Good Monday morning in New York City, where it's raining hard.
Here's what else is happening:
- There were about 57,000 vacant rent-stabilized apartments in New York City last year, according to self-reporting from landlords.
- A whale hit a New Jersey fire rescue boat on Saturday after the Sail4th celebrations, giving the firefighters on board only seconds to jump off before the vessel sank near Raritan Bay off Staten Island.
- New York City is now covered in Knicks murals.
- The Yankees are slumping, but four of their players are going to the All-Star Game.
- A then-9-year-old's prank message in a bottle that was sent to sea at the Jersey Shore in 1973 has been recovered.
- Scientists say people who remain fast walkers into their 80s tend to be sharper mentally.
- Rich people are putting snow rooms (it's like a reverse sauna) in their houses and yachts.
- And finally, hydrate!:
