As a New York City resident, I've been hesitant about becoming a Costco member. I finally joined over the summer and decided to compare city and suburb locations. Go to newsletter preferences Thanks for signing up! AdvertisementI now live in New York City and, after joining Costco, assumed I would order products online. Still, I needed to know: Is a New York City Costco the same as the suburban Costco I've visited in the past?

“I noticed that my family had already created a very welcoming environment for the Latino community, the Mexican community, the immigrant community,” said Café Ollín co-owner Jonathan Perez, whose parents opened the restaurant. NBC NewsThe restaurant has hosted queer singles’ nights, LGBTQ+ paint and sips and drag shows, providing a safe community space for all who enter. “I think it was still very much taboo and especially, in the Hispanic community, the Mexican community,” he said. Mole chicken served with rice, beans and tortillas at the Ollín restaurant. Perez said it’s all about having your family of chance, and your family of choice.

David Paterson and his stepson were attacked Friday while on a walk in Manhattan by assailants who had “a previous interaction” with the stepson, a spokesperson for Paterson said. Paterson, 70, and his adult stepson both went to a hospital as precaution after the attack on Second Avenue in East Harlem, according to Paterson's spokesperson, Sean Darcy, and New York City police. "Governor Paterson and his stepson were attacked this evening while taking a walk around the block near their home by some individuals that had a previous interaction with his stepson,” Darcy said in a statement.

KINSALE, Ireland — Three days and 225 miles later, a group of almost 100 serving and retired firefighters from New York and Ireland will cycle into a garden of remembrance on Wednesday to honor those who were killed in the 9/11 terror attacks. Ambassador's Dublin residence on Monday, the hardy group made their way across Ireland’s lush, rolling hills peddling their way to 17 fire stations and a fair few pubs along the way. It's part of a bid to raise money for the victims and for those still suffering from injuries and the effects of their work at Ground Zero. “We lost 343 firefighters in an instant,” one of the cyclists, Michael Schreiber, told NBC News on Monday, adding that 370 had died since 9/11. “I lost so many friends that day, and I still continue to lose guys,” he said.

New York is a closed primary state, meaning Democrats and Republicans can vote only in their own parties’ primaries. Bowman and Mr. Latimer may serve as harbingers of many political benchmarks. Mr. Latimer is largely supportive of Israel, calling for a return of all hostages before any potential cease-fire. Mr. Latimer has received $14.5 million in support from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. It has also featured negative characterizations, with Mr. Latimer portraying Mr.

In Brooklyn, a State Assembly race has attracted the involvement of marquee figures like Hakeem Jeffries, the House Democratic leader, and Letitia James, the New York State attorney general. In East Harlem, race and ethnicity have cast shadows over another contest, with the question of whether the neighborhood should be represented by a Latino. And in Westchester County, a Democratic primary fight has included ugly accusations of lies, betrayal and purloined emails. If there was any illusion that Democrats in New York would play nice until November’s all-important general election, these contests for the Assembly in Tuesday’s primaries suggest otherwise. At the heart of many of these contests lies a long-simmering tension between institutional and progressive Democrats that has come to dominate many debates inside the State Legislature, including those involving housing and criminal justice.

☆ James Chance, No Wave and Punk-Funk Pioneer, Dies at 71

James Chance, the singer, saxophonist and composer who melded punk, funk and free jazz into bristling dance music as the leader of the Contortions, died on Tuesday in Manhattan. His brother, David Siegfried, said Mr. Chance had been in declining health for years and succumbed to complications of gastrointestinal disease at the Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center in East Harlem. Contortions songs like “I Can’t Stand Myself” and “Throw Me Away” filled the rhythmic structures of James Brown’s funk with angular, dissonant riffs, to be topped by Mr. Chance’s yelping, blurting, screaming vocals and his trilling, squawking alto saxophone. He was a live wire onstage, with his own twitchy versions of moves adapted from Brown, Mick Jagger and his punk contemporaries.

Her mother always called out “I love you, baby,” before leaving for work; there was only silence. The cooked shrimp and macaroni and cheese for the feast her mother had planned for co-workers was in the kitchen. And in the bedroom, the would-be hostess, Erica Robertson, 29, was dead on the floor, a knife protruding from her chest, a single glove by her side. Nearly 20 years ago I wrote an About New York column about the murders of two young women. Both had moved to the city from Columbus, Ohio, and both had been stabbed to death in their apartments.

Just before noon last Saturday, a 9-year-old girl was with her mother at Grand Central Terminal when a man strode up to the child and, without warning, punched her in the face, according to the police. The child, dizzy and in pain, was taken to the hospital. It was the second time in nine days that Mr. Zarzuela had randomly attacked someone at the terminal, the police said. On April 4, they said, he punched a 56-year-old woman in the face, causing her nose to bleed and her left eye to swell shut. And it was among a number of recent assaults that have unnerved New Yorkers, who have seen a rash of attacks reported on the streets and on the subway.

☆ Keith Haring’s Legacy Is Not Found at the Museum

In their eyes I don’t exist.’”Haring’s frustration surely feels surprising for anyone who is familiar with his work, which is mostly everyone. You needn’t be able to name a Keith Haring picture to recognize it; its vibrating line and electric palette announce itself as efficiently as a neon sign. And it is more so now, 34 years after his death, in 1990 at the age of 31, as his work continues to permeate contemporary art. In his short but intense career, Haring’s pulsating figures became an inextricable part of New York City life, like ancient hieroglyphics that weren’t as much drawn as unearthed. And yet the most likely place you’ll encounter it now is still not the museum, but the mall, which was his own doing.

The man who the police said pushed a subway rider in front of an oncoming train in East Harlem on Monday night, killing him, appears to have had a history of committing violent acts against others and struggles with mental illness. The man, Carlton McPherson, 24, was arrested and charged with murder after pushing another man in front of an oncoming No. The man who was killed was identified by two police officials and an internal report as Jason Volz, 54. Responding officers found Mr. Volz underneath the train car with “severe trauma to the body and face,” according to the report. Witnesses pointed out Mr. McPherson to officers as he was leaving the scene and he was taken into custody.

A man was killed Monday evening after being pushed onto the subway tracks in an unprovoked attack at the 125th Street station at Lexington Avenue in East Harlem, according to the Police Department. At 6:48 p.m., a man on the uptown platform shoved the person onto the tracks in front of the oncoming No. 4 train, which was unable to stop, a police spokeswoman said. Train service at the station resumed by 9 p.m., but a large number of police officers remained at the scene. “The subway has been insane lately,” Ray Velez, 60, from the Bronx, said as he waited on the 125th St. platform two hours after the attack.

Over 100,000 Americans now die from drug overdoses annually. Upon taking office, Mayor Eric Adams, Mr. de Blasio’s successor, has continued to support the sites’ work. Some neighbors, politicians and media have claimed that the centers — one in East Harlem and one in Washington Heights — are increasing crime and public drug use in neighborhoods already burdened with poverty. But an important new study published this week refutes these claims. It shows that violent and property crime rates near the two overdose prevention centers (sometimes referred to as safe injection or safe consumption sites) did not increase any more than crime in similar neighborhoods elsewhere in the city.

NEW YORK (AP) — Target on Wednesday reported better-than-expected profits and sales in its third quarter, benefiting from efforts to hold down costs. Revenue slipped more than 4%, however, with customers saddled with broadly higher costs as the holiday season nears. Political Cartoons View All 1247 ImagesAnalysts were expecting a profit of $1.47 per share on revenue of $25.29 billion in the quarter, according to FactSet. That metric was down 5.4% in the fiscal second quarter and in the fiscal first quarter, sales were unchanged. For the fourth quarter, Target expects comparable sales in a wide range around a mid-single digit decline, and earnings per share of $1.90 to $2.60 per share.
