Learned yesterday that I"ll be heading to #NewYorkCity next Sunday/Monday/Tuesday. My work/hotel will have me in Midtown Manhattan near Hudson Yards.
I realize it's probably a *very* tall order, but do y'all know of any cozy/quiet spots in the area? Always a fan of a good #speakeasy or similar.

The video I filmed of an ICE agent shoving a woman to the ground at 26 Federal Plaza, a New York City immigration courthouse, went viral.
Then, in a rare move, the government publicly reprimanded the officer, calling his actions “unacceptable.”

As a survivor, I am profoundly disturbed to see news of Trump trying to take over the 9/11 memorial and with it is memory and meaning. He corrupts everything America.
Trump seeking ways to take over 9/11 memorial in NYC

i worked at 5 WTC, the 9 story building between the towers. i stayed late at work on sept 10 so i planned on coming in late the next day and never made it in
we remember
🕯️
we also remember #trump spent #sept11 2001 boasting he now had the tallest tower in lower #manhattan
i yearn for the distant age when trump was just a local douchebag landlord we knew in #newyorkcity
"When some of #Rabbi Mia Simring’s congregants named themselves The Very Narrow Bridge Congregation, they weren’t just referring to the anthemic #Hebrew song “Gesher Tsar Meod” or the teaching from Rabbi Nachman of Bratslav on which it is based.
They were also alluding to their status as inmates on #RikersIsland, #NewYorkCity’s largest #jail.
“Everybody there knows that they are separated from the rest of their lives by an actual very narrow bridge,” Simring said.
So when it came time to name the jail’s new #siddur — perhaps the first ever #Jewish prayer book compiled expressly for the use in a correctional facility — the choice was obvious. “The Very Narrow Bridge: A Rikers Island Siddur” entered use earlier this summer."
