- There will almost certainly be a lot of mess to clean up in Central Park this weekend after the fashion show with the most attendees ever wraps up.
- Money actually does buy happiness in New York City, $145,028 to be exact, according to a new study, which also found Santa Barbara, California to be the most expensive place to be happy.
- Luckily French fries also bring happiness, and they’re pretty cheap. Here are the best in the city, according to the New York Times.
- The mother of a man who allegedly died after a Peloton bike fell on him and sliced open his artery, filed a lawsuit against the exercise equipment company.
- A Rolling Stone report accuses Jimmy Fallon of fostering a toxic workplace for staff of The Tonight Show. Hours after it was published, Fallon called employees to a Zoom meeting to apologize for his behavior.
