Months before her Brooklyn Heights townhouse sold, the comedian picked up a three-bedroom condo overlooking Central Park.

After a short stint in Brooklyn, Amy Schumer is back on the Upper West Side. The comedian and actress recently sold her Brooklyn Heights townhouse for $11 million, with plans to move back to Manhattan to be close to her son's school. As the New York Post first reported, Schumer bought a corner condo...

The 11,670-square-foot home at 323 West 80th Street is a head-turning masterpiece of Elizabethan Renaissance Revival style, as well as being a true city mansion with an underground private garage, a gym, and a roof terrace.

When creative couple Bill and Donna DeSeta bought the home for $170,000 in the 1970s, they were attracted to its eclectic old-world charm, though it had fallen into disrepair, divided into small apartments occupied by squatters.

Inspired by his theatrical career, Bill, who was a noted Broadway producer, production designer, rock club owner, and all-around New York City cultural fixture, undertook a renovation with a creative eye.

“68 King Street marks our second Manhattan acquisition this year, and we look forward to soon unveiling the visionary design team behind it."

A new development promising an "elevated residential experience" is moving forward in Hudson Square. Avdoo last week closed on 68 King Street for $63 million, with financing from Valley National Bank. The developer is planning a 200,000-square-foot luxury residential building, with the use of 125,00...

“The results are in and it is clear that in just one year, congestion pricing has been an unprecedented success in New York,” Hochul said in a statement. “By every measure, this program has met or exceeded expectations: traffic and gridlock are down substantially, people are moving faster, air quality is improved, streets are safer and our economy is stronger.”

By nearly every measure, congestion pricing is working. In the first year of the program, 27 million fewer vehicles entered Manhattan south of 60th Street, resulting in an 11 percent reduction in traffic. The program, which began on January 5, 2025, is on track to generate $550 million in revenue fo...

A new law expanding the number of street vending permits approved by the Council faced another obstacle; it was among 19 bills vetoed by Mayor Eric Adams on his last day in office.

The city's street vendors are often in the news for their struggle to stay on the right side of the law–and stay in business. Last month, the City Council passed a bill that would add significantly to the existing caps on licenses and permits for vendors. The New York Times reported that the limit...

“I want these hearings to expose the ugly underbelly of our city,” Mamdani said during a press conference on Sunday. “The rats that scurry through hallways. The children that shiver in their beds in the dead of winter because the heat is off. The fees imposed on pregnant mothers because of the fear that their babies may be too loud.”

New York City renters dealing with poor living conditions or bad landlords will have an opportunity to share their apartment complaints directly with the city. Mayor Zohran Mamdani on Sunday announced plans to host "rental rip-off" hearings across the five boroughs to hear from tenants on challenges...

The MetroCard, the iconic fare payment method for New York City’s public transit system, is now officially a thing of the past.

On Wednesday, the MTA retired the MetroCard, ending the era of the iconic fare payment method that replaced tokens in 1994.

“This marks a significant moment in our city’s history, and we are deeply honored that Mayor-elect Mamdani has chosen to take the oath of office using one of the Library’s Qur’ans,” Anthony W. Marx, president and CEO of The New York Public Library, said.

“This specific Qur’an, which Arturo Schomburg preserved for the knowledge and enjoyment of all New Yorkers, symbolizes a greater story of inclusion, representation, and civic-mindedness.”

Mamdani, New York City's first Muslim mayor, will put his hand on a Quran that belonged to Arturo Schomburg, a historian and writer whose collection of Black literature, art, and other materials formed the foundation of the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.
