Description
Mayor Eric Adams is proposing to house migrants in the now-shuttered Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan. It's the same facility where convicted sex offender and disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein took his own life. Meanwhile, police are investigating a potential hate crime in Borough Park after a man had his yarmulke snatched off his head. And in the latest installment of our series "I Tried It", WNYC's Ramsey Khalifeh dives into the pulsating beats of Basement, a much-revered techno club in Queens.
