@newyorkers Column 🤪

Congrats on making it through another week, New York. Here's some standout moments from across the city this week:

• If there's anything we need to bring back, it's that old-school New York accent 

• This is the last month you can get a MetroCard, leaving NYers all in their feels🥲 

• We wanted to find the answer to an important question: which borough is the funniest?

• The Mets moved on from star players Pete Alonso and Edwin Diaz, leaving fans distraught

• We asked NYers: what jobs in the city will be replaced by AI first? 🤖

• What do NYers want to watch more: the final season of Stranger Things or the new Diddy documentary?

• The MTA is testing out new Subway gates at 20 different stations

• NYC saw its first real snowfall of the season last night 

• This women is spreading positivity with jump ropes by bringing double dutch to strangers on the Subway 👏

• Spotted in Brooklyn Heights: aggressive Christmas Carolers singing Jingle Bells

• When Subway delays make you late for work and you need evidence for an excuse 🤣

• Big change for commuters: the F and M trains have swapped routes between Manhattan and Queens

• The Bryant Park Winter Village is so crowded that it's almost impossible to even move

• This is how real NYers deal with package thieves 📦

• End of an era: the historic Wythe Diner in Williamsburg was crane-lifted off its corner and is to be converted into a TV set

• This guy closed the entire Bryant Partk skate rink to propose to his girlfriend 

• When you’re on the Belt Pkwy at 2 AM, you see some shenanigans 

• Rockefeller Center is in full holiday-mode, and the crowds are ridiculous 

• Someone locked a poor manager out of his own store 🐈‍⬛

• Throwback: bonus cash from loading certain amounts on MetroCard machines
