📰 News we're reading

• Knicks Parade: Route, Street Closures, Subway Changes And Security Rules (patch.com) — New Yorkers heading to the Knicks championship parade in Lower Manhattan on Thursday will face extensive street closures south of Canal Street, subway station shutdowns, and strict security screenings with a long list of banned items. The parade runs up Broadway from Bowling Green to City Hall, where a separate ticketed ceremony will be held, and officials urge fans to arrive early and use nearby open subway stations and boosted Staten Island Ferry service.    

• NYC budget: Mamdani and Levine want new rainy day fund rules before the next fiscal downpour (amny.com) — New York City’s mayor and comptroller are pushing for stricter rules on the city’s rainy day fund, aiming to lock in formula-based deposits, clear withdrawal limits, and regular public reporting. Their proposal could go to voters via a charter change this November, and they argue stronger reserves are needed to protect schools, sanitation, housing, and other essential services during future downturns.    

• Rosalía Takes Her Ballet-Inspired Style Streak to New Extremes (harpersbazaar.com) — Rosalía is turning heads in New York City, stepping out near Madison Square Garden in a dramatic balletcore look ahead of her sold‑out Lux Tour shows. Her tutu-inspired, latex-and-lace outfit continues a broader pop trend of ballerina style taking over NYC streets and stages, from Olivia Rodrigo’s video shoot to upcoming tour costumes.
