@newyorkers Column 🤪

Summer 2026 has been historic so far. Here’s some standout moments from the last week in NYC.

Jay-Z at Yankee Stadium:

• Jay-Z fans explained what he meant to the city at his three-day residency of Yankee Stadium.

• Yankee Stadium went crazy after Jay-Z brought out Beyoncé.

• Eminem joined Jay-Z on stage for night one.

• Jay-Z addressed the crowd on the final night after thousands were stuck outside Yankee Stadium past midnight due to a security risk.

• Jay-Z really brought out everyone for his Night 3 show.

• Jay-Z’s second night ended up being the largest crowd ever for a solo artist at Yankee Stadium.

  
  NYC Round-Up:
  

• NYC was hit with both an air quality advisory due to wildfire smoke and a diarrhea-inducing parasite at the same time. We’re really going through it right now.

• The wildfire smoke turned NYC’s skies into a grey smog this week.

• Argentina fans in NYC went wild after their team advanced to this Sunday’s final at MetLife Stadium.

• The 123rd lifting of the iconic Giglio was held last weekend during the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Feast in Williamsburg.

• A 40-foot Trojan Horse was built in front of AMC Lincoln Square for the premier of “The Odyssey”.

• With City Council Speaker Julie Menin voicing her support for a ban, it soon might be the last ride for Central Park horse carriages.

• The World Cup Final is set. Spain will take on Argentina on Sunday at MetLife Stadium.

• Jalen Brunson beat out Shohei Ohtani and Lionel Messi for Best Male Athlete at the ESPYs.

• Hero: this NYPD officer gave his candid thoughts after rescuing a distressed woman from the Brooklyn Bridge.
