From New York, the greatest city in the world, it's The Update with Brandon Julien! Today's road stop takes us to 34th Street and 1st Avenue, across the street from NYU Langone Health Center in Midtown.
Some stories talked about on today's show were:
1. New York City advised grocery stores Wednesday to require customers to cover their faces while shopping as officials said they would create an emergency food reserve and take other steps to safeguard residents’ sustenance. Meanwhile, the mayor urged a cautious and deliberative approach to reviving the economy.
2. Authorities say a New York City man has been arrested after he texted several friends that he was going to blow up a statue of Alice in Wonderland in Central Park with a pipe bomb. Prosecutors say 30-year-old Kevin Fallon was arrested Saturday after police found what appeared to be three pipe bombs in his apartment. The bombs turned out to be empty.
3. A celebrity branding company is seeking at least $10 million in a breach-of-contract lawsuit against Ayesha Curry, food and lifestyle personality and wife of NBA star Stephen Curry. Flutie Entertainment said in the suit filed Tuesday in Los Angeles that the five years it spent with Ayesha Curry brought “significant and unprecedented results,” including a Food Network show and bestselling cookbook.
