Wouldn’t it be amazing if living in New York could suddenly become easier — and even more enjoyable?

Whether you’ve been here since birth or are still discovering (and adjusting to) the city’s peculiarities and price tags, one fact remains the same: Staying for the long haul takes endurance — and you should take advantage of any little edge you can grab (ethically, of course) to make it work.

Our "How To Be a New Yorker" course will give you that upper hand. For our 2026 installment, we’ve delved into more advanced New York–ing — how to throw a party, where to get a haircut (and a facial, and your lashes tinted), how to work out without going broke, how to catch the best concerts, how to keep a child (and your schnoodle) relatively happy, where to sharpen your thinking, and even how to plan a funeral. We’ve also taken the time to help you bulk up your local Rolodex by asking discerning notables to tell us where they reliably — even gleefully — run all their errands.

When our “Classifieds” section debuted in 1971, the listings reflected the moment: There was a polar-bear-pelt rug priced at $2,500, a build-your-own-dulcimer kit, wild rice from Minnesota going for $4 a pound, and “Scientology jewelry.” The majority of the ads were for services, and by the ’90s, that included yacht rentals, psychics, and gift-basket-makers. At one point, there were over a dozen listings for party caricaturists for hire.

While the demand for the latter has waned, New Yorkers’ desire for other people’s stuff has not, so we’re bringing back our “Classifieds” for New York–based subscribers. Each edition will have a theme — “I Love It, But It’s Just Not ‘Me’” is the first — and for our inaugural installment, we asked some tasteful New Yorkers to submit things they’re willing to part with that fit the prompt. Unlike in the ’70s, there’s no fee to submit a listing and it’s up to the buyer and seller to coordinate payment and pickup.

Head to the link in our bio to see those first listings or sell the stuff that just doesn’t feel like ‘you’ anymore.

Brian Coleman and his partner bought a teensy former tenement apartment on West 10th Street in 1998, but the building itself dates to the 1880s, when the upper crust was embracing the Victorian aesthetic movement with its maximalist parlors stuffed with spindly furnishings, gilt frames, and pattern-on-pattern-on-pattern.

In the living room, Coleman added gold paint to an original marble fireplace, stained wood floors a deeper shade of brown, and took modern glass out of the window frames in favor of wavy antique panes. Crown moldings were painted a deep green, and so was wainscoting, designed to frame panels of 1890s linoleum. At auction, he bought a pair of gold silk curtains that had been shown at the Japanese pavilion of the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, then moved to one of Teddy Roosevelt’s offices, and flew in his favorite draper to fit them perfectly.

Then there’s the ceiling, where a trompe l’oeil painter put in a pattern of sunbursts modeled after a Minton tile. On a corner of a built-in settee just off the fireplace, Coleman asked for painted grotesques, similar to some he had spotted in a British sanatorium, then added a realistic painting of a mouse-size mouse eating a few crumbs of pizza. “The main thing was to make it fun and whimsical,” says Coleman. “I am a firm believer in Victorian excess.”

On Thursday evening the Rent Guidelines Board issued its preliminary vote on Zohran Mamdani’s campaign promise of a rent freeze. Crowds of tenants showed up inside La Guardia Community College in Queens as the board voted. It set a range between 0 and 2 percent for one-year leases and between 0 and 4 percent for two-year leases. These numbers aren’t binding, but the final vote, which will happen at the end of June, traditionally falls within the ranges (which means the rent freeze is still a possibility).

The annual meetings are always something of a circus, and this year is only more amped up with Mamdani’s promise of a freeze. There are nine members on the board, and six of them were appointed by Mamdani, giving him the majority he needs. The board, though, is supposed to act independently and consider the data.

So what does this preliminary vote actually mean? Clio Chang explains at the link in our bio.

The stairs at 30 Rock are extremely steep. Today, New York City zoning rules and the International Building Code generally cap stair height at seven inches, but the steps in the Art Deco tower, which opened to the public in 1933, measure in at 7.5. Half an inch doesn’t sound like a lot, but it feels like a lot when you’re taking them two at a time up 66 stories. It doesn’t help that running 30 Rock is like navigating a vertical maze that demands a constant recalibration of pace and focus, making it nearly impossible to establish a rhythm.

“I started racing skyscraper stairwells a little over a year ago and have since run a dozen buildings ranging from 25 to 105 stories,” writes Michelle Sinclair Colman. “While this may sound like a possibly unhinged way to spend one’s weekends, tower running, as it’s officially called, is a real sport, with organized races, rankings, commentary, and a global following. And these races do more than test endurance. They reveal the hidden logic of these buildings, particularly the architectural nuances and eccentricities of their often unseen stairwells.”

At the link in our bio, Colman uncovers what tower running has taught her about the secrets of the city’s tallest buildings, from 30 Rock and the Empire State Building to One Vanderbilt and One World Trade.

If you were dying to read the Epstein files on paper for some reason, you can now save yourself some printer ink. A reading room containing all 3.5 million pages of records related to Jeffrey Epstein that were released by the Department of Justice opens Friday in a Tribeca gallery. (You have to RSVP for the address, it seems.) The by-appointment-only pop-up is being put on by a nonprofit called the Institute for Primary Facts and will also include a timeline of Epstein and Donald Trump’s relationship. Thusly named the Donald J. Trump and Jeffrey Epstein Memorial Reading Room, the project is part art installation, part museum exhibit, and part cursed archive where the only reading materials are emails to and from Jeffrey Epstein.

In the past year, Madison Avenue has gotten a face-lift — or at least a dose of Botox: Over a dozen decidedly less capital-U uptown store openings are catering to a younger clientele, like @shopdoen, @susan_alexandra, and @roxanneassoulin.

The @metmuseum is growing without getting any bigger. Its future Tang Wing will poke not an inch farther into Central Park than the old modern-art galleries did (or that’s the promise, anyway). Ever since Kevin Roche megasized the complex in the 1970s, the Met has stuck to a policy of rearranging itself within that footprint. Gradually, a succession of architects has eked out some fresh square footage here and there, discovering unused bits of space but never building up or down or out. Its most recent excavation is the new 12,000-square-foot home of the @metcostumeinstitute, which has graduated from its old basement and taken up a privileged position just off the Great Hall.

The Costume Institute was once secreted below stairs, beneath the Egyptian galleries. Now, you get to the upgraded version by walking up the grand Fifth Avenue staircase, bearing right at the giant floral arrangement above the information desk, and making an immediate turn into the galleries, where clothing has the elevated status of Rembrandts, Chinese landscape scrolls, and ancient statuary.

An immense display case sits in the arched niche at one end of the vestibule, so that a pair of costumed mannequins can face in toward the galleries and out to the hall’s milling crowds. It’s a subliminal suggestion for where visitors may want to start their tours: Clothes make the museum.
