It’s a “grand” Penn plan. Renderings of a Penn Station revamp proposal linked to a big backer of President Trump — that controversially relocates Madison Square Garden — could give New Yorkers a glimpse of the troubled transit hub’s future.

It’s mo’ money for Mamdani. Democratic socialist and Big Apple mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani still reaps royalties from his rap career — although it’s not much C.R.E.A.M., his tax return released Tuesday revealed. The Queens politician’s tax return for last year showed $1,267 in royalties, from his days as a self-described “B-list rapper” who used the stage name Mr. Cardamom. But it’s no hard-knock life for the candidate, who raked in a $131,000 salary as a member of the state Assembly.
