Happy to give Knicks legend John Starks an assist as we give back to our community tomorrow. If you know someone who needs a turkey, send them over to John Starks Kia at 139-03 Queens Boulevard. Let’s make sure every family has what they need this holiday season.

@drichardsqns.bsky.social is right and the council is being duplicitous: Props 2-5 are the housing reforms we need, and the public will still have a voice. Vote yes. www.nydailynews.com/2025/10/17/w...

We must vote YES on affordable housing

Every New Yorker — from a renter in Crown Heights to a homeowner in Cambria Heights — knows that the rent (or mortgage) is too damn high.

Yesterday we were honored to host former Mayor De Blasio, @drichardsqns.bsky.social, and members of The Inner Circle as we cut the ribbon on The Inner Circle Collection. The Archives staff is thrilled to be chosen as the repository for the organization's records, and eagerly await this year's show!

Archives Director of Education Programs Molly Rosner is interviewed by NY1 in the Archives' research library.

Archives staff show a photograph of Mayor Abe Beame and boxers Muhammad Ali and Kenny Norton to assembled members of the press in one of the Archives' cold storage rooms.

Former Mayor Bill De Blasio, NY1 transit reporter and Inner Circle President Samantha Liebman, LaGuardia Community College President Kenneth Adams, and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards cut the ribbon.
