For more news on New York’s high-stakes mayoral race, follow the Manhattan Institute’s The Bigger Apple newsletter. State assemblyman Zohran Mamdani, a self-described “Muslim lefty from the other side of Queens,” has surged in the campaign for New York mayor. That’s thanks to a simple message: life here is too expensive, and those in power aren’t doing enough about it. His candidacy is gathering strength and now represents the most serious socialist run at New York’s City Hall since 1917.

Sign up for The Media Today, CJR’s daily newsletter. Over the last decade, waves of hyperlocal blogs and other digitally native local publications have come and gone. Who doesn’t remember the demise of a beloved site, from Chicago’s Windy Citizen to the snarky Fucked in Park Slope to the Catskills’s sweet Watershed Post? Local publishers’ heroic trade group, LION Publishers: Local Independent Online News, boasts just over 150 members. Most of them are one- or two-person shops.

The weather has turned pleasant and just about every neighborhood in Brooklyn wants you to come out and enjoy all it has to offer — from Atlantic Antic Downtown, 3rd Avenue Fair in Bay Ridge, art crawls in Ditmas Park and Prospect Lefferts Gardens, to lots of literary events to go with the Brooklyn Book Festival. Or just plain fun.
