## Resource

New York City’s DOT just revealed 20 high-traffic days through the end of 2026—expect gridlock, speeds slower than a brisk walk, and major street closures. Starting this week with the UN General Assembly, these dates include holidays and other big events, with Midtown traffic potentially grinding to a halt. Commissioner Mike Flynn urges drivers to leave their cars at home and use transit, biking, or plan ahead. Congestion pricing is part of the solution—but if you’re driving, check the list and avoid the chaos. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
