Playoff disappointment compels NYRB revamp The Red Bulls’ playoff loss to the Montreal Impact made it easy to forget another strong regular season at Red Bull Arena, as New York finished first in the Eastern Conference during the regular season — an impressive feat considering the 1-6 start to the season the Red Bulls endured. During that same season, we saw Bradley Wright-Phillips lead MLS in goals and Sacha Kljestan lead in assists, earning both MVP finalist nods....

Speaking with Newsweek on Monday, State Sen. Zellnor Myrie said he was disappointed by the lack of public outrage over the shooting incident, which put Eric Diaz in hospital with serious injuries on Thursday. “We have become so normalized to these sorts of raids and these sorts of actions that… this hasn’t raised eyebrows and I think that is a real tragedy… that we’re used to this,” Myrie said....

The party took place on September 25 at the Miller Place Inn in Suffolk County, New York, county officials said.

Tyler Wilcha, who describes himself as a “lifelong resident of the Hudson Valley, New York, roughly 90 miles north of NYC,” shared a clip to TikTok revealing his nonsensical kitchen layout. Although Wilcha can actually use the cooker—which might be considered a luxury for some New York City tenants—it seems the kitchen designer didn’t fully think this one through.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after the Biden administration said it was lifting pandemic-related restrictions on seeking asylum, which were implemented by the Trump administration in March 2020.
