Updated – UPK application period extended

NEW YORK CITY COUNCIL MEMBER
CARLOS MENCHACA | 38th District
Dear District 15 Families:
Earlier today the Department of Education announced that seven new pre-k classrooms at the former Bishop Ford High School would immediately provide over 100 seats to school district 15 families.
After working closely with the Mayor’s Office, the Dept. of Education, and Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, I am proud to announce an extended lottery enrollment process that will begin Tuesday August 26th and conclude September 2nd. 


Application site: Families who reside in District 15 may apply at P.S 10 (511 7th Ave, Brooklyn NY 11215)Date & Time: 9AM – 3PM – Tuesday August 26th through Tuesday September 2nd. Evening hours will be held on Thursday August 28th from 6 – 9PM at a location to be determined.

Must bring: your child along with two proofs of District 15 residence, 2010 birth certificate, and a vaccination card.

This important revision will ensure that working families have fair access to these new seats. Moreover, the additional days allow us to engage in the kind of coordinated outreach campaign that will let us reach residents with technology and language access barriers.
I commend the Mayor and the Department of Education for extending these much-needed pre-kindergarten opportunities.

At ‘A Few of Each,’ Gowanus artists capture a neighborhood in flux

In some cultures, there’s a belief that death comes not when your heart stops beating, but when you’re forgotten. To remember something is to keep it alive, even if only in your heart. That idea is the key to A Few of Each, the collection of cityscape art currently on display at Gowanus Wine Studio on 3rd Avenue. The exhibition

Vincent Coppola on ‘Gowanus Crossing’

I first met Vincent Coppola in 1961 when we were high school freshmen at St. Augustine High School on Park Place in the Slope. After a career in journalism and some notable books, he’s now ensconced in Savannah, a city which, like Vinny, acknowledges the presence of ghosts. The interview has been edited to leave out the boring bits. Full

People of Red Hook: August 2026

This is New York City, but today nobody’s rushing. People are lollygagging down the streets while the 95-degree heat penetrates their bones. So it’s not too hard to get them to stop and talk to me about their relationships with their phones—the very phones that most of them are staring into before our conversations begin.   Christopher Loyd: I’m trying to
