A couple and marriage registration certificate. (Source: wsj.com) New York State and New York City have fully reopened since May 19, but there is one place that is still unable to welcome special guests, happy people, that is the New York marriage registration office. . The building is located in the central district of Manhattan where people not only in New York come to register their marriage, so the standard important procedure here is that couples will hug, kiss passionately and take photos to save. memorable moment after being awarded the sacred certificate. But now, the traditional procedures indispensable for couples who want to be married cannot be done because of the risk of infection. COVID-19 too high, even when the pandemic has been pushed back in New York as it is now. The New York marriage registration office has been closed since March 2020 after the pandemic broke out here. It has long been considered a symbolic destination for marriage, and before the pandemic hit, this massive building saw long lines of brides and grooms lining up to be officially spoken. “I agree/you agree” to your other half. In an interview with the Vietnam News Agency reporter, Mr. Michael McSweeney, in charge of the marriage registration office New York , stated: “Before the pandemic hit, our office was very busy, especially during the warmer months, and we did marriage formalities for couples on a first-come, first-served basis. So every day, many people come to line up, they bring their relatives and children here, so the atmosphere is always fun like a festival. A lot of people in other places also want to choose New York as the place to officially say something special.” At that time, flower and photography shops are always ready to open their doors to welcome happy guests to capture their memorable moments. But those scenes are now gone. As of March 2020, marriage recognition ceremonies in New York must be conducted online, and couples receive marriage certificates also on the online platform. In 2020, the office marriage registration New York held an online marriage registration ceremony for 25,603 couples; much less than the 75,370 pairs registered in 2019 due to the impact of the pandemic. Joanne Stevenson and her husband, who went to the New York marriage office to complete the marriage certificate in 2019, shared: “It’s boring to see this place so quiet, but to be honest, that’s why we didn’t have to. have to line up.” As for Joanne’s husband, she remembers the scene like a “happy office” when they went to do the marriage procedures in 2019. He feels sorry now that couples have to get married online . City officials are planning to be able to open the door to welcome couples to register for marriage while ensuring everyone’s safety, but the ability to organize according to the traditional method before the pandemic is still too difficult. . Mr. McSweeney said that the marriage registration office is currently working with relevant New York City agencies to develop a specific plan to help people come to register their marriage directly as before. .

Next, they climbed the rope down to the fourth floor, threading through an open window into the JP Morgan gem and mineral gallery. They are about to commit the biggest jewelry heist in New York history. Police find fingerprints after the theft of precious stones worth 3 million USD in 1964. Photo: Getty Images One is Jack Roland Murphy, a 27-year-old world-class surfer and violinist. This mastermind is commonly known as the surfer Murphy. His partner is Allan Kuhn, 26, of Miami. The watchman was 29-year-old Roger Clark, sitting in a sleek white Cadillac parked on the street, keeping in touch via walkie-talkie. Using glass cutters and rubber bands, the two thieves carefully sawed three glass cabinets so that the sound of the saw matched the sound of the plane flying in the sky to avoid attracting the attention of 8 security officers tasked with protecting the large museum big. The thieves took their time, spent a few hours in the lobby, and that night, they escaped with 22 gems worth $3 million in today’s prices. Among them, there are three rare gems: the Star of India, a 563.35 carat stone the size of a golf ball; The 100.32-carat DeLong Star ruby ​​and 116.75-carat dark purple Midnight sapphire – one of the largest black sapphires in the world. After collecting the loot, the thieves calmly passed a few policemen in the small park around the museum, then disappeared into the night. Murphy was sober enough to say hello to the officer. Then the thieves entered a jazz club, sipped cocktails. A veteran criminal who committed a series of burglaries in Miami, Murphy didn’t even bother to change his clothes. Indian Star. Photo: Wikipedia This elaborate heist started with stolen gems. The past of the Indian Star is always shrouded in mystery. This is a rounded pale green gemstone, 2 billion years old, 5cm in diameter, with a unique pattern like a 6-point star on the top and bottom, first discovered in Sri Lanka in the 1700s but forever 200 years later history will be marked. In the late 19th century, American philanthropist and financier JP Morgan hired gem collector George Kunz to buy a set of gems. The Indian star was among the jewels in the collection that Mr. Morgan later donated to the museum. There is so much lost information about many things in museums and especially in private collections, says Erin L. Thompson, a professor of art criminology at John Jay University in New York. Their owners did not specify their previous owners. No one knew about the journey of the Star of India and its owners until it was in the hands of George Kunz. Another mystery of this stone is why it is called the Star of India, and not the Star of Ceylon, the old name for Sri Lanka. DeLong Star ruby ​​red purple with 6 lines, originating from Myanmar, at that time was considered the most perfect ruby ​​in the world. An American named Edith Haggin DeLong donated the gem to the museum after buying it from collector Martin Leo Ehrmann in 1937 for the equivalent of $390,000 today. Ehrmann travels the world looking for rare and expensive jewelry, but the origins of the pieces in his collection are still unknown. There is no information on the sale and valuation of the DeLong Star ruby. US agents free Murphy (centre) after he was arrested in Miami. Photo: Getty Images The morning after the theft, James Oliver, the director of the American Museum of Natural History, was pulling his teeth when the museum staff discovered the theft. New York’s 20th police squad arrived at the scene just after 10 a.m. when informed. They found fingerprints and opened an investigation. The museum immediately closed. At first, investigators discovered that the thieves acted very carefully. When handling the box of large gems, they applied tape strips all over the circle of glass to be cut to prevent the glass from breaking and falling. Then they beat with a rubber mallet. With the next two boxes, they change their ways, just breaking the box and getting the jewels. The scene of the theft. Photo: Getty Images Officials say the thieves are unprofessional when estimating the value of the gems. They had forsaken a precious box of sapphires in favor of diamonds and emeralds of much less value. In addition, stolen rare gems cannot be sold because they are too popular. A plainclothes police officer tracked down staff at the nearby Cambridge House hotel, saying that the trio of thieves had recently thrown a grand party in an expensive room. After obtaining a search warrant and raiding the room, detectives discovered drugs, museum plans and books about gems. As police were searching the room, Roger Clark entered, saying that Murphy and Kuhn had flown to Miami. These two men were arrested two days after the theft and taken to New York. However, because there were no witnesses and no physical evidence, the case became groundless. Kuhn and Murphy were soon released on meager bail. District Attorney Marurice Nadjari started looking for other crimes committed by these guys to get a reason to detain them or at least get them to pay higher bail. Searching through old files, he found evidence to imprison two thieves. Kuhn when he was arrested in Miami in 1964. Photo: Getty Images While flying back to New York for the trial, Kuhn and Murphy were accused of strangling a woman to steal jewelry from a Miami hotel a few months earlier. That woman turned out to be the famous Hungarian actress Eva Gabor. The guarantee is now up to 100,000 USD. Gabor later did not sue, but the incident was enough for these two men to sit behind bars and be forced to negotiate. Sitting in jail, Kuhn told Mr. Nadjari that he could bring back the gems if he let him go to Miami alone. Not believing, on January 5, 1965, Nadjari and three plainclothes staff were on the same flight as Kuhn. After a series of phone calls and countless delays, they received instructions to find the locker keys at the Northeast Miami Trailways bus stop. Not long after arriving at the bus stop, a detective named Richard Maine returned with two soggy bags containing nine gems. These two bags were stuffed in Kuhn’s boat in Biscayne Bay. The gems are on display again at the museum, this time better protected. However, the DeLong Star ruby ​​is still missing. The thieves confessed to the crime and spent about two years at the Rikers Island prison in New York. The following September, a third party personally negotiated with a holder of the DeLong Star. Billionaire John D MacArthur paid a ransom of $25,000, or $200,000 at today’s prices, and the stone was recovered from a phone booth in Florida. Later, a man named Duncan Pearson was convicted in connection with the crime of hiding the ruby. However, several other gems were never found. For example, the Eagle diamond, a gem that was first discovered by a well digger in 1876 near the town of Eagle in Wisconsin, USA. It is thought that this diamond was cut into many small pieces, making the natural masterpiece forever disappear. Murphy did not change after serving his prison term in 1967. His crimes went beyond theft, becoming more cruel and violent. In 1969, he was found guilty of murdering two women who were accomplices in the theft of stocks and bonds worth $500,000 (equivalent to $4 million today). During a boat trip in Florida, a female accomplice threatened to accuse Murphy and his accomplice Jack Griffith if they did not share a larger amount. Both women were then beaten to death with batons, and their bodies were thrown into the sea. Murphy was convicted again and spent 17 years in Florida State Prison. While in prison, he began to minister with other inmates, preaching about atonement. In 1986, he was released and spent the rest of his life preaching to prisoners.

After the contest ends Miss Universe, Miss Khanh Van flew to New York to do some personal work. She quickly took a series of photos posing in the middle of the most famous city in America to show off to her fans.

However, at that time, Hendrix did not think about the expensive living in New York, ranked 3rd in the 10 cities with the highest spending and housing prices in the world, according to research by consulting firm ECA International . While many friends move to more remote boroughs like Brooklyn or Queens to save money, Hendrix insists on living alone in midtown Manhattan. However, with a small amount of money provided by her parents, this 21-year-old girl can only live in a micro apartment. In New York, micro houses are only about 4.5-9 m2 wide and are usually suitable for single people. Hendrix found a 7 square meter apartment in the West Village for $1,345 a month. “The building is in the heart of the city, has fire exits and is the perfect space for a recent college graduate like me.” Liv Hendrix’s 7 square meter room. Micro-houses appeared in the US since 1987. However, after the Covid-19 pandemic broke out, these few m2 apartments became a trend. The majority of tenants are low-income groups or young single people. In New York, since 2015, the city government has been testing the My Micro NY micro-apartment model at 27th Street, Brooklyn Navy Yard in the Manhattan district. 22 out of 55 micro apartments are for low-income people. The remaining apartments are subject to commercial rents of over 3,000 USD/month. Make the most of every space In the small room, Hendrix’s bed took up most of the space. So during the day, she often doubles the bed, stacking extra mattresses and pillows around to turn it into a couch. This way helps Hendrix have more living and working space and correct the habit of sleeping in every morning. She had thought about using the attic as a place to sleep. “However, this option is not feasible because I am afraid that the attic will not support the weight or I may roll down at any time.” The kitchen area right next to the bed is where Hendrix does everything from brushing his teeth and washing his face to cooking, making coffee and washing dishes. “Although it’s a bit inconvenient, I still can’t get rid of the habit of drinking coffee every morning. I have to stand on top of the refrigerator to get coffee, water heater and make drinks right under the sink because there is no space at the counter.” . Without a closet, Liv Hendrix hangs clothes on a drying rack, hangs bags and shoes on the wall. After breakfast, Hendrix also cooked food for the day and cleaned the sink to use for other things. The 7 m2 room has no room for a wardrobe. Hendrix had to buy 2 drying racks to hang clothes for work. And her pajamas, underwear, accessories… were stored in a big box by her. All shoes and bags are hung on the wall by Hendrix. “Doing that gives both room and decoration.” The toilet and bathroom areas are also extremely cramped. Hendrix said she couldn’t put on makeup in the bathroom because there wasn’t enough light and storage. “One thing that annoys me is that the bathroom floor is always wet. I use the shower to shower in the morning but by the afternoon the floor is still not dry.” Do not receive guests at home Hendrix estimates his apartment can accommodate up to three guests, but with the condition, they can only sit still on the bed. Because of this inconvenience, she hardly ever invites guests to her house. “I have two friends who live downstairs, but we mostly meet in their more spacious room. If it feels too crowded, we can go down the street or to the park near our house.” Hendrix says the apartment’s central location is both a plus and a downside. The most obvious benefit is ease of movement. The Hendrix residence is full of everything from convenience stores, restaurants to parks, cinemas, and entertainment areas. View of New York City from Liv Hendrix’s apartment. “When the weather is nice, I like to sit for hours at Washington Square park. It’s so close to my apartment that it feels like a backyard. I also love living near the famous restaurants.” However, noise is one of the biggest minus points of the apartment. The space is not soundproof, making the noises from the traffic and the street seem to be amplified at night. “I have to play loud music to drown out the noise, but on terrible nights I have to use earplugs.” Hendrix says that micro apartments are definitely not the perfect choice. One day, she will also dream of houses with large living rooms, full refrigerators, wardrobes… However, small spaces also have their own advantages. “I have learned to keep only the items that are really necessary, limit shopping. In addition, I also find decoration very important because it can turn the apartment into my real home. “.

Matt Mckeon said that although New York has been reopened to normal, “all should still be careful to wear masks in indoor spaces with many people until the pandemic is really over.” Many big-name shopping centers such as Target, CVS, Walmart or Starbucks coffee shop chain have officially applied this newly changed regulation. However, state officials also asserted that New York businesses have the right to have their own policies and continue to require their employees to wear masks if necessary. The New York City Department of Health still recommends that people wear masks in indoor spaces when it is unclear whether those around them have been vaccinated or not, but specifically at stores, gyms, and pharmacies. hairdressing or other health care and beauty services. If the situation continues to turn in a positive direction, Governor Cuomo said he will allow the application of social distancing in small indoor spaces such as Broadway musicals before June 19.

He plans to come here in mid-May, when vaccinations are more complete. While it may not be possible to experience some of the city’s famous activities, Cooper says there’s still a lot to see and do. “New York doesn’t seem to have died. This time, I can’t watch Broadway shows and dine outside of restaurants, but it’s a small price to pay for safety during the pandemic,” he said. Slowly recovering Even as most of the art, dining and entertainment life that characterizes New York reopens, the future of work culture, as well as the fate of millions of square feet of office space, remains uncertain. .

This used to be a prime location that helped him sell about 500 cups of coffee a day. Now, he only sells about 30 cups. “This place is deserted, there are no people,” Naveed explained. During the pandemic, one store after another seemed to be empty. The sector is recovering fast, but it is still far behind. However, between May 2020 and February 2021, 67% of retail jobs, including restaurants, returned to New York state, according to the New York state executive’s office.

The number of apartments for rent in New York City is more than double what it was before the pandemic, while maintaining low prices, data from real estate firm StreetEasy shows. StreetEasy economist Nancy Wu said: “The increase in remote work has changed the minds of many renters. Instead of seriously looking for apartments in Manhattan with a short drive to the office, they can afford to explore a host of other neighborhoods in boroughs that might not have been considered before.” Donovan Davis, 24, of Staten Island, waited in line in front of the Supreme store on Bowery Street for about 15 minutes to view the new spring collection and purchase the backpack. Davis was recently vaccinated. Stuck at home for the past year, he didn’t really want to shop until now. “The weather is warming up. I finally started going out and shopping.” Donovan Davis outside the Supreme store in New York on April 30. He only goes out shopping when he is vaccinated. Photo: Misyrlena Egkolfopoulou/Bloomberg. New Yorkers used to not appreciate the crowdedness of the city. The subway isn’t as busy as it used to be. But David felt the city was still alive and slowly returning to normal. “Every time I go out, it’s nice to see that there are still so many people there,” he said.

This is not the first time New York City has “declared war” on the giants of the oil industry.

It’s filled with old furniture – about 10,000 books, 300 framed photos, some old computers and a filing cabinet. The space was so messy that the owner of the apartment stumbled across a mess and died amidst the garbage. Specialist team cleaning up for expensive New York apartments. Photo: Stefano Giovannini. The task for Toscano (45 years old) and colleagues is to clean this expensive apartment quietly to save face for the deceased owner. Share with New York Post “That man may have a reputation so they don’t want to make a fuss of death,” said the “special” cleaning staff in high-end buildings around the city. “What’s more, often the apartment management doesn’t want residents to panic when they see what’s inside the neighbors’ homes. Too bad you pay tons of money for a nice apartment and smell strange things from the next door, ”he added. 18 tons of household waste Recently, Toscano was hired to help a 90-year-old man handle the pile of books, papers, boxes, clothes and jewelry piled up inside the luxurious 3-bedroom apartment in the residential West Central Park. “Every corner is a mess. It takes 18 tons of trash in this expensive apartment, ”he recalls. The apartment was once filled with rubbish, pizza boxes and drug equipment before Toscano’s team arrived to move it for four days. Toscano says his company, which is a Queens-county branch of the Clutter Free Junk Removal Service and Cleanup Pros, handles such cases “once a week, sometimes two”. The most difficult part for this “special” cleaning team is that the building managers often ask them to “work discreetly” to avoid panicking the neighbors. That is equivalent to hiding the logo on the uniform, as well as keeping the information they throw away. “We have our own trash so people can’t see what’s being thrown away. We just need to try to speed up the schedule and get the trash out of the apartment quickly, ”Toscano said. However, that is almost impossible to do, as was the case 1.5 years ago in a South Central Park residential apartment building. That day, Toscano’s group had to demolish the floor of an apartment left behind by the mess of tenants – including countless stacks of papers several meters high and piles of bugs and bed bugs.

Toscano said the most expensive deal he has ever been in charge of is about $ 40,000 for a home in the state of New Jersey. Here, his team had to remove 16 tons of trash and repaint the entire house. More than work For Toscano, the interesting thing about this job is that he gets to “see the beauty of a luxury apartment” once he has dealt with the huge mess. His company also regularly receives calls from relatives to search for belongings. Therefore, in addition to discarding the furniture, they also carefully classify and store some of the belongings obtained from the apartment, in case someone wants to get it back. A New York resident who used to use the Toscano service said: “They are very focused on their work. The group of 6 of them entered the house, divided in charge of each room and cleaned according to the pre-assigned schedule ”. Toscano is often excited to see the beauty of an expensive apartment after the cleaning. Toscano said this job is more than cleaning because he himself likes to help people. In addition, he also often tells the landlord to leave during group work. “When they get back, they’re going to go crazy like ‘Wow, I can’t believe this place is home,'” he said. The hoarding disorder, which affects 2-6% of the American adult population, has no financial limits, according to the report New York Post. “Normally, when storing luxury goods, like buying 500 Prada handbags, people ‘convince themselves’ that it’s not hoarding but collecting,” said Dr. Dena Rabinowitz, director of the Institute of the Mind.
