TACOs are back. President Trump announced yesterday that he will nominate Jay Clayton, the U.S. attorney in Manhattan, to be the next director of national intelligence. This comes after pushback on the Hill to acting director Bill Pulte, a top Trump housing official. Meanwhile, just hours after declaring strikes on Iran for a third night in a row, Trump canceled the attacks, citing a breakthrough in negotiations. Is a deal within reach, or is this just another twist in a long-running standoff? Plus, the G7 Summit kicks off on Monday – and U.S. and European leaders alike are setting a low bar for success.  Follow POLITICO here:     ➤ X: https://x.com/politico/  ➤ Instagram:  / politico       ➤ Facebook:  / politico    For more news and analysis, subscribe to the Playbook newsletter: politico.com/playbook 

Fresh off a $10 billion valuation, the direct-from-manufacturer online retailer Quince is on a hot streak. It's been testing physical retail with pop-ups and expanding into new categories, from furniture to caviar. But while the company had no shortage of sales, what it was lacking was a coherent brand story. Dakota Kate Isaacs, formerly a senior director at The Ordinary, started at Quince in February as the company's first head of brand strategy and narrative. Her goal has been to help Quince build an emotional connection with its customers, for reasons beyond just the low prices that attract them in the first place. Isaacs spoke with senior fashion reporter Danny Parisi at the Glossy E-commerce Summit in Miami this month to discuss what strategies she's been adopting to build those relationships. "My goal is not to create a new story for the brand, but [instead] to articulate the story to everyone," she said. "The narrative around Quince often gets condensed just to price, but the price isn't the story. The price is the result of the system, and the system is the story." To that end, Isaacs has been pushing for more initiatives, including a recent furniture pop-up in Los Angeles. Isaacs said pop-ups allow new categories like fragrance and wellness to be introduced in a more comprehensive, aesthetically cohesive way, with accompanying imagery and branding. For example, another recent pop-up for its fine jewelry category was held in a coffee shop in Manhattan. "I'm working to tell the true story of the business," Isaacs said. "What makes this business unique is the technology and the system behind the business

Documents released in the Justice Department's Epstein files include an FBI interview in which a woman described unusual statements Jeffrey Epstein allegedly made about fathering a child. According to the account recorded by investigators, the woman said Epstein showed her a photograph of a blonde woman displayed inside his Manhattan mansion and told her the woman was the “mother of his child.” The same interview described Epstein keeping a sculpture of a headless female torso in another room that he said had been modeled after that same woman, whom he allegedly described as the “perfect woman.” The woman's statements were preserved in FBI interview notes that became part of the broader investigative file compiled during the federal investigation into Epstein's activities.The files also contain claims that Epstein sometimes spoke about wanting to impregnate women and expressed an interest in spreading his DNA. Investigators recorded statements from victims who said Epstein made remarks about wanting them to carry his child, though the context and credibility of those claims remain disputed. The documents do not provide confirmation that Epstein actually had any children, and there has been no verified evidence publicly establishing that he fathered a child. Instead, the material reflects allegations and recollections provided by witnesses during interviews with federal investigators as they attempted to document the details of Epstein's behavior and statements.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Jeffrey Epstein WAS a dad: The pedophile's shocking confession and the photo of the blonde he called the 'perfect woman' | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Behind the walls of H.H. Holmes' "World's Fair Hotel" waited trap doors, gas chambers, and a basement of acid vats — and more than a century after the Murder Castle burned, something still lingers at 63rd and Wallace.EPISODE BLOG PAGE (includes sources): https://weirddarkness.com/HHHolmesHotelREAD or DOWNLOAD the full transcript of this episode: https://weirddarkness.tiny.us/57djvd7fFEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: It's one of the most infamous and macabre subjects of Chicago history – it even served as inspiration for TV's “American Horror Story: Hotel”. It's what has become known as “The Murder Castle” where serial killer H.H. Holmes committed his monstrous crimes. But even today, Holmes continues to terrify… in spectral form. (H.H. Holmes' Hellish Hotel And Lingering Haunting) *** A woman tries to save the soul of her daughter, believing her to be possessed… but her solution to drive out the demon was to murder her daughter using a holy crucifix. (Murder By Crucifix) *** What's worse than proclaiming yourself to be a supernatural being and starting your own cult? How about telling your followers you are God so you could do drugs and have sex with teenage girls? It's the disturbing true story of the cult called “The Group”. (Theodore Rinaldo – The Drug Cult Rapist) *** Shrunken heads – believe it or not, they are real. And some tribal peoples create them even today – from real human heads. But why do it at all? We'll look at the reality behind shrunken heads, the reason they are created… and even how they are created. (The History and How of Shrunken Heads) *** A terrifying series of paranormal activities invade a family's home in Wales. (The Swansea Entity) *** Tenome is a Japanese Urban Legend about a blind man who was robbed and murdered. His dying wish? To have eyes on his hands so he could see. (The Seeing Hands of Tenome) *** Unsolved mysteries are intriguing simply because they are unsolved. That's why we are so fascinated by stories of people disappearing without a trace. But one man's disappearance is so bizarre, so weird, that upon hearing the story you'll be scratching your head wondering what the heck you just heard.

Copyright ©2026, Weird Darkness.Originally aired: November, 2021This episode of Weird Darkness moves from the haunted ground of H.H. Holmes' Chicago Murder Castle to a flesh-eating Japanese yokai, a millionaire's impossible vanishing at sea, an Oklahoma exorcism that ended in murder, a violent Welsh poltergeist, the real-world practice of shrinking human heads, and the Washington State drug cult led by a man who claimed to be God.It opens in Chicago's Englewood neighborhood, where Herman W. Mudgett — better known as H.H. Holmes, America's first serial killer and the inspiration for the Hotel Cortez in American Horror Story: Hotel — built his three-story "World's Fair Hotel" at 63rd and Wallace to prey on visitors to the 1893 Columbian Exposition. The building held sixty rooms riddled with trap doors, hidden staircases, gas chambers, and a basement furnished with a dissecting table and vats of acid and lime. Holmes confessed to 27 murders before his hanging in Philadelphia on May 7, 1896, though some historians put his victim count at 200 or more, and the strange deaths that followed his execution — a poisoned forensics expert, a suicidal prison superintendent, a priest beaten to death in his own churchyard — fed talk of a Holmes curse for decades. The site was never excavated, and employees at the Englewood post office built beside the old Castle property still report stacking chairs, a singing woman no one can find, and apparitions on the grass where the hotel once stood. Even Holmes' own descendant, Jeff Mudgett, author of Bloodstains and the figure behind the History Channel's American Ripper, walked out of that basement a changed man.From there the episode crosses to Japan and the legend of Tenome, a blind old man robbed and beaten to death in a field who returned as a vengeful yokai with eyes on the palms of his hands. First recorded in the Gazu Hyakki Yagyō, the creature hunts graveyards and open fields by scent, feeds on fresh human bones, and inspired the Pale Man of Pan's Labyrinth. The segment ends with the Kyoto tale of a young man who hid from the Tenome inside a locked temple chest — and was found afterward as an empty sack of skin, his bones sucked out through his flesh.Next comes the 1931 disappearance of Hisashi Fujimura, the Japanese-born silk millionaire who vanished from the Red Star liner Belgenland somewhere between Halifax and New York on the night of August 13. Fujimura had told a friend he feared gamblers would follow him aboard, his mistress Mary Reissner was registered under a false name as a governess, and his bank account had dropped from over $333,000 to $2.65 in five months. The ship's captain saw him talking to an unseen person at 2:45 a.m.; by morning his bed was unslept-in and his seven-year-old daughter was alone in the stateroom. Federal investigators closed the case without answers, a dust-free wallet bearing his name later surfaced in an empty Manhattan flat, and Fujimura was declared legally dead in 1938 — leaving murder, suicide, accident, and a staged escape all equally possible.The darkness turns domestic with the 2016 killing of 33-year-old Geneva Gomez in Oklahoma City, beaten to death by her own mother, Juanita Gomez, who claimed she was performing an exorcism to drive Satan from her daughter. Juanita punched Geneva repeatedly, forced a crucifix and religious medallion down her throat, then arranged the body in the shape of a cross with a wooden crucifix on her chest. A forensic psychologist concluded she was feigning incompetence, the insanity plea collapsed, and in January 2018 a jury needed only 20 minutes to convict her of first-degree murder and recommend life without parole.The episode then travels to Rhondda Street in Swansea, Wales, where in 1965 Marcia and David Howells, their two small children, and Marcia's grandmother endured a poltergeist that began with choking sensations in the night and escalated to bottles flying off mantelpieces, rooms ransacked in minutes, the gas stove turning itself on, and a double bed found hurled on top of the baby's empty cot behind a barred door. Police, reporters, and a priest all came to the little house; the only room ever left untouched was the grandmother's. The family finally moved out, the activity stopped, and no tragedy in the home's history was ever found to explain it — leaving psychokinesis, spirit attachment, and Marcia's own verdict, a demon, on the table.From haunted houses the show turns to a practice that is grimly real: the shrunken heads, or tsantsas, of the Jivaro people of northern Peru and southern Ecuador. Warriors severed the heads of slain enemies in the belief that shrinking them enslaved the victim's vengeful spirit, then boiled the skin free of the skull, packed it with hot stones and sand, blackened it with charcoal ash, and sewed the lips shut to seal the spirit inside — reducing a human head to a third of its size.

The five leading candidates in the Democratic primary for New York's 12th Congressional District in Manhattan squared off this week in a spirited debate hosted by NY1, seeking to draw sharp contrasts ahead of Election Day. The debate was moderated by NY1's Errol Louis, WNYC host Brian Lehrer and WNYC senior political reporter Brigid Bergin. Bergin joined "You Decide" to discuss the behind-the-scenes decisions that shaped the debate, including the need to focus on a handful of key federal issues such as the state of the Democratic Party, affordability, Israel and healthcare. They also assessed the candidates' performances, examined who gained the most from the debate, and highlighted important questions that didn't make it to the stage.

This is a Vintage episode from 2005.The Restaurant Guys welcome chef-owner Liza Queen of Queen's Hideaway, a tiny Greenpoint restaurant where the menu changed with the market, the farmers, the smoker, and whatever was left in the kitchen by the end of the week.Why This Episode MattersLiza Queen explains how Queen's Hideaway built its menu around farmers, Greenmarket shopping, small quantities of meat, and improvisation.The episode captures a very specific moment in Brooklyn dining, before “market-driven neighborhood restaurant” became a polished concept.Liza talks honestly about the chaos of running a small restaurant: tiny kitchen, no air conditioning, long hours, broken equipment, landlord issues, and sudden press attention.The Guys connect Queen's Hideaway to a larger idea: great food does not need pretense, luxury, or a white-tablecloth.The conversation is a snapshot of a restaurant that became a cult favorite by cooking personally, affordably, and very much in the moment.BanterMark and Francis begin with a conversation about fine dining, New Jersey, and the complicated blessing of being so close to New York. They talk about what separates true hospitality from restaurant theater: a warm welcome, good service, and the feeling that the experience is being created for the guest.The ConversationThe Restaurant Guys welcome Liza Queen, chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. Liza explains that the restaurant does not really have a set menu because the cooking depends on what she can get from farmers, what meats are available, and what shows up at the Greenmarket. What sounds like a concept is, in her telling, mostly survival: if the restaurant runs out of one thing, she cooks the next best thing.Liza talks about moving back east after cooking in Portland, where she felt limited by diners who were less adventurous than she wanted to be. In Brooklyn, she opened what she imagined as a neighborhood place, only to find people coming from Manhattan, upstate, and even New Jersey after early press and word of mouth spread. The restaurant is tiny, informal, and very personal, with a front-of-house and kitchen team made up largely of friends she describes as imported family.The conversation moves through smoked meats, Wonderbread, broken ice cream makers, root vegetables, and the daily anxiety of building a menu from what the market provides. Liza is funny, humble, and matter-of-fact about the work: 8 a.m. to after midnight, six days a week, in a small kitchen with a very big personality.After the interview, Mark and Francis reflect on why Queen's Hideaway resonated. For them, the point is not trendiness or thrift alone; it is food cooked thoughtfully, with excellent ingredients, without snobbery. The episode becomes a defense of the finer things in life at every price point, from a serious restaurant meal to a great hot dog, a real waffle with ice cream, or a neighborhood place that simply cooks what it has and does it well.Timestamps0:00 Fine dining, New Jersey, and what makes hospitality feel gracious6:15  Liza Queen joins the show and explains the no-set-menu approach8:00 Liza's experience and desire to open a place on the East Coast15:00 Smoking meat, winter cooking, Wonderbread, pies, and the tiny kitchen reality21:30 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentious29:00 Why great food does not have to be expensive or pretentiousBioLiza Queen was the chef-owner of Queen's Hideaway in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, a small, market-driven restaurant known for its changing menu, smoked meats, pies, and fiercely personal cooking.

When a person needs something and cannot figure out any way to obtain it, that simply means that from a hishtadlut standpoint, his primary responsibility is to ask Hashem for help. We are only required to make a physical effort when there is a reasonable effort to make. If there is none, then we are exempt from that obligation and can place our full reliance on Hashem. Just because we do not see a solution does not mean one does not exist. It only means that Hashem has not allowed us to see it yet. Hashem has a solution to every problem. When we truly understand that, we are able to pray with genuine emunah. Hashem wants to help us. Hashem is available to help us. But we need to believe that and sincerely ask Him for help. A man told me that he and his wife had been trying to travel to Israel together since before COVID. Every time they made plans, something came up that prevented the trip from happening. In recent years, his income had dropped significantly, and with the rising cost of airfare, the trip had become completely unaffordable. His wife had been patiently waiting for years, and he had told her that by this summer he would do everything possible to make it happen. As the summer approached, he realized it was impossible. Even if his income suddenly improved, any extra money would have to be used to pay off debts that he owed. He saw how much his wife wanted to go, and it pained him that he could not provide it for her. He prayed to Hashem from the depths of his heart. "Hashem," he said, "I have no conventional way of purchasing these tickets. But I know that You can provide them in the blink of an eye. Please help me." A couple of days later, his wife, who works as a shadchanit, told him that a family for whom she had recently arranged a shidduch wanted to give her a gift. In addition to paying her generously, they offered her two airline tickets to Israel to attend the wedding of another child they were marrying off that summer. The tickets appeared completely out of nowhere. Hashem had sent them exactly what they needed. The man told me, "I always read stories like this. Now I am so happy that I get to be part of one." Another man told me that he received a call from his supplier informing him that two pallets of merchandise were about to be delivered in Manhattan and that he needed to be there to accept them. The timing could not have been worse. It was Friday afternoon, and he was preparing to leave early for Shabbat. All of his employees had already left, and there was nobody available to help unload the shipment. When he stepped outside, the truck had just arrived. Miraculously, there was an open spot directly in front of his building. The truck driver asked, "Who is going to unload these pallets?" The man replied that he would try to do it himself. In truth, it was impossible. The job required multiple people, and the truck driver informed him that he only had twenty minutes before he would have to leave. The man looked at the pallets and realized there was absolutely no way he could get the job done. He turned to Hashem and said, "I don't know how this can happen, but I know You can make it happen. Please help me." Less than thirty seconds later, a large, strong man tapped him on the shoulder and asked, "Do you have any work available?" It was as if Hashem had sent a malach. The man immediately got to work, and together they unloaded the entire shipment just in time. Hashem can always help us. Hashem loves helping us. The problem is not that He lacks solutions. The problem is that we often convince ourselves there are no solutions because we cannot see them. When we reach the point where we have exhausted every possibility and can think of no way forward, that is not necessarily a sign that hope is gone. Sometimes it is Hashem inviting us to stop relying on our own understanding and start relying on Him. Very often, the yeshuah is already on its way. We simply have not seen it yet. As Chazal teach, before Hashem creates the problem, He prepares the cure. By the time we discover the challenge, Hashem has already arranged the solution. Our task is to believe that, pray with sincerity, and trust that the One who created the problem certainly knows how to solve it.

With the NBA Finals tied heading into game four, Kap puts the pressure squarely on the Knicks while Sedano stands by his pick that San Antonio is the more talented team. The Jalen Brunson conversation heats up with eye-opening numbers, including his 1,590 dribbles this series compared to 800 for De'Aaron Fox, and Josh Hart telling Sedano the Knicks need to get him off the ball. Brian Windhorst joins for Windy Wednesday and says if the Knicks win tonight, New York can start planning the parade. Windy also shares stories from his wild Finals week, including a late-night ride across Manhattan with Jeremy Lin and Iman Shumpert. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Myopia Movies, we put on the mask, stare into the abyss, and then complain about the lighting. We dust off a paywall episode this week as we watch Watchmen—the most philosophical superhero movie ever made, or at least the one most likely to assign you homework afterward. Join us as we unpack a world where superheroes are less “save the day” and more “deeply complicate geopolitics.” We wrestle with questions like: Is Rorschach a moral absolutist… or just the world's angriest inkblot? How does Dr. Manhattan make omnipotence feel like a midlife crisis? And is Ozymandias the smartest man alive—or just really good at PowerPoint presentations with catastrophic consequences? We dive into Zack Snyder's ultra-stylized adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons' legendary graphic novel, debating whether it captures the spirit of the original—or just lovingly recreates it in slow motion. Also: we try to determine if any superhero team has ever had worse workplace chemistry, and whether the giant blue nudist is actually the least weird part of this movie. Want to pick a movie we do an episode on and record a special commentary just for you? Purchase something from our wish list!  We are riffers on Cineprov! Check us out!! How will Watchmen hold up?

The uncovered emails show that the son of a Democratic senator had direct communication with Jeffrey Epstein and at one point expressed interest in bringing Epstein into his investment fund. The exchanges suggest that Epstein was viewed as a valuable financial contact, with the senator's son indicating he enjoyed their discussions and saw potential benefit in a professional relationship. The tone of the correspondence portrays Epstein not as a pariah, but as someone still welcomed in elite financial and social circles even after his prior legal issues were publicly known.The revelations raise broader questions about how deeply Epstein remained embedded within influential networks despite his criminal history. The emails illustrate a willingness among well-connected individuals to overlook or compartmentalize his past in favor of access to his wealth, connections, or perceived financial acumen. Critics argue this reflects a larger pattern in which Epstein continued to maintain legitimacy and influence among powerful figures long after his initial conviction, reinforcing concerns about systemic failures to isolate him from positions of power and access.The emails don't just show casual contact—they expose a glaring contradiction between public posture and private behavior. Senator Ron Wyden has built much of his political identity around oversight, accountability, and holding powerful actors to account, yet the correspondence involving his son paints a very different picture operating behind the scenes. While Epstein had already been exposed as a serial abuser with a deeply troubling criminal history, Wyden's son was reportedly exploring ways to bring him into an investment fund and openly expressing that he enjoyed their conversations. That isn't passive association or accidental overlap—it reflects a willingness to engage, network, and potentially profit from a man whose reputation should have made him untouchable. When that kind of proximity exists within the orbit of a sitting U.S. senator who regularly speaks about justice and institutional integrity, it raises serious questions about whether those principles are applied consistently or selectively.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Dem senator's son sought investment from Epstein at Manhattan mansion in 2016 | Fox NewsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Jeffrey Epstein owned multiple properties in Colorado, including a large ranch near Edwards and a mansion in Aspen, yet there was never a known state or local criminal investigation into his activities there while he was alive. Despite extensive scrutiny of his conduct in Florida, New York, New Mexico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, Colorado authorities did not publicly pursue charges, execute high-profile searches, or announce formal inquiries related to trafficking or abuse tied to his residences in the state. Law enforcement agencies in Colorado have stated in the past that they did not receive actionable complaints during the period when Epstein maintained homes there, even as allegations elsewhere were mounting.The absence of a Colorado investigation has drawn criticism from observers who question whether Epstein's wealth, social connections, and low-profile presence in the region contributed to a lack of scrutiny. Unlike in Palm Beach or Manhattan, where documented victim reports triggered investigative action, no comparable prosecutorial effort materialized in Colorado before Epstein's 2019 arrest in New York. As a result, questions remain about whether any potential misconduct tied to his Colorado properties was ever examined in depth, or whether the state simply never received complaints that would have compelled formal action.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Police say feds never contacted them about Epstein's Vail property | VailDaily.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

My special guest on this episode is none other than my friend who shares a name with one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time — but this is definitely not Tom Brady, the NFL legend. No touchdowns on the field here, but plenty in the investment sales game.   Tom Brady & I first met almost two decades ago at what was once known as Town Real Estate, here in the same office we're in today on 5th Avenue & 17th Street. Fast forward to today: Tom was recently a Managing Director at BKREA (BK Real Estate Advisors), run by Bob Knakal, also a friend of the pod, and has since transitioned to Douglas Elliman Commercial.    With nearly two decades in the NYC commercial real estate trenches, Tom specializes in Manhattan's mixed-use and multifamily investment sales. He's been closing major deals, including the Friars Club, a historic elevator building spanning 15K square feet across six floors with 33 feet of frontage, offering stunning architecture and flexible potential for private club, hospitality, embassy, or luxury residential use. The club in its heyday boasted members including Johnny Carson, Jimmy Fallon, and Joan Rivers, and was known for its comedy roasts of showbiz legends.    From navigating interest rates and office recovery to spotting opportunities in an evolving market, Tom brings that street-level expertise and war stories you don't want to miss.   Please give Tom a follow on IG @TVBNYC  

On this week's episode of Talking New York Real Estate, Vince sits down with Brown Harris Stevens' broker, Matthew Melinger and Daniel Boatman of Compass, to discuss the mental health strategies, the boundaries, the routines, and sometimes the very human struggles that no one sees.

Noah and John sit down with Nadia Bartolucci of Douglas Elliman — leader of the #1 sales team in Brooklyn, a top 10 Elliman team nationwide, and a Wall Street Journal Top 250 team with nearly $1B in sales. This one is all about Brooklyn: luxury, inventory, bidding wars, boutique new development, and why the borough has officially become a destination in its own right. Nadia breaks down why Brooklyn luxury now parallels Manhattan, why renters are getting pushed into serious buyer mode, and why tight inventory is making the right listings move fast — often at or above ask. She also gets into how she prices resale vs. new development, what concessions buyers can still ask for, why agent relationships matter in bidding wars, and how she built a small-but-mighty team that developers trust. Topics in this episode: • Brooklyn luxury as a destination, not an alternative • Rental bidding wars and renter fatigue • Why buyers are desperate to plant roots in Brooklyn • Boutique new development vs. large amenity buildings • Transfer taxes, sponsor fees, and concessions • Brooklyn's tight supply-demand gap • Pricing resale vs. sponsor/new development product • Buyer strategy in competitive Brooklyn bidding wars • Why listing-agent intel can make or break a deal • Building relationships across the brokerage community • Breaking into boutique new development • Advising developers on floor plans, staging, pricing, and design • Running a small, accountable, high-performing team • Nadia's advice: say yes, work hard, and believe Nadia Bartolucci at Douglas Elliman: https://www.elliman.com/agent/nadia-bartolucci/1029593 The Bartolucci Team: https://www.elliman.com/team/the-bartolucci-team/226533 Nadia's Socials: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nadia-bartolucci-237170a2/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nmbarto Stay Connected: Noah's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/noah-rosenblatt-b9b17815 John's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-walkup2/ Website: https://www.urbandigs.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/urbandigs_nyc X: https://x.com/UrbanDigs Email: hello@urbandigs.com Key Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction 0:47 – Brooklyn Luxury Is No Longer an Alternative 1:25 – Rental Bidding Wars in Prime Brooklyn 2:10 – Rental Fatigue & the Push Toward Buying 3:35 – Brooklyn Quality of Life, Green Space & Restaurant Energy 4:45 – Large New Development vs. Boutique Brooklyn Product 6:15 – Concessions in a Tight Inventory Market 8:00 – Brooklyn's New Development Pipeline 9:15 – Pricing Strategy for Resale Sellers 11:00 – Pricing New Development Against Developer Underwriting 12:00 – Brooklyn Buyer Strategy in Bidding Wars 12:45 – Calling the Listing Agent for Seller Intel 14:15 – Why Agent Relationships Matter 15:15 – Breaking Into Boutique New Development 17:15 – Why Honesty Wins With Developers 18:45 – Running a Small but Mighty Team 22:15 – Advice: “Never Say No” and Bet on Yourself 24:15 – Why Brooklyn's Mix Is Hard to Replicate With over $900M in listings priced, top NYC agents rely on UrbanDigs Advisor for independent pricing intelligence.

Una médica salió de compras en Manhattan el 10 de septiembre de 2001 y jamás volvió a aparecer. Las cámaras de seguridad la captaron tranquila, recorriendo tiendas a pocas cuadras del World Trade Center, horas antes del atentado más impactante de la historia moderna. Después del colapso de las Torres Gemelas, la doctora Sneha Anne Philip desapareció sin dejar rastros.  Mientras su familia creía que murió ayudando víctimas en la Zona Cero, la policía descubrió una vida marcada por conflictos personales, problemas laborales y una posible crisis emocional. Con el paso de los años, el caso quedó atrapado entre dos teorías imposibles de comprobar: una médica heroica enterrada bajo los escombros… o una mujer que aprovechó el caos del 11-S para desaparecer para siempre.

How safe is New York City? Retired FBI supervisory special agent, former New York SWAT leader, and FOX News contributor James Gagliano analyzes the largest threats to Manhattan following a violent stabbing attack inside Penn Station last weekend. He discusses the heightened security concerns as the city hosts Game 4 of the NBA Finals adjacent to Penn Station. James explains why major events, such as New Year's Eve in Times Square and NBA games, are actually some of the safest times to be in the surrounding areas. Additionally, he touches on the safety of drones during these events and discusses how the U.S. should regulate these highly technical devices. Learn more about your ad choices.

Dr. Mark Grether, SVP and General Manager of PayPal Ads, joins Phillip from PayPal's Manhattan offices to argue that the merchant storefront is migrating off owned websites and into LLMs. This may make the mechanics of customer experience and loyalty a bit murky, but Mark explains how PayPal's "transaction graph,”  built on real purchases across 30 million merchants and 400 million consumers, acts as the deterministic identity layer that the post-cookie ad world has been missing.  We also cover the evolving world of commerce media, from zero-click commerce and CTV attribution to PayPal Ads' newest product, Storefront Ads, which transforms the creative into the checkout.  The Cart Cartographer Key takeaways: Consumers now start product discovery on LLMs, not search engines or merchant sites. PayPal's transaction graph spans 30M merchants and 400M consumers, representing real purchases, not just clicks. Deterministic payment identity beats cookies and probabilistic IDs for cross-channel attribution. Storefront Ads turn any ad into a one-click, pre-populated checkout. Creators run two businesses: generating consumer data, then monetizing it. [00:04:03] "We're not just seeing behavior, we're actually seeing the real transactions. We know what people are purchasing — not whether they search for something or browse for something. We actually see what they are buying." – Mark Grether [00:11:00] "The trick about our identity is it was built from a finance perspective, meaning I need to understand that you are you and not your twin brother. Our identity has to clear a much higher bar compared to probabilistic IDs or cookies." – Mark Grether [00:13:40] "The idea of Storefront Ads is that the creative itself becomes the shop. You're getting exposed to the sneakers, and with one click, you can actually make the purchase. We already know who you are, we know your bank account, we know your address — everything is pre-populated. From a consumer perspective, it becomes super easy to finish a transaction."

I’ve been watching Matt Koff’s new comedy special Cat Man all week — it’s out now on YouTube — and this week I got to talk with Matt about it. He’s an Emmy-winning Daily Show writer and the winner of New York’s Funniest Standup 2023. We talked about the cultural discomfort around men who love cats, and the very real divide Matt has clocked between Manhattan audiences (who think men with cats are weird) and Brooklyn audiences (who emphatically do not). As a fellow middle-aged cat dad, I related more than I’d like to admit. We also got into how Cat Man came together: self-financed, shot in two shows on a single night at the Comedy Cellar, and made with a crew of longtime Daily Show colleagues who transformed the Village Underground into something out of David Lynch by way of The Muppet Show. And we talked about the shift from being angry about not being famous to being relieved about it — a turn that, for Matt, has a lot to do with the grease stains on his shirts. Matt Koff is a Brooklyn-based stand-up and Emmy-winning TV writer who has been at The Daily Show for 13 years. His debut comedy album, Who’s My Little Guy?, is out on 800 Pound Gorilla Records, and he’s written for The Onion and the Trevor Noah-hosted White House Correspondents’ Dinner. Be sure to check out the bonus conversation with Matt dropping on Patreon! Find it here on my Patreon page. You can find Matt at mattkoff.net and at mattkoff.substack.com.

In this extensive episode of the Off the Screen basketball podcast, hosts Jordon, Alejandro, Sid, and Michael engage in a passionate, long-form discussion centered around the massive cultural, economic, and analytical storm of the ongoing NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Michael kicks off the conversation by detailing his firsthand experiences on the ground in a completely transformed New York City, describing the atmosphere as mirroring a massive, city-wide New Year's Eve or Mardi Gras celebration on a standard Monday night. Watch parties are drawing tens of thousands of sports fans and casual viewers alike to public venues like Bryant Park and Central Park, demonstrating how a competitive Knicks team is actively uniting disparate communities across the five boroughs. This immense fandom has translated into an incredible economic windfall, generating an estimated $465 million in local economic activity, though the hosts lament the chaotic local side effects, such as crowded standing-room-only bars and hidden, inflated menu prices resulting in $20 margaritas.The defining spectacle of the series, however, remains the unprecedented logistical nightmare of a sitting U.S. President attending the Finals game at Madison Square Garden. The hosts break down the sheer operational madness this political visit imposed on Manhattan's infrastructure, which sits directly on top of the second busiest transit hub in North America. They discuss TSA-style street checkpoints, rigid bag bans, early building lockouts forcing workers to arrive hours ahead of schedule, and gridlock that completely paralyzed train routes and subway commuter lines connecting Jersey, Long Island, and the northern suburbs. While Sid considers the raw concept of a presidential appearance historic, Jordon brings up De'Aaron Fox's blunt remarks labeling the event a massive public inconvenience. The hosts also comment on courtside "Celebrity Row," highlighting appearances by prominent figures like Michael Bloomberg, Derek Jeter, Eli Manning, and Spike Lee. They share a laugh over a viral moment where Kings guard Jose Alvarado accidentally crashed into billionaire Bloomberg, before pivoting to mock DJ Khaled for aggressively clout-chasing and staring at his mobile phone instead of watching the action.As the podcast shifts into structural hoops analytics, the conversation evolves into a heavy debate regarding high-stakes officiating and coaching philosophy. The group critiques the foul trouble that plagued high-leverage moments in Game 3, criticizing coaching staffs for overly resting star players due to early whistles instead of letting them play through physical defensive stands. They dissect a highly controversial, uncalled push by Victor Wembanyama on Jalen Brunson, noting how a lopsided free-throw margin in the second half ultimately swung the fourth-quarter momentum. Looking at organizational legacies, Jordon raises the stakes by arguing that Wembanyama's historic ceiling gives him a legitimate, long-term opportunity to rival or even eclipse Tim Duncan's legendary Spurs legacy, while also expressing confidence in young coach Mitch Johnson's ability to fill the massive footsteps left by Gregg Popovich. Concluding with concrete predictions, Alejandro admits he initially underestimated the Knicks' true postseason dominance. Ultimately, the crew identifies Karl-Anthony Towns playing at a clear Finals MVP level as the definitive game-changer of the series, before mapping out a final transit warning: Michael desperately hopes the series concludes before a potential Game 6, which directly conflicts with a massive World Cup soccer match (France vs. Senegal) at MetLife Stadium, threatening to completely shut down Penn Station and isolate the city.

The city is expanding free childcare for two-year-olds this fall. Will that actually convince New York parents to grow their families, though? WNYC reporter Karen Yi tells us about parents who have been going into debt, leaving the workforce, and rethinking second kids while waiting for the city's childcare promises to catch up.

“I never knew, and I was a bright kid. I didn't know who the mayor of New York was, but I could tell you the names of all the mafia guys on the corner.” — Vincent Coppola So we finally found a Coppola for the show. No, not Francis Ford. But somebody just as cool and even more authentic. The longtime Newsweek reporter Vincent Coppola grew up in Brooklyn three subway stops from Manhattan, but never went there until he was a teenager, nor even visited Central Park until his twenties. Coppola's version of Brooklyn, a teeming Italian ghetto squeezed between the banks of the polluted Gowanus Canal, no longer exists. Except in his exquisitely rendered new memoir, Gowanus Crossing: A Brooklyn Boyhood, which has the most delicious story about an Easter pie recipe you'll ever read. The Brooklyn of Vinnie's childhood was intact, insular, cut off from everywhere more than three stops away. It had its own government — the Mafia; its own religion — the Catholic Church; its own poisoned geography — the Gowanus Canal. A world inside a world. He didn't know who the mayor of New York was, but he knew the name of every wise guy on every street corner. To a kid, Gowanus was a magical place. The grown Vinnie (now called Vincent), having crossed his own Rubicon to attend Columbia journalism school, describes it as a “toxic snow globe.” Brooklyn über alles. Or, more authentically, al primo posto. Especially now, when only a real Coppola can resurrect it. Five Takeaways •       A Toxic Snow Globe: Cut Off Three Stops from Manhattan: Coppola grew up in an Italian enclave on the Gowanus Canal — a waterway that was, unbeknownst to its residents, one of the most polluted in America. The community was so insular that Coppola — a bright, bookish kid — never went to Manhattan until he was a teenager, never visited Central Park until he was in his twenties, though he was three subway stops away. He knew the names of all the Mafia guys on the corner. He did not know who the mayor of New York was. A toxic snow globe: its own rules, its own government, its own religion. Intact and entirely cut off from the rest of the world. •       The Mafia as Shadow Government: The Mafia was not background colour in Coppola's childhood. It was the actual government. Police from the 78th Precinct pulled up to the social club on Sundays; officers walked in and walked out with brown paper bags full of cash. Squad cars ferried a hitman — the bodyguard of Carmine Persico — as if they were taxis. This corrupted any childlike innocence about institutions. The stereotype of the nice policeman, the honest cop, the beloved priest: none of them applied. Because they were poor, nobody cared. Nobody cared about the canal being polluted until real estate people came in. •       The Predatory Priest and the Code of Silence: A local priest molested altar boys for decades, including Coppola's best friend. Nobody in the community knew. Coppola's observation: if the Mafia had known, they would have killed that man. It would have been that simple. Two oppressive codes of silence — the Mafia's omertà and the Church's own silence — operated in parallel. One protected criminals who were also community pillars. The other protected a predator. The community was too poor, too preoccupied, too isolated to see what was happening in front of their eyes. •       The Easter Pie Recipe: A Story About Secrets and Mothers: One of the great set pieces of the book. Coppola was obsessed throughout his life with a specific Easter pastry — pizza di grano, a grain pie — that the old neighbourhood women made and would not share the recipe for. He worked for Newsweek, had access to chefs everywhere, could not reproduce it. At his mother's funeral, an old neighbour pressed a piece of paper into his hand. Weeks later he found it in his jacket pocket and opened it. Not cash — the recipe. Written in Italian. Beginning: “under a full moon.” It was a hundred years old. He wasn't going to be baking under full moons. •       The Ghost Town: A Million-Dollar Desert: Coppola returned to Gowanus three weeks before the interview, invited to speak at a public library. His neighbourhood was blooming with skyscrapers and condominiums. And it was dead silent. When he grew up, the streets were teeming — children playing hopscotch, women gossiping on chairs outside, music, grilling on the corner, betting. He came back to a million-dollar ghost town. It broke his heart. The people he grew up with had been driven out — priced out of the place where they belonged. That is the elegy the book is writing. He hopes he preserved the best of that world. About the Guest Vincent Coppola is a journalist and the author of six books. A former reporter at Newsweek, he has written for Esquire, Rolling Stone, Men's Journal, and Atlanta magazine. He is a 1977 honours graduate of the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. His essay on his mother's battle with cancer won the William Allen White Gold Medal. He is the author of Gowanus Crossing: A Brooklyn Boyhood (Henry Holt, June 9, 2026). He lives in Savannah, Georgia. References: •       Gowanus Crossing: A Brooklyn Boyhood by Vincent Coppola (Henry Holt, June 9, 2026). •       Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes — the publisher's comparison: “Frank McCourt's gimlet eye with the exuberant menace of a Scorsese movie.” •       Carmine Persico — the mafioso boss referenced in the conversation; his bodyguard is a character in the book. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen. In Keen On America, Andrew brings his pointed Transatlantic wit to making sense of the United States — hosting daily interviews about the history and future of this now venerable Republic.

Today's Headlines: Trump attended the Knicks game last night, shutting down a 10-block radius around Madison Square Garden to sit with owner James Dolan and the usual suspects of administration figures — all of whom got to watch their boss get booed louder than the Spurs during the National Anthem. Trump spent the next morning posting at 5am that Israel and Iran must stop "shooting", which neither country is taking seriously given that strikes continued yesterday despite him reportedly calling Netanyahu directly to ask him to stop — again. Meanwhile, Spencer Pratt officially lost the LA mayoral race to progressive Nithya Raman, who will face Karen Bass in November, and Trump responded by claiming without evidence that "two republicans are being cheated" in California, using the state's slow vote-counting as cover to pre-seed election fraud claims — a preview of his midterm strategy. In other news, five cases of flesh-eating New World screwworm have now been confirmed across Texas and New Mexico, with the USDA building a $750 million sterile fly factory in Texas to combat it, while RFK Jr. — according to multiple colleagues — has shown "little interest in managing the details of his department" and is instead hunting for evidence that vaccines are harmful, receiving almost no Ebola briefings, and leaving nearly half of NIH's 27 institutes without permanent directors. The Pentagon accidentally deleted Mormons from its approved religion list, added them back after Senator Mike Lee lost his mind, then failed to classify them as Christians — a three-step own goal that somehow happened in one week. And OpenAI filed its IPO paperwork with the SEC, becoming the third trillion-dollar AI company to go public after Anthropic and SpaceX, in what was described in an unsigned blog post as something they're announcing only because "we expect it to leak" — which is a strange way to announce a trillion-dollar IPO.
