What’s
up New York, It is cold and
windy today, so grab your scarf if you're heading outdoors. 🌬 Urban
Farming is helping cities like NYC, by distributing food,
strengthening the community, and funding local farms. 🗽🌱 Andrew
Yang is highlighting cash relief at the center of his campaign for
NYC Mayor, but it may not be enough to sway New Yorkers that label Yang
disingenuous and out of touch with the city. 💰🚫 Upper
Market Gallery seeks to unify the community and encourage
conversation centered around art. 🎨💻 Did you know that
Silicon Valley-based investors and NON-NYC venture firms are pouring
money into NYC’s economy? 💸🌍 The Equity
Online Initiative launched by MVP Accelerator will assist 100
black-owned businesses on digital platforms, thanks to NYC based parent
company Infront. 🥳️💼 NYC real-estate is
now being held to energy-efficient building standards and many
are failing to meet the environmental mark. 🌱🌇 NYC put money into
action by pulling $4
Billion worth of investments out of big oil and freeing it for
greener energy initiatives. ♻️🌼 Song: HANA - Black
Hole App: Stash There
is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being
superior to your former self. ―Ernest

NYC Mayoral Candidate What Is Andrew Yang Pitching To the People? Andrew
Yang is under scrutiny following the incorrect use of the word “bodega”, and
other comments that made him seem less New York than New Yorkers would have
appreciated. Now, Yang is reorganizing in order to run for NYC mayor and his
approach is focusing on finance. Learn about Yang’s
take on financial relief for New Yorkers and other aspects of his plan.

Fresh Food Boxes Urban Agriculture Making Wellness Accessible New
York doesn’t just use locally grown produce to feed new yorkers or supply
food banks, it also utilizes urban farming as a means for better community
relations. The practice of urban farming benefits those beyond the inner city
too, allowing farms upstate and in Long Island to put their extra harvests to
good use. Thanks to GrowNYC
and other similar initiatives, Urban farming is gaining more traction and the
Fresh Food Box Program is feeding New Yorkers locally grown goodies.

and an opportunity to build community. NYU and Hunter College graduate,

Seafood + Saki = Umami Sponsored by: New York Bursting with Flavor and Sake New
York City has long been a melting pot of cultures, histories, and people
coming together. With all this wonderful fusion, NYC emerges as a center of
bold cuisines, exciting tastes, and unforgettable stories. This December, we
visited a pop-up dedicated to the Japanese taste of umami. We chatted with
Miss Sake herself, to better understand how this flavorful taste comes to be.

What’s
up New York, Our mid-week
weather includes some scattered showers and low winter temperatures. ☔️ New Yorkers will
soon be able to purchase their own take-home
coronavirus tests thanks to the vending machine being set-up by
Wellness 4 Humanity. 🤖🏥 Some businesses
are hastily preparing to reopen. As the city is reimagining every aspect
of shared office buildings, even toilets might get a makeover to accommodate
for social distancing. 🏗💼 An online press
conference including speaker Daniel Schwarz from the New York Civil Liberties
Union and others will ask New York as a whole to “Ban
The Scan”, outlawing the government's use of facial recognition. 👁👤 LaGuardia
Community College, an affordable
two-year college in Queens is reportedly graduating students with
STEM-based degrees more than almost all other CUNY institutions and graduate
centers. 🔬🎓 Is access to
vaccination for some and not all resulting in more freedom for some? Although
the two-part
vaccination is meant as an additional measure of protection, some New
Yorkers are using it as a badge to go mask-less and get in closer contact. 🗽💉 Brooklyn Borough
President Eric
Adams Calls on President Joe Biden To Discuss Plant-based diets and
prioritize America’s health crisis. 🌱🍴 Song: Julia
Harriman - Safer
Place App: Databot It
is health that is the real wealth, and not pieces of gold and silver. –

Our Vaccinated Population What Does a Partially Vaccinated Society Mean? The
first rounds of vaccinations administered in NYC are slowly running out as
eager healthcare workers, immune-compromised individuals, and senior citizen
aged groups all rushed for their first dosage. Meanwhile, some lucky enough
to have received just one part of the two-part vaccination for COVID-19 are
eager to return to socializing. How will New
Yorkers who aren’t vaccinated be affected by those vaccinated, and vice
versa?
