Happy Thursday. Looking out the window the trees are telling us that it’s fall, but the afternoon temperature of 79 degrees is not at all seasonal!

Congratulations to Holly-Anne Devlin of Hell’s Kitchen Neighborhood Action Committee and Joe Restuccia of Hell’s Kitchen Neighborhood Coalition, who were honored as Most Valuable Partners yesterday at the Annual Meeting of Hudson Yards Hell’s Kitchen Alliance for their services to the community during the pandemic.

Freeze Frame

We’re constantly frustrated by not being able to find a Citi Bike on the far west side. Next time we are searching, we’ll head to Rudy’s. We’ve no idea why it became home to four of the blue chariots yesterday evening.

Happy Birthday to Willow Toner Grey.
