“A Brooklyn woman was arrested Friday for an attack in which she allegedly told an Asian woman to ‘speak English’ before pulling her hair and spitting on her,” the New York Post reported. The 26-year-old victim, who had moved to the city from L.A. three weeks before, said “she was speaking to a friend in Mandarin at West 60th Street and Broadway when the suspect confronted her.” Yvonne Yehudah, 31, was charged with aggravated harassment. The NYPD Hate Crimes Task Force was called to investigate.
There is discord around vaccine mandates among NYPD leaders. Commissioner Dermot Shea said on Tuesday that he was “100% behind” mandates for police officers and personnel, while, on Wednesday, Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association, the largest police union, told its members that they would “sue the city” if cops were required to get vaccinated, the Post reported. “‘If the City attempts to impose a vaccine mandate on PBA members, we will take legal action to defend our members’ right to make such personal medical decisions,’” he said. To date, only 47% of the entire NYPD is fully vaccinated.
“…simultaneously exuberant, true to Shakespeare, and shrewdly New York,” is what Untapped New York called the Public Theater’s production in Central Park of Merry Wives.

There before us in Central Park was a classic row of late 19th-century buildings, still handsome but aging, slightly askew, cornices intact but shaky, multi-colored bricks mixed with concrete blocks. We knew where we were, which was set designer Beowulf Boritt’s goal.”
A Riverside Drive Converted Studio. A West End Avenue Alcove Studio. An Amsterdam Avenue Converted One-Bedroom. Which would you choose? asks The New York Times in an interactive feature, and which did the first-time Upper West Side buyer take? “He had been saving to buy a place of his own and was aching to return (to the city). ‘My heart is on the Upper West Side,’ he said. ‘It’s my oasis….’ An expensive oasis, he discovered while searching StreetEasy to see what his budget of up to $500,000 would buy.”
