WHAT can I add to the recent mayoral primary victory this week? Given the strong possibility that Zohran Mamdani will be the next Mayor of New York City, and that his unique policies will require big expenditures by city government, my guess is that ‘Taxing the Rich’ will be his way to pay for it.

THOUGH it’s not even summer technically, the local news biz has dried up. No reports of Taylor Swift at xyz cafe on Vernon B, with or without Kelcy Travis. No politics, it’s all national/global this week. Oh wait, what do we have here, a local acquisition… contact Goldman Stanley asap, get the head of M&A on the phone, all hands on deck!

GEE willikers, it’s that time of the year again. ManhattanHenge was scheduled to take place on May 28 & 29, but weather interruptus, and returns on July 11 & 12.

And while I don’t know what that term means exactly, I’d like to think there is nudity involved. With or without bare skin, it also spans the time of year when the days are at their longest. Get out there and enjoy!
