It’s at the new Moxy Hotel near Times Square.

When the Moxy Times Square opens in September 2017, it will boast the largest all-season rooftop bar in New York City, becoming the crown jewel in a city known for its sky-high watering holes with stunning views.

The as-yet-unnamed 10,000-square-foot rooftop bar and lounge will be open every night and will start taking reservations later this summer. Guests of the hotel will get priority access.

A spokesperson for the Moxy said that the bar and lounge will have an “urban amusement park” concept, a DJ, and epic views of the Empire State Building.

You could squeeze the population of 8 states into NYC’s 5 boroughs October 7, 2016 By Diane Pham

New York City is crowded, but if you needed any more proof that you’re being packed into a urban sardine can, just have a look at this map from Metric Maps which ushers out the city’s current inhabitants for those elsewhere in the United States. As the illustration reveals, to bring NYC’s population from zero back to its mind-boggling 8.5 million, you could pull in the populace of eight different states.

The map above is based on 2014 Census data and includes the states of Alaska, Montana, New Mexico, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, West Virginia and Wyoming. To put what you’re seeing further into perspective, NYC’s five boroughs consists of just 305 square miles versus 1,211,778 square miles across the eight aforementioned states; that makes for nearly 28,000 inhabitants per square mile in the city (not counting all those tourists) versus 7 per square mile averaged for all those other states. And as the latest Census data shows, NYC’s population is expected to grow another few hundred thousand over the next few years.

Are you worried yet?

NYC neighborhoods by the foot

As the city’s real estate market adjusts to new realities, TRD looked at key residential and commercial price points in 16 neighborhoods By Adam Pincus and Yoryi De La Rosa | May 01, 2017

Residents, commuters and tourists in New York City share the streets and sidewalks, but the buildings they own, rent, work in and shop in are worlds apart.

To better understand the range of property values in the five boroughs — as well as some of the differences within a single district — The Real Deal analyzed 16 neighborhoods, from the Upper West Side to Gravesend, Brooklyn.

The greatest disparity was in retail. While store tenants are asked to shell out more than $4,400 per square foot along Upper Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, they can lease space for as little as $10 per foot in St. George, Staten Island.

By contrast, average office rents have the tightest range citywide — from a high of about $82 per square foot in Midtown to a low of roughly $22 in Staten Island and the Bronx.

There’s also a remarkably stable ratio between the price of buying a home and renting one in these select neighborhoods.

The rental price per foot ranges from about 3 percent to just over 6 percent of the average residential sales price in 13 of the neighborhoods. But in Parkchester and Mott Haven/Port Morris in the Bronx and in Jamaica, Queens, a renter is paying 10 to 13 percent per foot of the average sales price — an indication that sales prices are relatively lower in those neighborhoods compared to rentals.

Meanwhile, sales prices in the 16 neighborhoods ranged from a low of $183 per foot in Parkchester to more than $2,000 per foot in Midtown.

Subway Rent Map Shows Manhattan Rental Prices Along Each Train Line

April 22, 2015 By Dana Schulz

The folks over at Thrillist have put together the fun new Manhattan Subway Rent Map, which shows “where you can’t afford to live, by stop.” The figures come from the median rent per bedroom near every Manhattan subway stop. For the most part, the trends are what you’d expect — prices along the 4, 5, 6 line get incredibly lower above 96th Street; living near a 14th Street train station will cost you; and the A, C, E train carries pretty steep prices throughout Manhattan until you reach 125th Street. But what’s interesting is that the 59th Street corridor reigns supreme, with prices across the board coming in around $2,800.

Thrillist used census blocks and data to arrive at their findings, looking at those rentals located within a quarter-mile of a given station.

Great Hill, Central Park

The Great Hill is an open hilltop meadow with picnic tables, a quarter mile soft surface oval path (good for a jog), and lawn under a ring of stately trees.

Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux designed the Great Hill as a carriage concourse where visitors could enjoy commanding views of the Hudson River and the Palisades. With the passing of time and the growth of trees, the view slowly disappeared. In the 1940s and 1950s, the Great Hill was turned into a recreation area with bocce, tennis and volleyball courts and horseshoe pits, but by the 1980s, it was an abandoned and dilapidated ruin.

In 1993 the Conservancy replaced the crumbling recreation spaces with a lawn and oval track. In August 2009, an unexpected microburst devastated the area, felling so many of the trees in the area. Today the Conservancy has replanted many trees and the original views that Olmsted and Vaux had created have been restored. Now, the Great Hill is the site of picnics, lawn games, running or race walking on the oval track, and jazz concerts.

Please note: Each winter, the Great Hill lawn closes for the season. This allows our turf crew to provide much-needed care for the landscape, ensuring that it will be ready for the influx of visitors come spring. For specific information about when the Great Hill lawn will re-open in the spring, please visit the Alerts and Closures page or follow us on Twitter.

Envisioning NYC’s Next Streets Revolution

"Streetopia" makes the case for city streets where people, not cars, truly come first.

By David Meyer Jun 23, 2017

About 12 years ago, a coalition of advocates under the banner of the New York City Streets Renaissance set out to transform city transportation policy away from the car-oriented status quo and toward people-first streets. Streetsblog and Streetfilms have their origins in that campaign, propelling a growing public awareness that NYC doesn’t need to settle for dangerous, traffic-choked streets.

The ideas promoted back then — protected bike lanes, dedicated street space for transit, carving away traffic lanes for car-free public spaces — seemed a little outlandish at the time, but many elements of that agenda have become official city policy in the years since. And yet — the vast majority of NYC streets remain dominated by private cars.

While small interventions like signal changes, pedestrian islands, and safer markings have touched many neighborhoods, only a sliver of a fraction of city street space has been reallocated from cars to other modes. You’re less likely to lose your life in traffic now than 12 years ago, but New York still doesn’t have streets where, say, parents feel comfortable letting a child in elementary school walk a few blocks on their own to a friend’s house.

New York can be a city where everyone from young kids to elderly seniors can get around without fear, where neighborhood streets can be places of congregation and activity instead of motorways. To become that city, we’ll have to shift a lot more street space from cars to transit, biking, and walking.

Last night at the Museum of the City of New York, Streetsblog publisher Mark Gorton and Transportation Alternatives launched Streetopia, a campaign that aims to show what our streets are capable of when we no longer accept the primacy of the private motor vehicle. Here’s the message in a 90-second Streetfilm:
