Good Wednesday morning in New York City, where it's nice again.
Here's what else is happening:
- "The Trump administration secured the border, and because of that, you’re not seeing the thousands of people coming in, and it has been a real relief for our city," Mayor Eric Adams told the New York Post yesterday.
- There are a bunch of great photos in this feature about the potential twilight of one of the last remaining middle-class co-op buildings on 57th Street, now known as "Billionaires' Row."
- A bunch of high-profile progressives Democrats are supporting state Assemblymember Jessica González-Rojas of Queens in her primary challenge against incumbent state Sen. Jessica Ramos, who alienated many on the left by endorsing Andrew Cuomo for mayor.
- Tangram, a new mall in Flushing that's full of Asian stores and restaurants, is bumping.
- An old Atlantic City strip club is going up for auction.
- We need more shade.
- The reviews are in: James Corden's new "Smurfs" movie is the best one yet, but still annoying.
- And finally, classic panda:
