Brooklyn wedding tainted by norovirus sparks hotel-catering lawsuit

A Brooklyn wedding at The Box House Hotel left the couple and more than 30 guests sick with norovirus after tainted food from the hotel’s catering, prompting a Manhattan Supreme Court lawsuit accusing unsafe food handling and sanitation lapses. NYC health inspectors noted deficiencies (e.g., lack of hand soap, thermometer), the hotel retrained staff and disinfected facilities, and the health department later said the outbreak was likely linked to a norovirus-positive kitchen worker, while stressing that the virus was widespread in New York at the time.

Trump-Canada tariffs threaten NYC’s recovery as tourism and construction feel the pinch

Trump’s escalating Canada trade war threatens New York’s recovery by shrinking Canadian tourism (visitors down about 26% and spend down 14%), jeopardizing the city’s tourism-led economy. Tariffs—such as a 50% duty on $20 billion of Canadian goods—would raise costs for cement, building materials, and consumer goods, lifting prices on construction, restaurants and retailers and potentially delaying NYC’s forecast of about 66.3 million visitors this year unless a deal with Canada is reached.

Wawrinka bows out of US Open without wildcard, grateful for New York memories

He publicly thanked the US Open and New York, describing the city as a place that shaped some of his strongest memories and noting the battles and crowd energy that defined his US Open era; wildcard decisions are made by federations and the USTA, with reciprocity rules affecting such allocations.

Green Lakes Named Second on National Tick-Borne Illness Concern List

Green Lakes in Fayetteville, NY, ranked No. 2 on WorldAtlas’s national tick-borne illness concerns list—a ranking built from regional Lyme disease data, research and firsthand reports, not park-specific case counts. New York Lyme cases are rising (nearly 23,000 statewide last year, excluding NYC). Health officials urge routine tick checks before and after outdoor time, use of repellents and light-colored clothing, and checking children and pets; biologist Dave Knable notes his brother’s Lyme disease and discusses protecting his dog with a preventive collar, while NY Health Commissioner Dr. Jim McDonald stresses prevention before illness.

New York Tops SF for U.S. Tech Talent, Fueled by AI

CBRE's latest study finds New York now has more tech workers than the San Francisco Bay Area for the first time in 13 years, driven largely by AI roles that make up about a third of U.S. tech listings; NY leads overall tech talent, while SF remains the AI leader. AI jobs rose about 45% year over year, with leasing activity concentrated in Manhattan and other AI-heavy markets like SF, Boston and Seattle, and SF driving a large share of AI leasing in the first half of this year. In Canada, AI jobs cluster in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

ICE Detains NY Harbor Boat Captain After Statue of Liberty Tragedy

ICE has detained 46-year-old Manuel Ernesto Hernandez-Umana, the captain of a boat that capsized near the Statue of Liberty, killing a mother and her five-month-old daughter; he faces federal charges of misconduct and neglect of a ship officer resulting in death, and DHS says he is in the U.S. illegally after lying about citizenship in 2007. ICE plans to deport him after the criminal case, following a Coast Guard investigation into the Aug. 8 incident that triggered a major emergency response.

New Yorkers weigh salad safety as Cyclospora outbreak lingers

New York faces a summer surge in cyclosporiasis linked to fresh produce, with thousands sick nationwide and hundreds in the city, though officials have not pinpointed a single source. Some cases have been linked to recalled iceberg lettuce in other states; in NYC, transmission sources remain under investigation. Health guidance emphasizes thorough washing of fruits and vegetables, and some people are cooking or choosing local/frozen produce or avoiding leafy greens, while experts differ on how drastic the dietary changes should be. Public health teams are tracing cases through interviews and supplier checks as they monitor the outbreak's evolution.

Trump hits Long Island with tough-on-crime pitch to boost Blakeman

President Trump traveled to Long Island to rally support for Nassau County executive Bruce Blakeman in the New York gubernatorial race, accusing Gov. Kathy Hochul and Democrats of making the state unsafe and pushing a hard-on-crime platform that includes bail reform limits and stricter immigration enforcement. The event highlights Republicans’ attempt to leverage crime as a key issue, though Blakeman trails Hochul in polls, and Hochul has touted public-safety gains while fending off GOP attempts to tie her to Trump and the national political climate.
