About this episode
The upcoming special election to fill George Santos' seat is poised to be the first test of a new state law allowing early voting by mail. WNYC's Brigid Bergin reports it's a major expansion of how voters can participate in a contest with national implications. Heads up for drivers, only one Staten Island-bound lane of traffic will be open on a section of the BQE late Thursday night due to maintenance.
Plus, a bull is on the run and it’s tying up New Jersey Transit service. Finally, we check in with Eater New York food writers Robert Sietsema, Emma Orlow and Luke Forntey who helped pick the winners of its 2023 Eater Award for New York City, including Best New Restaurant, Biggest Surprise and "The Restaurant Where We'd be Regulars.
