In a 10-2 vote after 8 p.m. Monday, the City Council confirmed Progressive Mayor Emma Mulvaney-Stanak’s appointment of Geraci, with Democratic councilors Becca Brown McKnight, Ward 6, and Evan Litwin, Ward 7, voting no. The mayor and the majority of the council vigorously defended Geraci’s record and welcomed him on board after the vote. Mulvaney-Stanak, who introduced him to the public at a morning press conference, said the hire is among the most consequential decisions for the city and as mayor. “Today marks what I hope will be the start of an important new chapter for the Queen City,” she said prior to the councilwide vote.

Nearby: Paris, NYFor half a century, Retromobile belonged exclusively to Paris. Neither a conventional auto show nor a concours d’élégance, but something sitting comfortably between the two, it has long been a fixture of the international car collector calendar. “It was born in Paris; it grew up in Paris,” Retromobile CEO Gérard Neveu told Observer. “This event has never traveled.” Until now, that is. Retromobile New York opens at the Javits Center for a four-day run next week—the first U.S. edition in the show’s history—with a roster of 200 exhibitors that includes international dealers and brokers, manufacturer heritage divisions, restorers, classic car clubs and museums. More than 300 storied vehicles will be on display, among them not only exceptional privately owned vintage automobiles but also cars from the Fast & Furious films, Batman and Ghostbusters franchises on loan from the Petersen Automotive Museum in L.A. and a survey of what Neveu calls “youngtimers” from the 1980s to 2000.
