Three mornings a week, a fleet of brand-new, $500,000 trucks descends on Harlem to hoist a thousand massive trash bins into the air. Sanitation worker Anthony Martin stood outside one of the trucks on a recent misty morning and signaled his colleague in the driver's seat, Marvin Hernandez, who used a joystick to shake loose a few stubborn trash bags. They slid into the compactor, and the truck's arms lowered the container back into its permanent home in front of a city sidewalk.

An overhauled section of East River Park that had been closed for nearly four years as part of a $1.5 billion flood protection project reopened this week. The refurbished sections are south of the Williamsburg Bridge, and feature new barbeque areas, basketball courts and green spaces.

The Rockaway Peninsula, home to New York City’s greatest stretch of beachfront, beckons millions to its sandy shores every summer. The 11 miles of waterfront are home to tight-knit communities that turn into boomtowns between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Each neighborhood offers a different vibe, and attracts a different crowd of city slickers.

Swimmers who struggle in the water at a New York City beach this summer could find themselves being rescued by a flying robotic drone this summer. City officials on Friday laid out plans to deploy the technology widely at the city’s 14 miles of beachfront, which open for swimming on Saturday. The city tested the futuristic flyers along the waterfront last year as part of a pilot program.
