CNN —Concorde, the world’s fastest commercial aircraft, has been making a rare journey – floating down New York’s Hudson River. The British Airways Concorde, one of only 20 of the supersonic aircraft to ever fly, has been en route back to NYC’s Intrepid Museum after being sanded and recoated during several months of restoration. The last ever flight by a Concorde was made on November 26, 2003. That aircraft, known as Delta Foxtrot, is now housed in Aerospace Bristol, an aviation museum in the west of England. Tours of Intrepid’s Concorde will resume on April 4, the museum says.

☆ Why NYC’s subway is struggling
  + stars: | 2023-09-21 | by ( Shawn Baldwin | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +1 min
Hybrid work has meant fewer riders on New York City's subway and a drop in fare revenue for the system's operator, the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The number of paying weekday subway riders averaged 3.6 million in June, according to the MTA, compared with daily ridership of almost 5.5 million in 2019. Inflation and transit crime have also impacted subway ridership. The MTA is the operator of New York's more than 6,400 subway cars, more than 5,700 buses, two of the country's busiest commuter trains, and multiple bridges and tunnels. So when will New York City subway riders return in greater numbers?

☆ Airbnb listings in NYC to shrink as city cracks down on short-term rentals
  + stars: | 2023-09-05 | by ( Marnie Hunter | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +6 min
CNN —Travelers looking to rent an apartment for a few days in New York City will find slimmer pickings now that city officials have started enforcing new rules cracking down on short-term rentals. Airbnb has called the rules a “de facto ban” on short-term rentals (STRs) that will hurt hosts and the tourism economy. The requirements for approval are strict and follow laws that pre-date the new registration rules. Hanson said that long-term average hotel occupancy in New York City is between 80% and 85%, well above the national average between 62% and 67%. Thousands of listings across various booking sites will be affected as the new registration rules are enforced.

☆ Too Many Cats, Too Few Vets: New York City Animal Shelters Are Bursting
  + stars: | 2023-08-13 | by ( Erin Nolan | More About Erin Nolan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
“She is the cutest, roly-poly, delicious dog,” said Katy Hansen, the director of marketing and communications for Animal Care Centers, which runs New York City’s public animal shelters. She said it was hard to believe Brooklyn had been living at the shelter for six months. The city’s shelter animal population has exploded, with many animals waiting weeks or months without being adopted. Because of overcrowding, dogs at the Manhattan shelter are being kept in makeshift kennels in offices, and stacks of cat cages line the halls. The cat population has grown to the point that last month, Animal Care Centers said it was “closed for cat intake.” But the organization’s contract with the city requires it to take in animals in need, and Ms. Hansen said hundreds of cats had been accepted since the announcement.

☆ Judge temporarily blocks NYC’s food delivery minimum wage law
  + stars: | 2023-07-07 | by ( Samantha Delouya | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
CNN —A judge has blocked New York City’s minimum wage law for food delivery workers from going into effect on July 12 until there is a hearing for a lawsuit filed by DoorDash and Grubhub against the city. The law, announced last month, would increase pay for app delivery workers to $17.96 per hour before tips on July 12 and bump up the minimum wage to nearly $20 per hour in April 2025. Uber — the parent company of Uber Eats — filed a separate lawsuit against the city challenging the law. New York City’s minimum wage law comes after online meal delivery services surged in popularity during the pandemic, and food delivery volumes still remain higher than pre-Covid levels. We look forward to the court’s decision and to apps beginning to pay these workers a dignified rate.”According to a news release from the city, Manhattan’s 60,000 food delivery workers currently make $7.09 per hour, on average.

An identical sign can be seen in the group’s “Pride 2021” Instagram highlight reel (see ninth and 12th slides) here. The Pride Train campaign, created by Thomas Shim (www.instagram.com/thomasshim) in 2017, has been featured in news reports since then. It was inspired that year by then-President Donald Trump’s refusal to formally acknowledge Pride Month, Shim has said in interviews (here), (here), (here). Pride Train and Thomas Shim did not immediately respond to Reuters’ requests for comment via Instagram message. The poster depicted as NYC subway signage in social media posts was created by an activist group, not the city’s transit authority.

☆ Roberta Flack has ALS, now ‘impossible to sing,’ rep says
  + stars: | 2022-11-14 | by ( Associated Press | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +3 min
A representative for Roberta Flack announced Monday that the Grammy-winning musician has ALS, commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, and can no longer sing. The progressive disease “has made it impossible to sing and not easy to speak,” Flack’s manager Suzanne Koga said in a release. Flack also plans to publish a children’s book co-written with Tonya Bolden, “The Green Piano: How Little Me Found Music,” that month. Flack had a stroke in 2016 and spoke to The Associated Press a little over two years later about returning to performing. “I could sing any number of songs that I’ve recorded through the years, easily, I could sing them, but I’m going to pick those songs that move me,” Flack said.
