    Used to love going thru the Feast but it's so crowded and cramped with vendors selling junk now - it's an unpleasant experience.

    From the Eric Adams article, he "unveiled a multi-pronged plan that includes tax incentives and zoning changes to woo growing industries like cybersecurity and blockchain..."

    Uh, what exactly does this mean?
