Because "Once Upon a One More Time" didn't last long on Broadway, here are your afternoon links: Didarul Islam's widow gave birth, Andrew Cuomo's TikToks, cocaine is very popular in Ireland and more.

Good Monday afternoon in New York City, where 15-year-olds will soon be barred from paying the not-otherwise-teenager-friendly price to ride a Citi Bike.
Here's what else is happening:
- Jamila Akhter, the widow of slain NYPD officer Didarul Islam, gave birth to the family's third child this morning, three weeks after Islam was killed in a mass shooting at a Midtown office building.
- "They’re baby boomers like me. They never make you laugh. They make you cringe": Republican mayoral candidate Curtis Sliwa on Andrew Cuomo and Eric Adams making TikToks.
- "Once Upon a One More Time," a Britney Spears jukebox musical that had a brief run on Broadway in 2023, is now being staged in Suffolk County.
- The Frick Collection is the best attraction in New York City, according to Time Out.
- Another school year, another debate about whether class should start at 9 a.m. so the kids can sleep as long as their circadian rhythms require.
- Your toddler doesn't need added protein.
- They don't need the status melon either, but they'd probably enjoy it!
- Cocaine: big in Ireland.
- And finally, signing off:
