Summer Streets is returning once again this summer for the last weekend of July (27th) and the four Saturdays of August (3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th), and this year’s iteration is going to be the largest one yet!

For those unfamiliar with the event, Summer Streets is an annual pedestrian and cycling haven where miles of NYC across the five boroughs are closed off to cars. According to the DOT, more than half a million people now take advantage of the open streets!

And this year, the DOT is expanding the program’s hours to 7 am to 3 pm (previously 7 am to 1 pm) to make sure more New Yorkers get the chance to enjoy the car-free zones. This is the first time the program will expand its hours since launching in 2008.

The 2024 NYC Summer Streets schedule is as follows:

Saturday, July 27:

• Queens: Vernon Boulevard between 44 Drive and 30 Road
• Staten Island: Broadway between Richmond Terrace and Clove Road

Saturday, August 3, 10, & 17:

• Brooklyn Bridge to West 125 Street
• Lafayette Street and Park Avenue between Brooklyn Bridge and East 109 Street
• East 109 Street between Park Avenue and 5th Avenue
• 5th Avenue between East 109 Street and Central Park North
• Central Park North between 5th Avenue and Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard
• Adam Clayton Powell Jr Boulevard between Central Park North and West 125 Street

Saturday, August 24:

• Brooklyn: Eastern Parkway between Grand Army Plaza and Buffalo Avenue
• The Bronx: Grand Concourse between East Tremont Avenue and Mosholu Parkway

During the hours that the streets are closed exciting programming and activities take place along the designated routes, such as dance and musical performances, fitness classes, and interactive workshops.

Stay tuned for more programming information to come.

The votes are in and here’s a comprehensive list of what happened during June Primary for Black and Brown candidates running for Congress and State Assembly. 

Early voting capped with 46,241 voters as of the close of polls just before Tuesday. The most votes coming in from Queens.

An Election Night’s recap, according to unofficial city and state election night results posted by the Board of Elections (BOE):

Famed Congressmember Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) took an early lead and ultimately won her reelection over candidate Marty Dolan in the 14th congressional district with 82.02% of the votes. 

RELATED: The voting power of the Bronx’s Co-op City

Incumbent Congressmember Jamaal Bowman took an early lead with 83.56% of the votes in his highly anticipated smackdown with Westchester County Executive George Latimer in the 16th congressional district. Then, Latimer started to outpace Bowman with 58.81 % of the votes shortly after the close of polls. Bowman’s lead dropped to 40.60 %. Outlets called the race in Latimer’s favor.

“We have so much work still to do,” said Bowman in his live streamed speech about the loss. He thanked his on the ground team and staff. “Let’s keep building coalition.”

In response to the results National Director of the Working Families Party Maurice Mitchell added in a statement, “Rep. Jamaal Bowman faced an avalanche of outside spending from AIPAC and its GOP donors. Even with a powerful, multi-racial coalition behind him, it wasn’t enough to overcome the onslaught of attack ads and misinformation.”

In the five eagerly watched state assembly races in Harlem, Brooklyn, and the Bronx, here’s who took home the gold:

Harlem Assembly candidate Jordan J. G. Wright scored the coveted 70 Assembly seat to replace longtime Assemblymember Inez Dickens, who is slated to retire this year. Wright maintained an early lead with 47.93% of the votes. Opponents Maria Ordoñez got 29.50%, Shana Harmongoff got 17.22%, and Craig Schley got 5.10%.

Between incumbent Assemblymember Stefani Zinerman and newcomer Eon Tyrell Huntley in District 56, were neck and neck. Zinerman maintained her early lead with 52.34% of the votes. Huntley trailed close behind with 47.34%. 

Incumbent Assemblymember Eddie Gibbs took an early lead with 42.00% of the votes over candidates Tamika Mapp, Xavier Santiago, and William Smith in District 68, cinching his reelection. 

Incumbent Assemblymember Al Taylor garnered 72.14% of the votes over candidate Julien Segura in District 71. Segura got 27.01%.

And, newly elected via special election Assemblymember Landon Dais beat out challenger Leonardo Jose Coello in District 77. Dais got 59.21% of the votes and Coello trailed close behind with 40.32%.

For a New Yorker, there’s nothing quite like the excitement and proudness involved in hearing that, statistically speaking, we are, indeed, living in the best city in the country.

Sure, we might pretend that we don’t care about what other people think but when Resonance—a consulting-like company in the tourism, real estate and economic development world—released its annual ranking of America’s Best Cities, we did a sigh of joy when noticing our own town at the top of the list. 

To come up with its top ten list, the company looked at a number of factors, including ease of airport connectivity, volume of check-ins on Facebook and mentions on Instagram, amount of Fortune 500 companies, number of nightlife and outdoor recreation experiences and more. 

For the first time ever this year, Resonance also partnered with Ipsos to “incorporate perception-based data” in the study, according to a press release. 

This is the eighth annual America’s Best Cities ranking—and New York has topped the list since the inaugural report. 

This year’s survey particularly highlights the city’s sights and landmarks and the awesome shopping opportunities we have at our fingertips.

“When it’s your turn to return to America’s best city, do yourself a favor and make time to see the phoenix rise from above: there are the classics, like the Empire State Building and the Top of the Rock, but there are also spectacular new perches, like SUMMIT One Vanderbilt and its all-glass exterior elevators, called Ascent. Go up, look down and breathe out. This city is back,” reads the New York portion of the report, which also mentions the 100-year anniversary of the Museum of the City of New York, the $500 million renovation of the Met and the massive upgrades to the city’s major airports. 

Here is the top 10 list of America’s Best Cities, a ranking you can read more about right here.

1. New York, New York
2. Chicago, Illinois
3. Los Angeles, California
4. Miami, Florida
5. Las Vegas, Nevada
6. San Francisco, California
7. Boston, Massachusetts
8. Washington, D.C.
9. Seattle, Washington
10. Houston, Texas

And in case you missed, it NYC’s Empire State Building was just named the No. 1 attraction in the world by Tripadvisor. Clearly, NYC is doing something right.
