More than four in ten Bronx residents say they feel lonely, making the borough New York's most isolated county, a finding that lands in a state already ranked among the loneliest in America. An August 2026 report from Mood.com, a cannabis sales site, analyzed CDC data on community, mood, and loneliness covering 39 states and 184.2 million American adults. Bronx County came in first among New York's loneliest counties, with a 41% loneliness rate, meaning roughly four out of every ten adults in a borough of more than 1.4 million people told federal surveyors they feel lonely always, usually, or sometimes. The New York Post reported the full county-by-county breakdown. Queens followed at 39.4%. Manhattan came in third at 38.1%. Brooklyn…Open

New York City's first lady is set to spend nearly two weeks at a posh Islamic calligraphy retreat in the Portuguese countryside this September, her third European getaway with the same organization this year, while critics say she has shown more interest in overseas travel than in the city her husband governs. Rama Duwaji, the 29-year-old wife of Mayor Zohran Mamdani, will serve as "artist-in-residence" at a "Journey through Islamic Calligraphy" retreat hosted by The Women Sanctuary at a manor house in Arcos de Valdevez, near Porto, Portugal. The retreat runs two sessions, September 16, 21 and September 25, 30, and costs attendees between $4,300 for a shared room and $5,260 for a private room with a private bathroom, the New York Post…Open
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's flagship universal childcare program faces an embarrassing debut, providers contracted to open classrooms on September 10 say the city has not sent the advance payments they need to hire staff, buy supplies, or even fix the plumbing. Across Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn, directors of small daycare centers told the New York […] The post NYC childcare providers still waiting on six-figure payments as Mamdani's free pre-K expansion stumbles before day one appeared first on American Almanac .
Mayor Zohran Mamdani's flagship universal childcare program faces an embarrassing debut, providers contracted to open classrooms on September 10 say the city has not sent the advance payments they need to hire staff, buy supplies, or even fix the plumbing. Across Queens, Staten Island, and Brooklyn, directors of small daycare centers told the New York Post they are draining personal savings, maxing out credit lines, delaying staff paychecks, and skipping their own salaries to keep doors open, all while City Hall and the Comptroller's office trade blame over unregistered contracts. The result: the city's 2-K, 3-K, and pre-K programs, the centerpiece of Mamdani's 2025 campaign, risk opening without teachers, without supplies, and without…Open
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is moving to fire two air traffic controllers who left their shifts early on the night of the deadly March 22 runway collision at LaGuardia Airport, according to various reporting. The incident occurred just before midnight when an incoming Air Canada Express flight collided with a Port Authority fire truck crossing the runway, killing both pilots and injuring nearly 40 people. Investigators revealed that the early departures left the tower severely understaffed, forcing a single controller to dangerously combine both air and ground traffic control duties while the only other controller on duty was distracted by a separate aircraft emergency. Government sources to The Wall Street Journal and other…

At least three separate incidents of people entering and exiting New York City's sewer system at night have baffled investigators and residents alike, and so far, not a single person has been arrested or identified. Around 4 a.m. on a Tuesday morning near Penn Station, a security camera captured three figures in overalls and headlamps pulling themselves out of a manhole at 32nd Street and Seventh Avenue, one of the busiest corridors in Manhattan. They climbed out, one after another, and ran. The NYPD confirmed it is investigating the incident. Authorities inspected the sewer system afterward but have released no further details about what, if anything, the trio was doing underground. The Penn Station episode was not a one-off. It…Open
