Madison Square Garden Launches “Thank You, NYPD” Campaign Bringing Together Celebrities, Athletes, Business Leaders, and Other Prominent Figures to Say Thank You to the New York City Police Department

Exclusive “Thank You, NYPD” Event To Be Hosted At MSG Featuring Performances By Chris Distefano, Fat Joe, John Fogerty, Cyndi Lauper, Sam Morril And More

New Yorkers Are Encouraged To Submit “Thank You, NYPD” Videos At MSG.com/NYPD

Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (NYSE: MSGE) (“MSG Entertainment”) announced a “thank you” campaign encouraging all New Yorkers to thank the New York City Police Department for their service to our great city. The initiative includes the “Thank You, NYPD” event, a private concert for the NYPD to celebrate the department’s dedication to keeping New York City safe. The event, which will be open exclusively to uniformed officers and civilian employees of the NYPD and their loved ones, will take place on Saturday, March 28 at Madison Square Garden. As part of this initiative, all New Yorkers are encouraged to visit www.msg.com/nypd to submit a video thanking the NYPD.  Whom You Know strongly supports law and order, the police everywhere and federal law enforcement under the Trump administration.

“Thank You, NYPD” will feature performances by music legends John Fogerty and Cyndi Lauper, rapper Fat Joe, comedians Chris Distefano and Sam Morril, and more, with appearances by celebrities, athletes, business leaders and other prominent New York figures. To create this unique event, MSG Entertainment is providing The Garden rent free and is donating all production and operating costs. More than 15,000 attendees, including NYPD officers and employees from across the five boroughs and their loved ones, will be invited to “Thank You, NYPD” as guests of Madison Square Garden.

Jim Dolan, Executive Chairman and CEO, MSG Entertainment said, “There are times in our culture today when the dissenter’s voice is louder than that of the majority. Such is the case with law enforcement, and in particular, the NYPD. Cries of ‘defund the police’ and other negative statements do not reflect the true feelings of New Yorkers. If that is what our cops are hearing and no one steps up to say otherwise, that can be disheartening. This concert to say, ‘Thank You, NYPD’ is designed to let our police know that we New Yorkers need, respect and appreciate their effort and service. It is not political. Just a sincere ‘thank you’ to our men and women in blue. New York would not be New York without you! Enjoy the show and know that we appreciate you.”

Cyndi Lauper said, “I am happy to show my appreciation for the brave members of the NYPD by performing at this MSG event. We are all New Yorkers, and the NYPD is such an important part of our community. I am a lifelong New Yorker, and we’re at our best when we are supporting each other. I hope my fellow New Yorkers join me in saying Thank You to the NYPD and their families.”

As part of this initiative, the public is encouraged to thank the NYPD directly – either in person or by visiting www.msg.com/nypd and submitting a video saying “thank you.” Submitted videos may appear in advertising and promotional materials, including on www.msg.com/nypd, The Garden’s social handles, in-game during Knicks and Rangers games, and during the “Thank You, NYPD” event on March 28 at MSG.

Madison Square Garden’s history of rallying New Yorkers around civic causes includes events such as “The Concert for New York City” following the 9-11 attacks, “From the Big Apple to the Big Easy” after Hurricane Katrina and “12-12-12: The Concert for Sandy Relief” following Super Storm Sandy. “Thank You, NYPD” marks the second time in The Garden’s history that the venue has coordinated and hosted a completely free event, following 2020’s Broadway performance of “To Kill a Mockingbird” which was adapted for The Garden and presented to 18,000 NYC public school students.

#PilotPeachy #PeachyandtheCity The New Terminal One at @JFK Welcomes Azores Airlines as Newest Airline Partner

The New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) today announced that Azores Airlines, part of the SATA Group, will join its growing community of international carriers, enhancing connections between New York, the Azores islands, and key destinations throughout Europe.

Azores Airlines will offer nonstop service between the New Terminal One and Ponta Delgada, with access to its signature stopover program and convenient onward connections across the Azores, Madeira, mainland Portugal and major cities throughout Europe.

The New Terminal One is a key component of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey's $19 billion transformation of JFK Airport into a world-class gateway, which will include two new terminals, the modernization and expansion of two existing terminals, a new ground transportation center, and an entirely new, simplified roadway network.

"We are thrilled to welcome Azores Airlines to the New Terminal One and to strengthen New York's connection with the Azores," said Jennifer Aument, Chief Executive Officer, The New Terminal One at JFK. "This partnership underscores our commitment to serving a diverse community of global airlines—from large network carriers to operators that connect distinct regions and cultures around the world. We look forward to collaborating with our colleagues at Azores Airlines to elevate the experience for their customers traveling through New York City and to introduce travelers to the natural wonders of the Azores."

"Joining The New Terminal One is an important milestone for Azores Airlines and for the communities we serve," said Rui Miguel Furtado Coutinho, President, SATA Group. "The Azores have long been a bridge across the Atlantic, and this partnership allows us to strengthen that bridge with a state‑of‑the‑art home at JFK. Our customers will benefit from easier access to New York and beyond, while enjoying an enhanced airport experience that matches the quality and care we strive to deliver onboard."

The New Terminal One, scheduled to open its first gates in 2026, will be JFK's largest terminal once complete. The state-of-the-art facility will feature the latest technology, modern amenities, elevated retail and dining options and sustainable design to maximize operational efficiency and passenger comfort.

Azores Airlines joins an expanding community of international airlines set to serve travelers at the New Terminal One, including Air France, KLM, Etihad, LOT Polish Airlines, Korean Air, EVA Air, Air Serbia, SAS, Neos, Philippine Airlines, Turkish Airlines, Air New Zealand, Royal Air Maroc, Air China, China Airlines, Gulf Air, Qatar Airways, EGYPTAIR, and China Eastern Airlines.

About The New Terminal One

The New Terminal One at John F. Kennedy International Airport is a bold and exciting project to develop a best-in-class international terminal that will serve as an anchor terminal in the Port Authority's $19 billion transformation of JFK into a global gateway to the New York metropolitan area and the United States. The New Terminal One will set a new standard for design and service, aspiring to obtain a top 5-star Skytrax rating.

The New Terminal One is being built on sites now occupied by Terminal 1 and the former Terminal 2 and Terminal 3, where it will anchor JFK's south side. Construction is taking place in phases with full completion in 2030. The first phase, including the new arrivals and departures halls and first set of 14 new gates, is expected to open in 2026. At completion in 2030, the New Terminal One, with a total of 23 gates, will be 2.6 million square feet, making it the largest terminal at JFK and nearly the same size as LaGuardia Airport's two new terminals combined.

The New Terminal One consortium of labor, operating, and financial partners is led by Ferrovial, JLC Infrastructure, Ullico, and Carlyle. The New Terminal One is being built by union labor and is committed to local inclusion and labor participation, focusing on diversity and capacity-building opportunities, including a commitment to target participation goals of 20% for minority-owned business enterprises, 10% for women-owned business enterprises, and 3% for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, with an emphasis on local businesses.

The Most Wonderful Stories Start at the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade®

The most wonderful stories start at Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade®.

The 99th Macy’s Parade will feature a world-class lineup of music’s biggest talents, iconic character balloons, imaginative floats and the one-and-only Santa Claus.

“Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is the official kickoff to the holiday season and has been part of the nation’s stories and traditions for generations,” said Will Coss, Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade executive producer. “The most wonderful stories start at the Parade. On Thanksgiving morning, larger-than-life character balloons, awe-inspiring floats and showstopping performances will create unforgettable moments and lasting holiday memories for millions of spectators in New York City and across the country.”

Electrifying Herald Square performances will include the daytime debut of EJAE, Audrey Nuna and REI AMI, the singing voices of HUNTR/X from Netflix’s hit animated original film KPop Demon Hunters, and Broadway’s biggest hits, “Buena Vista Social Club”, “Just in Time” and “Ragtime”.

Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade will celebrate its 100th march in 2026, continuing a tradition that has brought joy and lasting memories to generations worldwide. Although it began in 1924, the Parade was canceled in 1942, 1943 and 1944 due to World War II. During that time, materials that would have been used in the celebration, including rubber, were dedicated to the war effort.

From Sketch to Spectacle

The talented artisans and specialists at Macy’s Studios collaborate closely with partners to design, build, and produce immersive floats featuring state-of-the-art effects and breathtaking featured character balloons that inspire joy and wonder on Thanksgiving morning.

This year, four new featured character balloons will debut, including Buzz Lightyear by Pixar Animation Studios; PAC-MAN™ by ©Bandai Namco Entertainment America, Inc.; Shrek’s Onion Carriage from Universal Pictures’ DreamWorks Animation; and Mario by Nintendo. Additionally, Derpy Tiger and Sussie from Netflix’s KPop Demon Hunters will join the line-up as a mid-sized balloon and balloonicle, respectively.

Six new floats will also debut, including The Land of Glaciers, Wildlife & Wonder by Holland America Line®; Brick-tastic Winter Mountain by The LEGO Group; Master Chocolatier Ballroom by Lindt; Upside Down Invasion: Stranger Things by Netflix; Friends-giving in POPCITY by Pop Mart, the makers of Labubu; and The Counting Sheep’s Dream Generator by Serta®. Additionally, The Elf on the Shelf® Santaverse’s™: Frost Pips™ by The Lumistella Company, new balloonicle elements will join this year's line-up. Towed by Ram Trucks, the official truck of the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, the debuting floats will join a lineup of fan favorites including Santa's Sleigh.

Ahead of the 100th march in November 2026, iconic Macy’s Parade elements from its storied history will return to the streets of Manhattan for this year’s celebration. The talented team at Macy’s Studios will reintroduce and reimagine beloved balloon elements from some of the Parade’s earliest marches delighting fans of all ages, including Rainbow and Greybow Trouts, the Happy Hippo Triple Stack, Wigglefoot, and Freida the Dachshund by Macy’s in partnership with The Farmer’s Dog. A unique new float element, in collaboration with Goldfish®, will also join this year’s lineup.

Bigs and Littles from Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) will lead the Parade on the iconic Tom Turkey float. These matches will celebrate the partnership between Macy’s and BBBS, which empowers young people through mentorship opportunities and experiences as part of the brand’s social purpose commitment, Mission Every One. Since 2022, this holiday cause campaign has raised more than $13 million.

March to the Beat

Talented student musicians from across the globe will join the line of march, including Banda de Musica La Primavera (Santiago, Panama); Catawba Ridge High School Marching Band (Fort Mill, S.C.); Damien Spartan Regiment (La Verne, Calif.); L.D. Bell Blue Raider Band (Hurst, Texas); Macy’s Great American Marching Band (United States); Northern Arizona University Lumberjack Marching Band (Flagstaff, Ariz.); Sounds of Dyn-O-Mite from Alcorn State University (Lorman, Miss.); Spartans Jr Drum and Bugle Corps (Nashua, N.H.); The Marching Pride of North Alabama (Florence, Ala.); and The Temple University Diamond Band (Philadelphia, Pa.). The NYPD Marching Band (New York, N.Y.) will also join the festivities.

Celebrated choreographer Mia Michaels will create enchanting performances with Macy’s House Dancers for the crowd-favorite arrivals of Tom Turkey and Santa Claus, as well as five featured floats.

Rounding out the lineup are captivating performance groups from across the country, bringing joy and entertainment to the Parade route before arriving at 34th Street for their showstopping broadcast performance.

In over 30,000 posts we've told you that Manhattan is the place to be! We happened to be walking by this yesterday and Peachy seems to have a knack for discovering the pulse of Manhattan.

Dedicated, talented actress Katie Holmes really impressed us with her fantastic attitude and work ethic with a smile on her face wearing pants and long sleeves in 100F Manhattan weather when the humidity could not be much worse! Her Instagram says:

I am so very grateful to be working again with so many of my wonderful friends on this film HAPPY HOURS. And working with Josh after so many years is a testament to friendship. HAPPY HOURS is a love story that includes so many people I adore. We can’t wait for everyone to see what we make.

We do not know Katie but hats off to her, her co-workers, the crew and of course CRAFTY, naturally Peachy's favorite part, for being such troopers in these conditions. Katie, if you are reading we would love to meet you! And of course Peachy is available for a cameo! Whom You Know totally supports the film industry in New York and we always have with Movietime In Manahttan and Small Screen Scenes.

Set in the Historic Seaport in Partnership with Event Zero Foundation, James Beard Foundation, a21 and Seaport Entertainment Group.

The Food Network New York City Wine & Food Festival presented by Invesco QQQ (NYCWFF) today announces its spectacular 18th annual programming lineup in its new home, the Seaport, one of New York City’s most historic and dynamic neighborhoods. Now anchored at the Invesco QQQ Festival Campus in the Seaport, the annual Festival promises an enhanced guest experience in a dynamic new setting. This move reflects NYCWFF’s continued evolution while honoring its long-standing partnership with Food Network and its mission to celebrate the very best in food, drink and entertainment.

I’ve wanted to bring the Festival to the Seaport since it opened 15 years ago, and I’m thrilled we’re finally here, with all our signature events within two blocks. It feels great to be in a true neighborhood that celebrates creativity, community and culinary excellence. It’s a fresh start and an opportunity to reintroduce the Festival in an exciting new way. I’m especially excited to collaborate with my longtime friend Jean-Georges on this new chapter and deeply grateful to the chefs, partners and passionate fans who continue to support us year after year. As always, Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits will be the exclusive beverage provider, giving guests the opportunity to taste and sip some of the finest wines and spirits from around the globe.”

“As stewards of the hospitality industry, a21 is inspired to not just be a part of this celebration of food and community, but to help steer the event to grander prestige,” said Brett Friedman, Founder and CEO of a21. “With the addition of the James Beard Foundation and Event Zero Foundation, the event will evolve through its vibrant talent while creating a positive impact throughout the city with an emphasis on sustainability in the culinary industry.”

The Soloviev Foundation Welcomes Lenny Kravitz for May 8 VIP Reveal of “Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US”

Opening to the public May 15, the powerful community-based installation honors America’s founding principles through a modern lens.

The highly anticipated Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US, an immersive public art installation made possible by The Soloviev Foundation,  hosted its official ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 8, 2025. Opening to the public on May 15, 2025, Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US showcases candid reflections on America's founding pillars of liberty and equality through the lens of modern-day experiences.  It was a smashing success and we were honored to cover it.

The May 8 ceremony welcomed special guests and notable community figures, including multiple GRAMMY-winning artist Lenny Kravitz, who served as a member of the distinguished panel for the Future Generations Essay Contest. As part of the evening, Kravitz spoke on the enduring theme of freedom and joined The Soloviev Foundation in announcing the essay contest’s student winners—young voices from across New York City who shared personal insights on the meaning of liberty and its evolving role in American democracy.

Spanning over six-acres on Manhattan’s East Side from 38th to 41st Street on First Avenue, Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US offers an immersive journey through 250 years of American history, highlighting the nation's progress, challenges, and triumphs. The experience is brought to life through 41 large-scale screens that feature breathtaking photographs and compelling audio interviews of individuals from diverse racial, ethnic, social, and professional backgrounds whose personal testimonies represent a rich cross-section of American life.

“Art has the power to bring communities together and open our eyes to our collective strength,” said Stefan Soloviev, Principal of The Soloviev Foundation and Chairman of the Soloviev Group. “We are proud to support an installation that showcases 250 years of American history and fosters meaningful connections and reflection. Path of Liberty is a tribute to our shared ideals and a reminder that liberty is an ongoing journey that requires all of us to take part.”

"Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US is a call to come together through art, history, and shared experiences,” said Michael Hershman, CEO of Soloviev Group. “We are proud to provide a platform for voices that speak to the enduring relevance of liberty and equality and create an opportunity for people to look back on our past and look forward to a future of collaboration and mutual understanding."

“Freedom is a vital, underlying right. These students have exercised their freedom in a thoughtful way that should be a model for all of us. I’m grateful for the Path of Liberty to help us reflect on America’s rich history as we approach its 250th anniversary,” said Kravitz.

Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US has been designed by multi-specialty creative studio C&G Partners and directed by award-winning filmmaker, director, and producer Daniella Vale. The installation, which stands as a prequel to the 2026 United States Quarter Millennial, also features an immersive film experience produced in collaboration with the Museum of the American Revolution and Donna Lawrence Productions, along with interactive elements that helps ground the modern-day stories in a deeper historical context.

Beginning May 15, 2025, guests can experience Path of Liberty: That Which Unites US free of charge on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday evenings from 8:00 PM to 11:00 PM.

About Stefan Soloviev: The Mastermind Behind

America’s Agricultural Renaissance

Stefan Soloviev has proven himself to be a true visionary in the world of farming and land acquisition. With an unyielding commitment to sustainability and innovation, Soloviev's influence has stretched across the United States, revolutionizing the agricultural industry.

Born in 1975 to a Russian émigré family in New York City, Soloviev's entrepreneurial spirit was apparent from a young age. He took his first steps into the world of agriculture when he purchased his first farm in Kansas at the tender age of 23. Over the next two decades, Soloviev demonstrated his keen eye for opportunity and his ability to capitalize on untapped potential. Today, his business empire encompasses over 400,000 acres of farmland across several states, making him one of the largest private landowners in the country.

As the President and CEO of Crossroads Agriculture, Soloviev has overseen the company's meteoric rise to success. He deftly combines a deep understanding of the land with a commitment to cutting-edge technology, leading the way in sustainable farming practices. His influence is felt not only in the fields and pastures of his vast holdings, but also in the numerous business deals he has brokered, including the formation of valuable partnerships with multinational corporations.

Soloviev's dedication to responsible land stewardship has been a driving force in his career. He has been a staunch advocate for environmentally-friendly farming techniques, such as no-till farming, which has helped to reduce soil erosion and improve water conservation. His commitment to sustainability extends beyond the fields, as he has also invested in wind and solar energy projects across his holdings.

This visionary entrepreneur has never been content to simply rest on his laurels, however. Soloviev's business acumen has led him to explore various other industries, such as real estate and mining. As the head of Solow Building Company, he has overseen the construction of numerous high-end residential and commercial properties in New York City. Additionally, his ventures into the mining sector have further diversified his portfolio and contributed to his impressive net worth, which has earned him a spot on the prestigious Forbes list of billionaires.

Stefan Soloviev's success can be attributed not only to his keen business instincts, but also to his relentless pursuit of new opportunities and willingness to take calculated risks. His diverse business interests, combined with his dedication to sustainable farming practices, have made him a truly transformative figure in the world of American agriculture. As we face the challenges of climate change and a growing global population, Soloviev's innovative mindset and commitment to responsible land management serve as a shining example for others to follow.

In a world where sustainable practices and responsible business operations are becoming increasingly important, Stefan Soloviev stands out as a pioneer in the agricultural industry. As his empire continues to grow, so too does his influence on the future of American farming. By harnessing the power of technology, sustainability, and innovation, Soloviev is helping to usher in a new era of prosperity and environmental stewardship for the agricultural sector.
