Shocking Upper West Side bagel news. Absolute Bagels is "closed for good," multiple employees said on Thursday. The storefront is already shuttered. Unclear the reasoning for the closure but it is not the health department. “There are many problems. The owner is old.”

For the first time, the American Museum of Natural History will serve as an Early Voting site. You'll get to vote in the new Richard Gilder Center and also get a custom I Voted early sticker. The museum stepped up after an UWS school voiced concerns about serving as site.

NYC students will now get Student OMNY cards which are a huge changer. Good for 4 rides, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! So kids can tap for subways & buses on weekends, holidays, summers. Students will receive them in early September. new.mta.info/fares/student-o…

I, too, invoked “The Official Preppy Handbook”—literally taking out my dogeared copy I uh borrowed from my uncle—when my 14 yo and her friends were using the term “preppy” to describe something not preppy. – at Manhattan, NY

What’s is more New York than listening to an @MTAArtsDesign Music Under New York performer—@augie_bello—as NYC school children walk by? 🎶🩷🚇

#AndJustLikeThat, Carrie made the switch to OMNY. You can too! Starting this Sunday, tap any day of the week, and after your 12th paid tap, the rest of your rides are free in that 7-day period. Learn more: omny.info

20 years ago, NYC and tens of millions in 8 states (and Ontario) plunged into darkness when an overgrown tree branch knocked out a power line in Cleveland. I wrote about the 15th anniversary of the August 14, 2003 blackout-check out the photos! gothamist.com/news/photos-th…

Fifteen years ago today, at about 4:10 p.m., New York City was suddenly powerless
