Timothy Weah used his platform as a member of the U.S. men’s national soccer team to speak out about what he sees as an injustice. The Marseille player — son of Ballon d’Or winner and former Liberian president George Weah — joined New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani onstage as he announced he had secured 1,000 tickets priced at $50 for the matches to be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, just across the river from Manhattan.

Timothy Weah used his platform as a member of the U.S. men’s national soccer team to speak out about what he sees as an injustice. The Marseille player — son of Ballon d’Or winner and former Liberian president George Weah — joined New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani onstage as he announced he had secured 1,000 tickets priced at $50 for the matches to be played at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, just across the river from Manhattan. They are a drop in the bucket for this venue — the stadium, expanded to a capacity of 87,000, will host eight matches including the final, meaning 696,000 total tickets — but it’s something.
Colombian President Gustavo Petro is scheduled to travel to New York in a couple of weeks to meet with the city’s mayor and a leading figure of the global left, democratic socialist Zohran Mamdani, EL PAÍS has learned. The trip is set for June 12, a little less than two weeks after the first round of Colombia’s presidential election, which will be held this coming Sunday. If that vote does not produce a successor to Petro, a runoff will be held on June 21. In any case, the winner will take offic

With calls of American “resilience and unity” ahead of the country’s 250th birthday and chants of “USA, USA” from the the crowd of nearly 20,000 in a packed Madison Square Garden for Monday’s Game 3 of the NBA Finals, President Donald Trump learned how Knicks fans really felt about him.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro had planned to meet New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, during his trip to the United States this week. Petro traveled to the U.S. on Wednesday to assume the presidency of the United Nations Security Council. In the days that followed, he intended to hold a private meeting with Mamdani, a rising progressive figure who, like him, is a staunch opponent of Donald Trump.

Colombian President Gustavo Petro had planned to meet New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, a democratic socialist, during his trip to the United States this week. Petro traveled to the U.S. on Wednesday to assume the presidency of the United Nations Security Council. In the days that followed, he intended to hold a private meeting with Mamdani, a rising progressive figure who, like him, is a staunch opponent of Donald Trump. The photo of the two left-wing leaders carried great symbolic weight: for Mamdani it would have been his first meeting with a head of state; for Petro it would have meant sealing an alliance with Democrats on the eve of decisive elections for Colombia. The meeting never took place. The reason: the White House made sure of it.
LeAna López’s hips cue the musician, who, in a direct and improvised exchange, mirrors her movements on the primo, the lead drum of Puerto Rican bomba. The rhythm — born on Puerto Rico’s slave plantations in the 17th century — reverberates on this occasion inside a church in East Harlem, the Manhattan neighborhood known as El Barrio. The roar of the barrel drums builds, and, as the music reaches its peak, the scene seems to shift to the northeastern coast of the Caribbean island, to Loíza, the c
LeAna López’s hips cue the musician, who, in a direct and improvised exchange, mirrors her movements on the primo, the lead drum of Puerto Rican bomba. The rhythm — born on Puerto Rico’s slave plantations in the 17th century — reverberates on this occasion inside a church in East Harlem, the Manhattan neighborhood known as El Barrio. The roar of the barrel drums builds, and, as the music reaches its peak, the scene seems to shift to the northeastern coast of the Caribbean island, to Loíza, the cradle of Afro–Puerto Rican culture. But in an instant, the traffic on Lexington Avenue breaks the spell, serving as a reminder: this is New York.
Ángel Jiménez’s La Lechonera La Piraña is one of the few places outside of Puerto Rico where you can eat an authentic plate of lechón boricua. For the last 20 years in a trailer in the Bronx, Jiménez begins cooking pork before dawn and opens at midday on Saturdays and Sundays for those who snag a place in line before he sells out. He runs the business on his own, cooking, serving and chatting with clientele, always with a beer in hand.
THE real BIG FIGHT ;-)
Note: I sincerely hope that the MMA fighter on the far right (both literally and figuratively) will suffer a crushing defeat.

“I wish New York had cobblestone streets, like in Spain. They [would make it easier] to water the city, the trees would thrive and, on top of that, people could interact with them: lift the stones, reposition them, move them around.” John Wilson – with his blond beard, thick-rimmed glasses and faded red t-shirt that depicts Yo La Tengo (an American indie rock band) – is trying to recover from a hangover: “I drank a lot of wine and ate a whole rabbit.” Seguir leyendo

The largest FIFA World Cup in history kicks off on Thursday, June 11, at the Estadio Azteca. The opening match between Mexico and South Africa will be the starting gun for a tournament also hosted by Canada and largely staged in the United States, where 78 of the 104 matches will be played, including the final on July 19.

The largest FIFA World Cup in history kicks off on Thursday, June 11, at the Estadio Azteca. The opening match between Mexico and South Africa will be the starting gun for a tournament also hosted by Canada and largely staged in the United States, where 78 of the 104 matches will be played, including the final on July 19. FIFA president Gianni Infantino said last May at the United Nations headquarters in New York, an organization founded in 1945 to prevent armed conflict, that “the eyes of the world will be focused on North America.” “We spend so much time in discussing what divides us, but actually we realize that when we put people together, what happens is that there are many more things that unite us than the things that divide us,” he added. The World Cup, however, will be co-hosted in a country that just over 100 days ago launched a war against Iran, alongside Israel, without any United Nations endorsement, that has an open diplomatic dispute with another co-host, Mexico, and whose anti-immigration policies — policies that frighten many fans — on Monday denied entry to Somali referee Omar Artan, one of the 52 match officials assigned to the tournament.
