A woman was fatally stabbed on New Year’s Day in Astoria in what police said was the first homicide in New York City this year.

The unidentified woman, who is believed to be in her 40s, was found lying unconscious on the sidewalk near the busy intersection of 23rd Street and Broadway at about 8:30 p.m. She had multiple stab wounds, police said.

EMS rushed the victim to Mount Sinai Queens, where she was pronounced dead.

The victim was reportedly spotted by a passer-by on the ground bleeding, according to the New York Post. The area where she was found is along a busy corridor with many local shops and restaurants.

There have been no arrests and the investigation is ongoing.

Last year, there were 485 murders reported across the city — up 17 from the 468 investigated in 2020.

There is stupid then there is Fox stupid.

Check Ravens wood houses. NYCHA needs to turned into market housing, housing for disabled and seniors only. Enough already. NYCHA in its current form is a failed experiment.

Pro tip: your tv remote is a very handy device. It even has a button so you can change channels. It might help you with your unhealthy obsession with FOX NEWS. You are not required to watch it 24/7. If that doesn’t work, then it’s therapy and meds.

No one is surprised. But alternate side street parking has been suspended due a chance of snow Monday, Jan. 3! That is all voters in Astoria care about.

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.
