Saddened to hear Charlie Gordon, a staple in Astoria, passed away this weekend. Over 30 years, he became “The Sandwich King” and few could argue that. Thoughts and condolences go out to the entire Sal, Kris & Charlie's family.

Thrilled to be a featured speaker at NYC Environmental Law Leadership Institute’s Rikers Revisioning Forum next Tuesday at @RiisSettlement!
Look forward to sharing our vision for a #RenewableRikers that can close dirty power plants.
Not surprised to see Astoria is among the top coolest neighborhoods in the WORLD!
There are few Parks with better views than our, some of the best restaurants in NYC, and an incredibly diverse community!

Great meeting with #NewtownCreek stakeholders ahead of last night’s boat tour.
We need to work together on making this a healthy waterway after it absorbed pollution for generations.
Thanks to @NewtownCreek for your ongoing advocacy!
This morning I stood with @TransAlt, @SenGianaris & @AravellaSimotas to make a simple ask of @MTA: reopen the Triborough’s southern pedestrian path, create separate lanes for biking & walking, and install protective fencing.

18 years later, we have not forgotten and we will #NeverForget the sacrifice so many made on 9/11.
Our hearts are with those we lost that day, their families, and everyone we’ve lost since because of this tragedy.

Glad to see homeowners will no longer bear an unfair burden for tree-damaged sidewalks. I’ve heard from too many people over the years who’ve had liens put on their home for something that should be a City responsibility.
