‘The View’ Laments SCOTUS Decision On NY Concealed Carry Law
“The View” panel lamented the Supreme Court ruling Thursday that overturned a New York concealed carry law. The Court ruled in the case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Keith M. Corlett, that New York’s regulation requiring “proper cause” to obtain a license to conceal carry a handgun violates the Fourteenth Amendment by prohibiting a law-abiding citizen from bearing arms for self-defense purposes. “Given everything New York City is going through … it’s such a middle finger to New York,” co-host Whoopi Goldberg said. “It’s a middle finger to New York because, you know, we have been trying to figure out and get a handle on all that has been going on in this city in particular, with gun laws, and it makes you wonder, what does this mean? Are we saying to people ‘yes, you can come to this city and conceal your weapon’ and now the police have to figure out who’s carrying and who’s not and who’s legal to carry? I mean, it’s insane.” Co-host Sunny Hostin said the … [Read more...] about ‘Middle Finger To New York’: ‘The View’ Laments SCOTUS Decision On NY Concealed Carry Law
‘I’m Prepared To Go Back To Muskets’: New York Gov. Hochul Rages Over SCOTUS Overturning Concealed Carry Law
Democratic New York Gov. Kathy Hochul angrily responded to the Supreme Court ruling overturning her state’s gun law that required individuals to show “proper cause” to obtain a concealed carry permit in a Thursday address. The case , New York State Rifle & Pistol Association v. Keith M. Corlett, challenged the state regulation requiring “proper cause” to obtain a license to carry handguns in public. The Court struck down the law Thursday, ruling that proper cause “violates the Fourteenth Amendment” by preventing law-abiding citizens from keeping and bearing arms for self-defense purposes. Hochul blasted the decision of the “politicized Supreme Court” that New York “must demonstrate that the regulation is consistent with this nation’s history and tradition of firearm regulation.” She claimed the Court has “taken away” the state’s right to implement “reasonable restrictions” on gun ownership. “We’re not powerless in this situation. We’re not going to cede our rights that … [Read more...] about ‘I’m Prepared To Go Back To Muskets’: New York Gov. Hochul Rages Over SCOTUS Overturning Concealed Carry Law
Supreme Court strikes down New York’s restriction on concealed carry—a major blow for gun control advocates
A Supreme Court ruling released today, which addresses the right to carry firearms in public, is a major victory for gun rights proponents. advertisement advertisement The case, New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Inc. v. Bruen , the most significant on gun rights in 14 years , reverses a century-old regulation in New York that restricts concealed carry permits to only those who show “proper cause.” With today’s decision, citizens will likely no longer have to prove a specific requirement to receive a permit, potentially increasing the public prevalence of firearms in New York, including in crowded city spaces. The decision comes at a time of heightened concern about gun violence across the country, following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas, which has spurred Congress to work on bipartisan federal gun control legislation for the first time in 30 years. “We conclude that the State’s licensing regime violates the Constitution,” … [Read more...] about Supreme Court strikes down New York’s restriction on concealed carry—a major blow for gun control advocates
Student Loan Cancellation: New York Times Says Canceling Student Loans For Everyone Is A ‘Bad Idea’
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The New York Times editorial board says that canceling student loans for everyone is a “bad idea.” Here’s what you need to know — and what it means for your student loans . Student Loans In a major blow to supporters of wide-scale student loan cancellation, the New York Times editorial board officially opposes student loan forgiveness for all borrowers. Among the highlights of the new editorial: The burden of student loan debt is “crushing” and has caused “lasting, generational damage on the lives of millions of Americans”; However, if President Joe Biden enacts wide-scale student loan cancellation through an executive order, it would be “ legally dubious , economically unsound, politically unfraught, and educationally problematic”; Rather than cancel student loans for everyone, the Biden administration should make higher education more affordable and help student loan borrowers who are the … [Read more...] about Student Loan Cancellation: New York Times Says Canceling Student Loans For Everyone Is A ‘Bad Idea’
