A look inside classic New York City delis Oct 10, 2023

Reubens on rye bread and platters of sturgeon and lox have long been staples at New York City delis. Some of these spots have become city institutions, bringing locals and tourists into their doors for a unique experience that is not possible anywhere else.

The latest on the city’s influx of arriving migrants Sep 26, 2023

Last week, President Joe Biden and his administration extended a federal policy for Venezuelan migrants in the United States, allowing for wider permissions like legal work permits. What does that mean for the thousands of migrants in the city, of which 40% are Venezuelan?

When New York City went dark Aug 15, 2023

On a Thursday afternoon in 2003, the power went out in New York City. Rush hour commutes turned into walking across bridges or sleeping on the steps of Penn Station.

Without notice, NYPD Commissioner Keechant Sewell handed in her resignation to Mayor Eric Adams last week. The sudden departure of the first woman commissioner was a shock to those even close to her. What led to that decision? Did the mayor, a former member of the NYPD himself, curb too much of her power? Were there internal politics that tipped the scales?

A look into the business of Broadway shows Jun 06, 2023

The city's effort to curb greenhouse gas emissions Apr 25, 2023

Buildings across the five boroughs are responsible for nearly two-thirds of the city's greenhouse gas emissions. To address this in the face of climate change, the 2019 City Council passed Local Law 97. While it was considered one of the city's most ambitious plans to curb emissions, details are still being hammered out four years later. Pat Kiernan speaks with NY1 political reporter Juan Manuel Benitez about the debate over what environmental efforts should be taken in the city, what the fines could be and which buildings might be exempt from these efforts.

In the Neighborhood: Jackson Heights Mar 14, 2023

Jackson Heights in Queens is not New York's biggest neighborhood or most populous, but it is considered the city's most diverse. In fact, this pocket outside of LaGuardia Airport might be the most diverse area in the world. Researchers believe more than 160 languages are spoken here. But it wasn't always that way. Builders planning for Jackson Heights in the early 20th century wanted it to be an all-white, homogenous enclave.

What happened to Gov. Kathy Hochul's choice for top judge? Jan 31, 2023

Earlier this month, the state's Senate Judiciary grilled Hon. Hector LaSalle for hours. He was Gov. Kathy Hochul's pick to become the state's top judge, and if confirmed, he would have been the first Latino judge to preside at that level. But at the end of the hearing, senators voted down advancing LaSalle, the first time any such refusal had taken place. And the fiercest opponents to his confirmation were those from within the governor's own party. Pat Kiernan speaks with the NY1 political team about the unprecedented nature of the vote, the battle among Democrats in Albany and why this repudiation might stand for so much more than LaSalle.

How the illegal weed market flourished in New York Jan 17, 2023

For more than a year, two different policy ideas existed in New York at the same time: recreational weed was legal, but the sale of it was not. That created a gray area in which smoke shops - whether knowingly or unknowingly - started selling products with THC. But as the state opens its first licensed weed retail stores, they now have to root out the black market that’s grown. Pat Kiernan speaks with Alyssa Paolicelli, who rode along with the city Sheriff’s Office as they raided shops with illegal weed products.

Seeking asylum in New York City Jan 03, 2023

Pat Kiernan talks with NY1 reporter Eric Feldman about the state of the asylum system in New York.

What can we do about NYC's housing crisis? Nov 08, 2022

HOW TO LISTEN

Could a Republican ever run New York again? Oct 25, 2022

It has been more than 15 years since a Republican governor has been at the helm in Albany. Rep. Lee Zeldin is hoping to change that by ousting Gov. Kathy Hochul. But the state has been growing more blue in recent years and the math does not favor red. Pat Kiernan speaks with his colleagues about whether this is the time for a Republican victory.

Meaningful adjacencies Sep 13, 2022

The reflecting pools of the 9/11 Memorial & Museum are surrounded by the names of the thousands who were killed on Sept. 11, 2001 — but the order of the names is not well known. The architects behind the memorial design came up with a concept they called “meaningful adjacencies.” That concept shows the web of relationships of the victims and personalizes each name. The sorting of the nearly 3,000 names, however, was an arduous, years-long process of research and organization. Pat Kiernan speaks with the architect who took on this task to ensure each victim and their relationships would be recognized — and that their families could gather on visits for years to come.

How the city is helping students with dyslexia Aug 30, 2022

Dyslexia is believed to affect 20% of the population, and for the city's public schools, that could mean hundreds of thousands of students. For years, parents and teachers have struggled to identify dyslexia and implement new ways of learning.

Pat Kiernan sits down with NY1 education reporter Jillian Jorgensen to talk about the new program and the upcoming school year.

Rep. Jerry Nadler and Rep. Carolyn Maloney have had a long history of friendship and working together in Congress. But when the new maps were approved for the 12th Congressional District, they were faced with a tough call: sit out the next election or run against a longtime colleague. Now, the politicians from the East Side and the West Side are facing off. Making the race more interesting is a third candidate, Suraj Patel, who hopes that he can pull enough votes away from the septuagenarians to secure a victory. Pat Kiernan speaks with NY1 political reporters to discuss the race.

Will we see self-driving cars on New York’s streets? Aug 02, 2022

Autonomous vehicles might have seemed like a concept from a future age, but engineers and car manufacturers have been inching towards this new technology in recent years. But even if a car can navigate itself on the widest of open roads, New York has a unique traffic terrain unlike anywhere in the world. Pat Kiernan speaks with NY1 transit reporter Dan Rivoli about the traffic, pedestrians and obstacles that might stand in the way of autonomous vehicles driving around New York City.

What's in a (neighborhood) name? Jul 19, 2022

SoHo, TriBeCa, Dumbo, NoLIta. Those are all neighborhoods around the city that any New Yorker should be able to point out on a map. But where did those names come from? When does a nickname pass the point to formal acceptance? And how are the names of our city's neighborhoods continuing to evolve, whether because of new residents, new lingo or new real estate investments? Pat Kiernan speaks with NY1 reporters Anna Sterling and Roger Clark about how some New York names came to be and why others didn't stick.

Have we made progress on our severe weather promises? Jul 05, 2022

We also conduct an experience to see how people on a street respond to someone who needs help. This episode contains explicit language.

The Black artists who changed the sound of music Jun 07, 2022

What the return of alternate side parking means for you Apr 26, 2022

For many New Yorkers with cars, alternate side parking is an annoying twice-a-week ritual where cars must be moved from the spots to make way for street sweepers.

The rental apartment nightmare in New York City Apr 12, 2022

Renters in particular are facing tough times as the city bounces back from the pandemic.
