Happy Monday in New York City, where the festivities are far from over.

As you and I and every single person in this city already knows, from the youngest newborn to the oldest pigeon-feeder in the park, the Knicks won the NBA Finals. The final buzzer in San Antonio barely sounded on Saturday night before the raucous, delirious celebrations began.

Mobs of fans congregated shoulder to shoulder in the streets outside Madison Square Garden and tens of thousands more outside bars and watch parties across the five boroughs. Amid the tears and cheers and shows of camaraderie, there was violence. The NYPD arrested 63 people Saturday on charges ranging from assault on a police officer to disorderly conduct to destruction of public property.

But this city isn’t satisfied with one wild night of catharsis. Mayor Mamdani announced yesterday that City Hall is planning a ticker tape parade for Thursday through the Canyon of Heroes on Broadway. The parade will start near Battery Park and end at City Hall, where the Mayor plans to personally award each member of the Knicks a key to the city. As of this writing, the NYPD is planning for about 4 million attendees at Thursday’s parade — the largest celebratory crowd in the city’s history.

Don’t empty the chamber on Thursday, though, because the party will go on. USA’s World Cup match against Paraguay on Friday was the most watched U.S. men’s soccer team telecast in history, and the hype is just getting started. Mamdani, the “Soccer Mayor,” has planned parties and live events all month. The city is turning parks, plazas, theaters, markets and even LinkNYC kiosks into more than 100 free viewing sites, building toward a 50,000 person watch party of the World Cup Final on the Great Lawn in Central Park.

And then, come July 4th weekend, Donald Trump is bringing his America250 enthusiasm back to his home town. Organizers are planning to launch the “largest maritime and aerial gathering in American history” in the New York Harbor. To honor the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the celebration plans for 80 vessels (including possibly a 100,000-ton aircraft carrier), 200 military aircraft and over 20,000 participating sailors.

“We’ve sort of run out of adjectives to describe the scale and scope of what we’re going to do here,” Capt. Jonathan Andrechik, commander of Coast Guard Sector New York, told The New York Times.

Seems like Donald Trump uses the same party planner I hired for my last birthday party.

A Brooklyn artist will be presenting his craft all the way to Japan.

Brooklyn Made, the Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce’s retail platform for local makers, is bringing artist and Brooklyn Tattoo co-founder Adam Suerte to Tokyo for a four-day live art residency later this month.

The opportunity is an artist-in-residence program at Brooklyn Made’s international pop-up in Sugamo, Tokyo, and will feature live painting, public workshops, a meet-and-greet and collaborations with students from Taisho University.

Suerte says Brooklyn Made “truly champion[s] independent creatives/makers and create invaluable opportunities that independent artists and makers would not typically find themselves offered.”
