Scant Summer Showers Reported

It's a sunny Good Friday afternoon in New York City, but the city is facing a dry summer, with the lack of rain making headlines.

Meanwhile, in the world of politics, Curtis Sliwa's top campaign adviser, Rob Cole, has described Sliwa as one of the most serious people he's ever worked for. This comes as New York Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie has not endorsed Zohran Mamdani in the city's mayoral race.

Elsewhere, the queue for Shakespeare in the Park has been particularly extreme this year, a testament to the enduring appeal of the beloved event.

For those seeking a bite to eat, good burgers can be found in Flatbush, while New Yorkers looking for a night out might want to ask a group of nightclub door people about getting past the rope, as The Cut recently did.

In the realm of art, there are some cartoons about the city's subway system, offering a humorous take on the daily commute.

On the cultural front, there are reports of excellent porridge in Scotland, while PBS is facing challenges as it cuts 15% of its staff due to the loss of federal funding.

However, when it comes to the question of which mayoral candidate has not officially supported Zohran Mamdani, the search results do not provide a definitive answer at this time. Stay tuned for more updates on the city's mayoral race.
