## Resource

World Cup fever hits the American Dream mall with epic watch parties, while NYC still celebrates the Knicks’ championship with a colorful subway entrance tribute. But beneath the excitement, a grim reality: 21 New Yorkers died from heat last year — the deadliest in a decade. Meanwhile, rapper-turned-candidate Anthony Constantino is making waves in NY’s 21st District with bold political takes. And in NJ, former Giants star Victor Cruz’s new Krystal burger spot is drawing mixed reviews — but hey, someone’s gotta eat. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
