☆ Authorities swoop on Chinese restaurant that challenged customers to eat 108 dumplings
  + stars: | 2023-07-08 | by ( Chris Lau | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +3 min
Hong Kong CNN —A restaurant in China that challenged its customers to eat more than 100 dumplings in return for a free meal has fallen foul of authorities, who are investigating whether it has violated the country’s anti-food waste law. The challenge reportedly involved patrons competing to eat 108 chaoshous, or spicy wonton dumplings, as quickly as possible to win a free meal and additional prizes. The Cover said the restaurant, which it did not name, was one of several being probed by the authorities over similar competitions. Chinese leader Xi Jinping has in the past called food waste “shocking and distressing” and in March this year said agricultural supplies were like the foundation of national security. Will the food not consumed there actually go to the poor?” wrote one user on Weibo, China’s version of Twitter.

☆ Nathan’s July 4 Contest: Miki Sudo Narrowly Defends Women’s Title

For most of America, the Fourth of July evokes thoughts of fireworks, family and cookouts. But hours before any of those things begin in earnest, many Americans will turn their attention to a curious spectacle that has become another holiday tradition: the Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest. The definition of humanly possible has one meaning for most of the meat-eating world; it has quite another for most of the contestants. That is especially true for the defending champions, Joey Chestnut and Miki Sudo, who were back to defend their titles and possibly expand the notion of what is humanly possible. Chestnut holds the men’s world record of 76 hot dogs and buns eaten in 10 minutes in 2021, while Ms. Sudo holds the women’s world record of 48.5 hot dogs in 10 minutes.

☆ Mayor Adams Improvises His Way Through an Impossible Crisis
  + stars: | 2023-05-20 | by ( Ginia Bellafante | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Last weekend, several Brooklyn principals were told that their schools would immediately be sheltering hundreds of asylum seekers, by way of mayoral fiat. The schools themselves were not in affluent neighborhoods but rather served working-class families of color, who were now livid. Parents, many immigrants themselves, were concerned about safety and felt cheated that their children would be denied gym in schools that were hardly abundant with amenities. They began lining up as early as 3 in the morning on Tuesday in protest; some brought their children, others refused to send them to school at all. By the next day, after frantic meetings between administrators and parents, Mayor Eric Adams seemed to have reversed course, removing asylum seekers from a school gym in Coney Island and sending them to a vacant office in Midtown.

As New York City officials scramble to find housing for an expected influx of migrants, the city is planning to house them in a stand-alone school gym in Coney Island, officials said Friday. The city alerted the principal of P.S. 188 that the school’s gymnasium would be used as a sheltering site, said Ari Kagan, a Brooklyn councilman who represents the neighborhoods of Bensonhurst, Coney Island, Gravesend and Sea Gate. “People are really concerned,” Mr. Kagan said Friday night. Who knows?” He said that the city’s Office of Emergency Management would decide when people would be placed there.
☆ A Hurricane-Resistant Hospital Is Coming to Coney Island
  + stars: | 2023-05-01 | by ( Sharon Otterman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
New York City is about to cut the ribbon on a new $923 million public hospital building, not far from the beach in Coney Island, that is designed to be practically flood-proof and that promises to elevate the level of health care for hundreds of thousands of people in South Brooklyn. The new Ruth Bader Ginsburg Hospital building, which opens Tuesday, was born out of a crisis. During Hurricane Sandy in 2012, Coney Island Hospital, the former name of the campus where the new building is, flooded. When it came time to restore the facility, city hospital leaders convinced the Federal Emergency Management Agency that constructing a new building would cost the same as repairing and retrofitting the old one. With nearly $1 billion from the agency, the city’s public hospital system was able to construct a fortress, designed to withstand even a once-in-a-century flood.
☆ Deadly NYC parking garage collapse leads to safety sweep and closure of 4 garages in the city

NYC building officials have inspected 78 buildings so far since the collapse of a three-story parking garage in April. Officials closed four NYC parking structures over safety concerns, AP reported. City building officials said they closed down four parking garages in a safety sweep of about 78 structures, the Associated Press reported. "During our sweep of 78 parking structures, we found four locations where structural concerns necessitated areas of the buildings to be immediately vacated," he added. A 2022 mandate required parking structures to be inspected by owners at least every six years, the AP reported.
☆ 4 Parking Garages Ordered Evacuated After Deadly Collapse in Manhattan
  + stars: | 2023-04-28 | by ( Patrick Mcgeehan | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In the wake of a deadly collapse of a parking garage in Lower Manhattan last week, New York City officials found structural problems at four other garages so dangerous they ordered the buildings at least partially vacated. At those four garages — two in Manhattan and two in Brooklyn — the city’s Buildings Department found that the structures had “deteriorated to the point where they were now posing an immediate threat to public safety,” said Andrew Rudansky, a spokesman for the department. The discoveries, he said, came during inspections of garages conducted after the April 18 collapse of a garage on Ann Street in the Financial District in Manhattan that left its manager dead in the rubble and five others injured. Engineers found that a two-story garage at 2781 Stillwell Avenue in the Coney Island section of Brooklyn was in “severe disrepair,” Mr. Rudansky said. The department issued a “full vacate order” for the entire building and ordered its owners to close for business and immediately retain a professional engineer to compile a structural report, he said.

A man was killed by New York City police officers in the famed Coney Island area after he allegedly threatened to shoot two women, police said. Three units responded to the corner of West 36th Street and Neptune Avenue, including one police marked vehicle with two uniformed officers and two unmarked vehicles manned by public safety officers, Maddrey said. As soon as the units arrived to the corner, officers saw a male with a gun. When officers exited their vehicles to approach him, he “immediately starts shooting at the officers,” Maddrey said. The suspect eventually got down on the ground, but continued to shoot at the officers.
