Mamdani: New York City school closed Monday
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani said a blizzard in the forecast means the "first old school snow day since 2019." Translation for children across all five boroughs? No school on Monday, which also applies to remote learning.
As for Tuesday, no decision had been made, Mamdani said.
"Your mission, should you choose to accept it," the mayor said with tongue planted firmly in cheek, "is to stay cozy."
Mamdani also announced a travel ban in the city from 9 p.m. Sunday to noon Monday, closing streets, highways and bridges.
The ban applies to "all traffic, cars, trucks, scooters and e-bikes, with some specific exemptions for essential and emergency movement," he said at a news conference Sunday.
'It's personal to me' The law would require businesses to have proper state licensing, prove that their employees are paid and ban staff from living at the spas or sleeping there overnight. Repeat offenders could face penalties up to $25,000. NewsdayTV's Shari Einhorn has more.
