A federal judge has denied Mayor Eric Adams' request to dismiss a bribery charge in his five-count indictment, ruling it's up to a jury to decide if he broke the law. Meanwhile, more than 30,000 CUNY faculty and staff could see raises and bonuses under a new agreement awaiting union approval. Also, Bryant Park's Winter Village is sparking fierce debate online as some New Yorkers call it a “tourist-filled nightmare.” Finally, the city's real estate lobby is suing to block a ruling that shifts broker fee costs onto landlords. WNYC's David Brand has the latest.

O Papai Noel pode até ter suas origens no Polo Norte, mas foi em Nova York que ele fez sua morada. A decoração cuidadosamente pensada, com pinheiros iluminados nos principais parques da cidade e vitrines especialmente enfeitadas nesta época do ano, deixa claro que a cidade é a terra do Natal. Luciana Rosa, correspondente da RFI em Nova YorkCom o início de dezembro, começa oficialmente a temporada de festas. A inauguração das luzes da tradicional árvore de Natal do Rockefeller Center e também do pinheiro instalado no coração da cidade, no Bryant Park, na semana passada, são o pontapé inicial.Há 12 anos acontece no Bryant Park uma feira de inverno ao ar livre, bem ao estilo dos mercadinhos de Natal europeus, chamada Winter Village (vila de inverno).Com cerca de 170 postos de venda ao ar livre, a feira atrai turistas e nova-iorquinos interessados em decoração natalina, presentes, lembrancinhas ou apenas em um bom chocolate quente para amenizar as baixas temperaturas.Um dos produtos mais populares são as divertidas sacolas de pano que trazem mensagens que refletem o espírito da cidade. A que traz a mensagem “Você não é um verdadeiro nova-iorquino até você aprender a andar depressa” ficou famosa nas redes sociais."Há muitas pessoas aqui que vêm de várias partes do mundo, muitos turistas internacionais, então é muito divertido. Eles ficam empolgados com nossas bolsas e sacolas, e geralmente dão boas risadas lendo as mensagens enquanto escolhem o que levar para casa para os amigos e familiares", conta Jensen Wheeler-Wolf, que trabalha no quiosque das sacolas.Originalmente de Chicago, Jensen concorda com a mensagem de que não é fácil seguir o ritmo de Nova York. "A competição aqui é alta, o nível é alto, então as habilidades precisam ser altas. É empolgante. Alguém me disse uma vez que, em Nova York, a pergunta não é 'o que você fez ultimamente', mas sim 'o que você vai fazer agora'. Esse é o novo mantra", explica a comerciante.Anualmente, mais de 12 milhões de pessoas passam pelo Bryant Park.De acordo com o CEO do banco que promove a atividade, somente na temporada de 2023, o mercado de Natal gerou cerca de 40 milhões de dólares em receita.Uma das propostas do mercado natalino de inverno é promover empresas locais de médio e pequeno porte. Eles têm a oportunidade de estar em uma localização privilegiada como o centro de Manhattan durante uma temporada alta de turismo.Existe até um concurso que seleciona quatro pequenos empreendedores para ocupar um dos quiosques da vila de forma gratuita por duas semanas cada um.GastronomíaEm se tratando de negócios, os quiosques de comida estão entre os mais buscados. Entre eles, o Strawberro tem uma das filas mais longas de espera por uma sobremesa que, como explica Teagan, é uma combinação de chocolate, pistache e outros ingredientes. "É algo como pistache, chocolate ao leite... nem sei exatamente o que mais tem, talvez pasta de pistache. É muito bom", diz.Ela e a amiga Resen, ambas de 17 anos, vieram de Ohio para passar as festas em Nova York e contam que estão na expectativa para a inauguração da árvore de Natal.No meio de muitas ofertas, um nome soa familiar, ainda que com uma grafia diferente. É a nossa coxinha, aqui escrita "Cosheenya".Alexandre Cavalcante, que é brasileiro e atende no quiosque de salgadinhos, conta que o movimento é muito grande, principalmente nos finais de semana e durante a hora do almoço.Ele explica que o pastel é o produto mais procurado. "Por causa dos latinos que temos aqui, eles têm as empanadas, e nós temos o nosso pastel. Se falamos 'pastel', eles entendem como bolo. Então eles compram bastante nossas empanadas, que são parecidas com as deles, mas as deles são assadas e as nossas são fritas". Cavalcante diz que as coxinhas também foram muito bem recebidas pelo público.Mas, a clientela não é formada apenas por brasileiros saudosos de seu país. Chelsea, que é portuguesa, veio atrás de churros recheados de doce de leite para o filho, que é metade colombiano. "Ele ama churros com doce de leite. É algo especial para ele", diz a turista.Patinar no gelo quase de graçaA Winter Village do Bryant Park tem início no final de outubro e se estende até o começo de março, mas o mercado de Natal encerra as atividades no início de janeiro (5).Uma das atrações principais é a pista de patinação no gelo de 1.500 metros quadrados, que pode ser usada de forma gratuita. Os turistas precisam gastar apenas com o aluguel do equipamento para patinar. Ela fica aberta até meia-noite durante os finais de semana.Cena presente em muitos filmes de Natal realizados em Nova York, a patinação no gelo abre a noite de estreia oficial da vila.Na pista, profissionais do esporte se misturam com patinadores infantis, como as meninas do Figure Skating in Harlem, e encantam o público presente no Bryant Park.Finalizado o espetáculo na pista, os olhos se voltam para a enorme árvore de Natal instalada ao fundo do parque. A iluminação do pinheiro indica que está aberta oficialmente a temporada de Natal em Nova York.

¿Pensando en viajar a Estados Unidos antes de que se termine el año? Perfecto. En noviembre, podrás disfrutar de los colores del otoño en su máximo esplendor y de las festividades por el Día de Acción de Gracias; en diciembre, de las temperaturas invernales, las luces y las fiestas navideñas.Si aún no te has decidido por ninguna ciudad en particular, toma en cuenta estas recomendaciones. Quizás alguna de ellas encaje con tus propósitos de viaje a suelo estadounidense.1- San Francisco, California: Esta ciudad es famosa por su puente Golden Gate, sus tranvías y su cultura diversa. En otoño, podrás disfrutar de un clima agradable, menos turistas y múltiples eventos. En invierno, podrás ver las luces navideñas, patinar sobre hielo y visitar el mercado de artesanías.2- Jackson Hole, Wyoming: Este lugar es un paraíso para los amantes de la naturaleza y los deportes de invierno. En otoño, podrás admirar el colorido follaje, ver la vida silvestre y hacer senderismo en el Parque Nacional Grand Teton. En invierno, podrás esquiar, hacer snowboard y pasear en trineo de perros en las montañas nevadas.3- Boston, Massachusetts: Esta ciudad es una de las más antiguas e históricas de Estados Unidos. En otoño, podrás recorrer el Freedom Trail, ver los edificios coloniales y probar el pastel de calabaza. En invierno, podrás disfrutar de las festividades navideñas.4- Nueva York: “La Gran Manzana” es una opción maravillosa para visitar en estas fechas. En diciembre, podrás ver el árbol de Navidad del Rockefeller Center, uno de los símbolos más emblemáticos de la ciudad; patinar sobre hielo en la pista aledaña al árbol, asistir a musicales en Broadway; irte de compras a los mercadillos navideños, como el Winter Village de Bryant Park y el Columbus Circle Holiday Market, y, por supuesto, visitar los sitios más icónicos de la urbe, como el Empire State Building, la Estatua de la Libertad y la Zona Cero, donde estaban las Torres Gemelas, por sólo citar algunos.En caso de que te apetezca disfrutar de un clima más “amigable”, bellas playas y vida nocturna, puedes optar por Miami, en el sur de Florida, donde las temperaturas son cálidas casi todo el año. Si, por el contrario, prefieres los deportes de invierno, el esquí y la nieve, entonces puedes escoger Salt Lake City, en Utah, o Breckenridge, en Colorado.Naturalmente, hay muchas otras ciudades estadounidenses dignas de visitar en otoño e invierno, pero estas son algunas de las más recomendadas por su belleza, opciones para el visitante y atractivos turísticos. Con independencia de la que elijas, ¡feliz viaje!

Visit: SpeakEnglishPodcast.com/courses and get my English programs at an exceptional price. Ok! Let's talk about Christmas markets in New York. What are you planning to do at Christmas? I recommend you fly to NYC because the best Christmas markets are here. New York's holiday markets often include ice skating, twinkling lights, great food vendors, and fun holiday activities. Plus, you can make your Christmas shopping a positive and relaxing experience.  Bryant Park's Winter Village You could start by visiting Bryant Park's Winter Village. One of the highlights of this market is the 17,000-square-foot ice skating rink, which is free to use if you bring your skates. FAD Market And after ice skating, you could visit the FAD Market. Each season, the FAD market – which stands for Fashion, Art, and Design – takes over a different Brooklyn venue with a bunch of independent vendors and creators. Here you'll find New York City's emerging brands, designers, and small businesses offering a curated selection of handmade jewelry, clothing, skincare, tableware, and much more. Columbus Circle Holiday Market And after all this activity, you should go to the Columbus Circle Holiday Market, which is one of the most iconic holiday markets. The uptown counterpart to the Union Square Holiday Market offers shoppers a feast for the eyes and the stomach. Are you having fun? Let's practice speaking with a fun mini-story. Mini-Story

Spiritfarer is described by its developer, Thunder Lotus Games, as "a cozy management game about dying." Charon, the legendary ferryman who takes departed souls across the River Styx, gives his duties to young Stella, who collects passengers and does all she can to fulfill their final wishes or long-time desires so they can travel to the afterlife in peace. Soundtrack composer Max LL says the ideas the developers shared with him about how their goal was to make a game in which death can become a comfortable topic, and connecting with unforgettable characters immediately hooked him. Max says many of the memorable characters Stella collects on her ever-expanding ship were inspired by family members and friends of the developers of the team, which gives them very three-dimentional personalities. The character of Alice has a special resonance with Max, and he says being able to take her to the Winter Village she always dreamed of visiting, and writing the music for that experience was

In Episode 87, your host Lee Uehara, shares two tips for entering the New Year - and Decade, 2020!  Listen in as Lee shares how to start out the Year of the Rat in way that is kind to yourself. *A shout-out to all the Rats! Before she gives you two fool-proof ways to feel great about yourself... Please do share the show with at least two other people – it's as easy as clicking the “Share” button within your favorite podcast app or directing folks to www.HouseOfLeeNYC.com. Thank you for allowing me to be part of your day. Tip Number One: Start 2020 out with clean clothes! It's as simple as doing your laundry. Tip Number Two: Go for a jog, a walk, something physical on January 1st. You know, start the new year with something healthy…and clean! These tips seem almost too simple, they're laughable, right? Well, Lee's point is that whatever you do, keep it short, new, simple and keeps you feeling good about yourself. Major Tip: It could be a simple as making your bed! Really. Listen in to hear Lee share how she makes her bed in under one minute – so easy anyone can do it! Again, the point is to take small steps to enter the new year instead of feeling down about not having done all those things you thought you were going to complete - there is still time! Oh, and if you're accepting of yourself, non-judgmental, don't do anything. Just say, “Hello Self! Welcome to 2020!” LOL. Reiterating: Do something that's new, small, takes less than an hour to do, perhaps something that's fun - and most definitely something that makes you feel good about yourself! And, here's a thought: If you always go drinking, try NOT doing that  - and enter the new year bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. Eh? Eh? [P.S. House of Lee NYC is on YouTube. Click HERE to see Lee in person. Sorta.] Show Mentions: NYRR Midnight Run – wowza! Tickets are $70…so find out what Lee recommends doing in lieu of registering for that four-mile run in Central Park. (Basically, show up early and just walk/run the route in the park because Central Park is still open to the public.) NYRR.org. Lee's Go-To Hot Spot: Bryant Park's Winter Village at West 42nd Street and Sixth Avenue in Manhattan. If you are going ice-skating, bring not one, but two locks because the lockers are tiny!

Host/Emcee your event - or record a live show at your function OR B). Photograph your business event or take care of your speaker photo needs Then, please do reach out to her for availability and portfolio viewing: lee@wleefm.com  or via phone at (212) 655-9840.

In this mini episode, we focus on Bryant Park Winter Village in Midtown Manhattan. The Winter Village opens October 31st and runs until January 5th. Be sure to follow us on social media to keep the conversation going. 

Last week I walked you through the history of the Guggenheim Museum to mark its 60th anniversary on October 21, 1959, and this week I wanted to point you to a podcast by 99% Invisible, a design and architecture podcast, which worked with the Guggenheim to produce a special audio walkthrough that talks about the history of the building and some of the art that has been displayed in the museum over the years. For instance, you may not have known that Frank Lloyd Wright initially intended for museum attendees to ride an elevator to the top of the building and experience the museum's exhibitions from top to bottom. Learn more about the Guggenheim at 99pi.org and listen to episode 375 of 99% Invisible while you tour the museum. — The Guggenheim Museum Opens on the Upper East Side A few more details this week on the observation deck at Hudson Yards that we talked about in Episode 13 of the podcast: The deck is the glass triangle jutting off the southeast corner of 30 Hudson Yards that the surrounding neighborhood lovingly referred to as a bird beak! The observation deck is called New York Edge and will be the highest observation deck in the western hemisphere at 1,131 feet above street level, surpassing both the observation deck at 1WTC and the former Sears Tower, but still falling far short of overseas marvels like Shenzhen's Ping An International Finance Centre's observation deck that is 700 feet higher. The most striking aspect is the glass floor section at the center of the triangle, offering a view straight down the side of 30 Hudson Yards. Walking to the tip of the triangle-shaped deck will offer views across the entire city, from the new skyscrapers lining Billionaire's Row, full views of the Empire State Building, and a look down the western side of Manhattan all the way to 1WTC. The deck won't open until March 2020, but tickets are already on sale at an introductory price of $36/person for a specific time or $56/person for a daily pass. If you're a New York resident, you can receive a few more dollars off the list price. Both prices are comparable to what you'll pay to rise above the city at One World Observatory or the Empire State Building's observation decks. — Living with a view like that doesn't come without a hefty price tag, either! In PropertyShark's latest data, Hudson Yards ranked as the most expensive neighborhood, pushed to the top by a slew of expensive new sales in newly-opened buildings. For the third quarter of 2019, Hudson Yards sailed past Tribeca to post a median sale price of $5 million — more than twice Tribeca's $2.4 million median price for the same time period. Since PropertyShark's ranking of expensive neighborhoods is based on real estate transactions that closed during each quarter, neighborhoods can jump up the list quite drastically, as was seen in this report when the Lower East Side made an appearance at #8 on the list, jumping up eight places, after a number of units were sold at 250 South Street, a massive 72 story tower that grew along the waterfront at the base of the Manhattan Bridge. Sales during the third quarter in that building alone had a median price of $1.6 million. While you're up on the new observation deck at Hudson Yards, bring a pair of binoculars and see if you can spot some new signage in Dumbo: The former glowing-red Watchtower sign that stood along the Brooklyn waterfront for nearly 50 years will now be replaced with a glowing-red Welcome sign. The architectural renderings show a slightly less ominous font than the Watchtower sign, but the new Welcome sign will still be displayed in bold letters and still feature the LED clock above the sign. The building was sold by the Jehovah's Witnesses for $340 million in 2016 and the new owners are redeveloping the site into a mixed-use complex named the Panorama, which will incorporate shopping and innovative outdoor public spaces. Interestingly, the website for the Panorama still features an earlier rendering of the replacement sign, where the word Panorama would be spelled out in a similar font to the Welcome sign which will now be installed. The Rockefeller Center ice rink recently opened, the Bryant Park rink will open in Winter Village after Halloween, but you may notice a difference at the Central Park rink this winter: After buildings along Riverside Boulevard removed the Trump name from their buildings, two ice-skating rinks in Central Park were some of the last remaining Trump branding in the city, but as skating began this year, the Trump name was covered over or replaced with a small footnote where there had previously been large red letters on the rink's walls. As the Washington Post reports, some of the signs have been amended with a small "Operated by the Trump Organization" note at the bottom, while the skate rental counter simply hung a tarp over the name. According to the Parks Department, the change was unexpected and was the decision of the Trump Organization, which will still run the rinks, but voluntarily decided to downplay their branding for the first time since the 1980s. Although the rinks are still officially named the Wollman and Lasker rinks, the branding is a result of Trump's real estate company aiding the city in completing the construction and renovation project in the 1980s. Skating at Wollman rink is open now at 62nd Street and costs between $12 and $19, and skating at Lasker rink at 110th Street opens on October 27th and costs $9. For a free option, head to Bryant Park or the Conservatory Water pond on the east side at 74th Street, where remote control boats float during the summer, but free ice skating is available once the ice freezes thick enough! If you're not ready to get in the winter mood and go ice skating just yet, keep an eye on our listing of Halloween events in the city! Coming up on Saturday, October 26: The Fort Greene Great PUPkin costume contest for dogs at 11am and the larger Fort Greene Halloween Festival from noon to 3pm. On Sunday, October 27: The Howl-o-Ween dog costume party in Riverside Park at 87th Street at noon. On Wednesday, October 30: The Halloween Pumpkin Floatilla in Central Park's Harlem Meer at 110th Street at 4pm.

Intro and outro music: 'Start the Day' by Lee Rosevere — Concert Calendar music from Jukedeck.com

A surprising development in the city's fight against billboard barges — The company floating the LED billboards in the waters around Manhattan has thrown in the towel after new state regulations pushed them back 1,500 feet from the shoreline. The advertising company promoting the billboard boats has now settled with the city and agreed to be subject to a $100,000 fine if they operate within New York waters. The barge will be relocated to Florida, where the company set up a similar barge along the Miami shoreline in 2016. The agreement with the city ends both the company's six-month fight with the city and the challenge they raised to the state law. As of October 11th, the company's website has been replaced with a generic image saying the site is down for maintenance. According to a presentation acquired by Digiday in January 2019, the company was touting their Hudson River and East River coverage to advertisers at the rate of $55,000 for a 30 second looping at on the banner boats, and they referenced the city's plan to continue developing the shoreline and the city's ferry system as reasons to advertise on LED billboard barges. 86 years ago on October 10, 1933 — A United Air Lines Boeing 247 from Newark, NJ exploded in what is believed to have been the first sabotage bombing of a commercial aircraft 56 years ago on October 14, 1963 — A New York Airways helicopter crashes just after takeoff from Idlewild (JFK) Airport, killing all six people aboard Double-check your speed if you're on the West Side Highway after October 12th — The city is dropping speeds from 35 to 30 mph on the West Side south of 59th Street beginning Saturday. The move comes as part of Vision Zero, a set of plans adopted by cities worldwide and introduced to New York by Mayor de Blasio in 2014. Vision Zero aims to eliminate pedestrian injuries and fatalities from vehicles, and the reduction in speed on the West Side Highway is meant to reduce the severity of vehicle impacts in areas south of 59th where the highway becomes street-level and pedestrians and cyclists frequently have to cross highway traffic at intersections, including busy areas like the Intrepid museum, Chelsea Piers, and Battery Park City. While drivers may rarely even have the opportunity to top 30 mph in rush hour traffic, the DOT will catch any drivers speeding using new speed cameras along the highway. If the area south of 59th Street sounds familiar, it's because it's the same area targeted by the upcoming congestion pricing plan, where a system of cameras will collect tolls on cars entering the area south of 61st Street. While vehicles staying on the FDR or West Side Highway will be exempt from congestion pricing, vehicles would also be monitored by cameras used for collecting tolls on vehicles exiting the West Side Highway once it reaches street level and begins exiting into the central business district south of 61st. The speed limits on all small streets within the city were dropped to 25 mph in November 2014. If you can't enjoy a low-speed drive on the West Side Highway and don't want to pay a congestion toll, consider a ride along the new 14th Street busway, which was finally able to open on October 3rd, and has been going swimmingly ever since. The street has been cleared of cars, leaving the buses to freely glide from stop to stop along 14th Street from Third Avenue to Ninth Avenue. Even though the implementation was delayed by three months by community groups, the first week of the busway seems to have had no noticeable impact on the surrounding streets. Bus riders on social media showed quiet, peaceful, and efficient rides during multiple times of day, with just a sparse few delivery trucks parked along the curb. It remains to be seen if the city's experiment with a busway can indeed increase the average speeds of buses on 14th Street while also not slowing down the surrounding area, but for right now, the first attempt at reorganizing 14th Street seems to be a success. I'll bring you the full Department of Transportation report once the trial period for the busway is complete. 16 years ago on October 15, 2003 — A Staten Island ferry strikes a pier at St. George Terminal, S.I., killing 11 people and injuring 165 of the 1,500 passengers In A Great Big City history: We're currently watching the MTA's new busway on 14th Street, but 3 years ago the MTA Sends Test Trains Along the New Second Avenue Subway. Train aficionado DJ Hammers on Youtube caught a glimpse of empty subway cars through a stairway at 63rd and Lex that were being run on the new Second Avenue line. The test cars were loaded with large boxes, presumably to simulate the weight of a fully-loaded train. The Second Avenue line would open three months later in January 2017. 8 years ago we were looking at the Rockefeller Center and Bryant Park Preparing Their Skating Rinks, and both rinks are on schedule this year as well! Rockefeller Center's rink opens on Saturday, October 12th, with regular admission being $25 for adults and $15 for children under 11 years old, and the Bryant Park rink will open as part of their Winter Village on October 31st, with free admission. 2 years ago, the NTSB was working to track down the drone pilot who was responsible for a drone colliding with an Army helicopter. The Blackhawk helicopter was hovering at about 300 feet near Midland Beach in Staten Island when a DJI Phantom drone struck the helicopter's blade and window frame, which obliterated the drone but did lodge a piece of debris in the helicopter that the NTSB would use to identify the owner of the drone. When interviewed by the NTSB, the drone operator admitted that he was flying the drone outside of his visual range and was unaware of the helicopter's flight path. Data from the drone operator's controller showed the drone's flight from Dyker Beach Park out over the water, along the Coney Island shore, and then looping back over open water toward Staten Island. It was at that point that the drone hit the helicopter. — Drone Pilot Interviewed After Collision with Army Helicopter A Great Big City has been running a 24-hour newsfeed since 2010, but the AGBC News podcast is just getting started, and we need your support.

Fischer. The park land is undeveloped and appears to be inaccessible due to a fence around the property, but it adds a nice bit of green to the corner. Nearby Corporal Irwin Fischer Place was previously known as Highbridge Street, Hennessy Place, and briefly James R. Murphy Place.
