Restaurants, bars, entertainment venues and gyms are no longer be required to check for proof of COVID-19 vaccination from customers. In addition, the mask ban for students has been lifted.

Meanwhile, the mayor, who announced "new actions and investments in pedestrian safety at intersections" in January, was called out on Twitter for having one of his vehicles parked in the intersection on Second Avenue and Ninth Street this morning ...

  2. He will be no different for the past two mayors, sadly. His ties to big developers will show how little he cares about housing for the non-rich.

  3. He seems pretty cool to me. But he has to fire those people from Kansas that de Blasio hired who think plastic sticks and weird delayed traffic signals are good things. Those people don’t understand who NYers are. They think we’ll respect their ugly “delineators” (wtf?) and stand obediently waiting for a lightbulb to tell us when to cross the street. These are the people we left Kansas to get away from. We’re looking to Adams to tell those people to go away and, hopefully, never come back.

  4. @7:16 I agree those plastic sticks will not protect anyone, they actually cost the city more money for maintenance or replacement of those plastic sticks. Plus plastic are not good for the environment.

  10. I voted for him, and so far, I am completely unimpressed. I see showboating and grandiosity ("My" city? Excuse me?) where I had hoped to see maturity and intelligence.

  11. @12:02pm: I *didn't* vote for him b/c he seemed like smoke & mirrors to me then, and he hasn't done anything to change my opinion of him since he got inaugurated. IMO, you can't run NYC on "get out there & go to a restaurant".

    Totally agree with you re: showboating & grandiosity. I fear for NYC, b/c we lost 8 years of possible progress under de Blasio, and we don't have another 4 years to waste.

  12. I dont particularly like this Mayor and didnt vote for him. (I feel he is a BS Artist) HOWEVER he is 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000% better and more ACTIVE than the WORTHLESS Piece-of-Shit we had before him.

  13. Maybe that vehicle wouldn't block the crosswalk if the city didn't have a friggin corporate citibike station half block lengths and restaurants shacks in all the areas to pull over now. And I mean, it's the mayor, who cares, walk around it lol

  14. And there's Carlina always ready for a photo op while avoiding important meetings having to do with the destruction of East River Park, SoHo NoHo rezoning or outdoor kiosks.
