Today's riddle: Why did the burglar wear blue gloves? 🤔 (Answer below!)
1. Black Trash Bags On NYC Sidewalks Could Now Bring Fines (patch.com) — New Yorkers in small residential buildings now face fines if they leave trash in black bags on the sidewalk instead of using city-approved lidded NYC Bins. The new enforcement aims to cut rat activity in neighborhoods like Bed-Stuy, Bushwick, the East Village, Chinatown, and Harlem, and is part of a broader containerization plan that will eventually bring large shared Empire Bins citywide.
2. Mega Millions winning numbers for September 8 $193 million jackpot (lohud.com) — If you're in New York City and eyeing the $193 million Mega Millions jackpot, you can buy tickets in-store or online until 10 p.m. on draw nights. The piece explains the new built-in multiplier, prize tiers, and long-shot odds so you know exactly what you're playing for before Tuesday and Friday drawings, including this Friday's game.
3. Setting Sail with the New Class at NYCPM (touro.edu) — Incoming students at the New York College of Podiatric Medicine kicked off their studies with a cruise through New York Harbor, taking in the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty. Many are relocating from across the country and will now call New York City home for four years, bringing backgrounds from neuroscience to music as they prepare for podiatric careers here.
4. Netanyahu will make a quick trip to speak at the UN after Mamdani urged his arrest, diplomat says (apnews.com) — New Yorkers can expect heightened attention and likely protests later this month as Israel's prime minister makes a brief trip to address the U.N. after the city's mayor publicly urged his arrest over the Gaza war. The visit, scheduled during Jewish holidays and an election campaign, is expected to add security and political tension around Midtown during the General Assembly week.
5. Cardi B's Latino music roots resurfaced with a Juan Gabriel classic she grew up loving (latination.com) — A leaked video of Cardi B passionately singing Juan Gabriel's classic "Costumbres" has fans revisiting her New York upbringing in a deeply Latino environment. Growing up in the city's Dominican, Trinidadian, and broader Latin American communities, she absorbed telenovelas, Mexican music, and family gatherings that still shape her tastes today, showing how New York's cultural mix lives in her offstage moments.
