Mamdani just brings so much joy back to the city. Just something to make you smile. The Pool Is Open! [View all]

New York City residents are celebrating the reopening of public pools â€” including Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who jumped into the water while wearing a suit at an East Harlem pool on Saturday.

Outdoor public pools will be open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. every day through Sept. 13.
