Adams to designate Elizabeth Street Garden as official NYC park to block housing project
To prevent Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani from turning Nolita's Elizabeth Street Garden into senior housing as first intended over a decade ago, Mayor Eric Adams is designating the one-acre green space as official city parkland. As first reported by Gothamist, Adams is transferring ownership of the lot to the Parks Department, which would require any development on the site to be approved by the state legislature. The move comes less than two months before Mamdani, who said he would build affordable housing at the site, takes office.

Corpse flower to bloom at New York Botanical Garden in time for Halloween
A rare corpse flower is set to bloom at the New York Botanical Garden, just in time for Halloween. The notorious flower, "Amorphophallus gigas," gets its name from the rotting-flesh odor it emits. It blooms every three to five years for just three days, with its distinctive scent reaching its peak during that brief window. The bloom is expected in about two weeks in the garden’s Enid A. Haupt Conservatory.
