Good Friday morning in New York City, where it's going to get cold and possibly snowy this holiday weekend.
Here's what else is happening:
- Mayor Mamdani does not have any Black deputy mayors. ("It is acting out what Black people don’t like about the D.S.A.," said one prominent Black political consultant.)
- New York City Comptroller Mark Levine said the city could face a higher-than-expected $12 billion budget gap that Mamdani will have to find a way to close.
- The flu is still surging in New York City, particularly among kids.
- A Brooklyn judge has tossed a lawsuit aimed at removing the bike lane on Court Street.
- In other cycling news, this guy races subway cars on his bike to see if he can beat them to the end of the line.
- Police said armed robbers stole $100,000 worth of merchandise during a packed event at a Pokémon shop in the Meatpacking District this week.
- Ashley Tisdale's toxic mom group story might get turned into a major motion picture.
- CBS News has confirmed that "Whiskey Fridays with Tony Dokoupil" is not happening as of now.
- And finally, cheers to this guy, though:
