🌳💰 🌲 “Brooklyn’s Forest Just Hit the Jackpot!” — $10M Gift Keeps Prospect Park Growing 🌳💸 🌳

In a plot twist worthy of a Disney reboot, Prospect Park — Brooklyn’s crown jewel and home to its only forest — just scored a cool $10 million endowment to keep its trees thriving and squirrels happy 🐿️💸. The gift comes from local legend Shelby White, who grew up rowing on the park’s lake and birdwatching with the real BBC — that’s the Brooklyn Birding Club, not the one with British accents 🎩🐦.

Thanks to this mega-donation through the Leon Levy Foundation, Prospect Park will hire four new “ecological zone gardeners” 🧑‍🌾🪴 to help heal the forest’s Ravine (still recovering from last year’s fiery tantrum 🔥🌲) and keep Lakeside lush. President Morgan Monaco called it a “gift that secures the park’s future,” while arborist Malcolm Gore basically sighed in relief that he’ll finally have help with the park’s 30,000 trees 🌳😅.

🧊🌉 “Blades, Bridge & Brooklyn Magic!” Ice Skating Returns Under the Iconic Span ❄️💫

Grab your gloves and channel your inner figure skater, because ice skating under the Brooklyn Bridge is BACK! 🧊🎉 Starting November 24 through February 1, the Roebling Rink in Brooklyn Bridge Park will once again turn New York’s skyline into your personal snow globe. For just $16 (plus $8 for skate rentals if you forgot your blades of glory 🛼), you can twirl, glide, or—let’s be real—adorably wobble beneath one of NYC’s most iconic landmarks.

This year’s lineup is cooler than ever: private lessons from the Fireworks Skating Academy 🎇, field trip mornings for schools and clubs 🏫, and tasty bites from Time Out Market just steps away 🍕☕. Forgot your socks, gloves, or dignity after your third fall? No worries—they sell all three (well, at least the first two). 😄 New Yorkers even get a shot at free tickets for select sessions—just bring your ID and your best winter grin. So lace up, spin out, and make your holiday season Brooklyn-style magical! 🧣💙 More information about Roebling Rink can be found here

Hey New Yorkers! 👋 This Tuesday, November 11, 2025, we’re taking a well-deserved pause to honor our nation’s heroes ❤️💙. Before you head out, here’s what you need to know — because not everything in the city that never sleeps will be awake! 🗽

🚫 Closed City Functions and Services

It’s a day to honor, reflect, and relax. Enjoy the parades, wave the flags, and thank a veteran today! 🫡

⚡️💸 “Nuclear Power = Cheaper Showers?” New Yorkers Get a $151M Energy Boost!

Big news for your wallet, New York! 💰💡 Governor Hochul just announced that because of some very clever energy math, millions of New Yorkers will save $151 million on their 2026 electricity bills — all thanks to the state’s Zero-Emission Credits (ZEC) program and a shiny new federal tax credit for nuclear power. 🧮⚛️

Here’s the fun part: New York’s nuclear plants — those quiet heroes by Lake Ontario keeping your lights on without belching carbon — are now getting federal clean-energy tax perks. But instead of pocketing the cash, they have to hand it back to you in the form of lower bills. 💸💨 Think of it like the state telling the power companies, “Hey, thanks for going green — now pass those savings to the people!” 🌱🙌 So next time you’re charging your phone or brewing coffee, just remember: your electrons are not only clean — they’re a little cheaper, too. ⚡📺☕
