About this episode
Welcome to NYC Now, your source for local news in and around New York City with host Janae Pierre. Just this one episode today. ‘Tis the holiday season.
First, today is the deadline for New York City restaurants to take down their street dining sheds. Secondly, New York City has more than 660-thousand street trees and this fall's drought has left many dangerously dehydrated. And after the break, lithium-ion batteries -the long, rectangular batteries used in e-bikes- have become a fiery threat in New York City. Sean Carlson recently spoke with FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker and Chief Fire Marshall Dan Flynn about the danger.
