Did this come as a surprise to anyone else this morning? Today marijuana is legal in NYS for anyone 21 and older. The state is already expunging tens of thousands of marijuana convictions from people's records. The police can no longer use marijuana smoke as a pretext for a stop. This is a big deal. #NYlegalizedit

Halloween is canceled.

"On Saturday, the city’s plan to allow NYC restaurants to add up to a 10 percent surcharge to diners’ bills officially went into effect. Plans to add a restaurant surcharge have been in the works for a couple of years now due to rising costs for restaurateurs, but this particular surcharge is tied to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the restaurant industry."

"Park lovers across the Five Boroughs came together to clean up New York City on Oct. 17, as a summer of budget cuts and heavy use has led to some city parks looking worn down. In Brooklyn, lawn lovers cleaned up Prospect Park, Owls Head Park, and Canarsie Park, where thousands of cooped up Brooklynites have flocked for fresh air and open space throughout the pandemic as a 14 percent cut to the Parks Department’s budget resulted in the loss of 1,700 seasonal maintenance workers."

"Nearly a quarter of New York City’s bus and subway workers have contracted Covid-19, a study conducted by the NYU School of Global Public Health has found, highlighting the severe impact of the pandemic on frontline workers in the city."
