It’s Wednesday afternoon in New York City, where it’s about time someone made a musical about Hell’s Kitchen.
Here’s what else is happening:
- Indicted New Jersey Sen. Bob Menendez clarified today that he’ll announce his resignation “when it comes time.”
- The NYPD in 2023 has so far seized more than double the amount of illegal mopeds it confiscated by this point last year. The move comes as delivery workers increasingly switch from (potentially flammable) e-bikes to larger, faster mopeds (which require DMV registration).
- Dramatically releasing doves at your New York City wedding could soon become illegal thanks to a new City Council bill.
- A Lehman College student who was arrested and sentenced to a year in prison in the United Arab Emirates for allegedly “assaulting and insulting” customs officials at the Dubai airport has now been freed and sent back to New York.
- In December, indie rock legends LCD Soundsystem are doing a citywide residency exclusively for people with American Express credit cards.
- The Wall Street Journal reports that Americans who vacation in Italy and eat a ton of pizza are coming home to discover that they’ve lost a few pounds, possibly because they walked around more.
- Here’s the trailer for “Priscilla,” Sofia Coppola’s Elvis movie.
- Putting away your phone to get something done is now called “going monk mode.”
- And finally, bear vs. moose:
