GOOD NEWS
| Summer Streets is BACK! – Our favorite NYC activity – For the first 3 weekends in August, NYC shuts down the streets to cars so you can walk, jog, run and bike from the Brooklyn Bridge to East Harlem. August 6th, 13th and 20th from 7AM – 1PM! Rockaway Ferry is Open! – Peace out to the A Train. You can now take a 55 minute ferry from Wall Street to the Rockaways. Who wants to get their tan on? |
BAD NEWS
| MTA Hike…again? As if the train couldn’t get any worse…the MTA is projecting to run out of money for operating expenses a year earlier than expected. Ridership is currently at about 61% of pre-pandemic levels and with federal funding running out by 2025…you may be seeing some hikes and changes in the new year. |
