I went to Elmhurst after I jumped 11 garbage cans and skidded into a fried chicken shack. The nurses were some of the coolest chicks I ever took to Inspiration Point.

elmhurst has some great doctors and employees,and they also have some dreadful doctors and employees,it kind of the luck of the draw.Your’e best bet is to have someone assertive there with you to advocate for you.

Elmhurst is a fine hospital. Mt. Sinai related. It’s a no-frills hospital with good care and fine staff.

@Zero ..no need to mention it when more then 95% of the perpetrators fit a certain description. .Hence the mayor’s campaign to end stop and frisk…You simply can not ignore the truth.

Can someone please tell me when there is a crime sometimes the description of the “criminal” will include their race and/or ethnicity and in some cases there is no mention of it? Are the police not allowed to mention it for fear of not being P.C.? After a persons sex, I would think it’s a most valuable identifier in trying to find an alleged criminal….

What is world coming to? Such violence that you cannot even go outdoors without being attacked. I hope the victim makes it & I hope the brute chicken gets caught

I hope they catch him. It’s going to be hard though. That’s kind of a generic look for the Hispanic community.

Op-ed | New York’s ground lease co-ops: Our families can’t wait any longer 

Jan. 14, 2025 By Michael Tang 

Last December brought a long-awaited victory for New York City. Our City Council adopted the historic City of Yes housing plan, paving the way for more than 80,000 new homes by 2040 with the promise of affordability. As a longtime resident of Flushing, Queens, I naturally welcomed the news – it’s a much-needed reprieve for New Yorkers as housing costs continue to soar in the midst of an unparalleled housing crisis. But entering 2025 on the heels of this win, we residents at  Murray Hill Cooperative remain at risk — our lives are virtually unchanged because we belong to the last class of unprotected “tenants” as ground lease co-op residents. Without legislative action, more than 25,000 New Yorkers face the threat of losing their homes — homes that we own — to landowners seeking to raise our ground rent to astronomical rates.
