Good Wednesday morning in New York City, where things are going to get more expensive.
Here's what else is happening:
- A bunch of Manhattan lawmakers really don't want the Trump Organization to regain control of Central Park's Wollman Rink.

- "Friends sometimes wonder why Commissioner Tisch works at all."
- Billy Joel gave $50,000 to a Super PAC supporting Andrew Cuomo's mayoral bid.
- E-bikes have brought freedom and fun times to a massive Amish settlement in Ohio — but at what spiritual cost?
- Now more than ever, people are googling "how to pronounce Chappell Roan."
- Bon Iver is hosting a basketball tournament.
