mr. de blasio is expected to personally cover the costs of his trip, and he has no plans to hold events related to the national liberal coalition he founded this year, aides said. as has long been the case for mayoral vacations, the city will pay expenses for the mayor’s security detail .

in this current season, there’s another mayor. when i first read through the concepts i was like, “oh, so there’s another character, another actor. ” and they went, “no, no, no. you are also the mayor. ” it’s so fun to watch jonathan krisel explain this to me and i’m like, “okay. ” he’s like, “no, ” — it’s almost as if i was supposed to know — “you’re the mayor of austin, too. ” it makes complete sense to jonathan. i’m much more practical, he’s like no, no this is the way it’s gonna be. which, of course, gets me very excited because the idea of playing this other mayor — who is a stereotypical mayor from another time with a big mustache. it’s like he exists in the 1800s. but in our mind, in “portlandia’s” mind, he’s current. he’s a guy you would have seen on tv back in westerns from a long, long time ago. i mean, it’s fun. it’s silly and fun .

at a news conference on april 7, the mayor defended the hawaiian vacation. “i don’t see it as a violation of any law, any ethics rules, ” he said, because he had been told that the city official — greg meffert, the former chief of technology for new orleans — was paying for the trip, not the contractor .

even the president, whose job mr. bloomberg has at times compared to his own, does not try to hide his movements. on christmas day, for example, the public was told that barack obama skipped his morning workout, watched a basketball game on television and left his hawaiian vacation home at 3: 26 p. m. in a short - sleeve shirt and dark slacks. reporters who inquired about how mr. bloomberg spent the day were told this: no comment .

after budget squabbles with the city council and a bruising, largely disappointing legislative session in albany, mr. de blasio and his family are set to depart for the other side of the country on tuesday for an eight - day getaway .
but this year, along with chatter about the obamas’ recent vacation in nearby rancho mirage, the dry air crackled with the conflict that has arisen between the palm springs city council, populated by long - term full - time residents (including mayor robert moon), and proponents of the surging short - term vacation home rental market, empowered in the last several years by platforms like airbnb .
then the thunderclap: “going to new york next week for more meetings. ”
a mandatory sign - out sheet for the billionaire mayor? city hall seems apoplectic. but the clamor is unlikely to die down, largely because the mayor refuses to disclose where he and his top lieutenants were when his administration botched the cleanup of the christmas weekend blizzard, creating confusion about who was in charge .

mr. vallone, a democrat from queens, said his potential legislation would not require the mayor to disclose his whereabouts, but simply to acknowledge his absence and to name his designated fill - in. mr. vallone said his real anxiety was that the mayor might be away during a terrorist attack, when momentous decisions, like whether to lock down a neighborhood or shutter the subway system, must be made in seconds .
in a recent poll by the university of new orleans, mr. nagin was cited as one of the “biggest problems” for the city, coming in third after crime and education. just 24 percent of residents over all said they approved of the mayor, a drop from 31 percent the year before .

he said mr. bloomberg had earned his privacy. “the mayor is at work by 7: 15 most mornings, and entitled to hours off and a private life, ” mr. loeser said. “and whether he’s in bayside, bay ridge, or visiting his mom in the bay state, he’s always reachable and always in charge. ”
the mayor says his new mohawk hair style is in support of his sister who has cancer and did not want him, since he is a mayor, to shave his head like other family members did. finizio decided on a mohawk to support his sister' s fight .
still, the hyper - secrecy that surrounds mr. bloomberg’s comings and goings is highly unusual. mayor edward i. koch not only shared his vacation itineraries with the world, but also held teleconferences with the news media from wherever he was visiting. new york governors have routinely disclosed where they will spend their day, whether or not public events are scheduled. at his most coy, gov. david a. paterson alerted constituents that he was in suffolk county — clever code for the beachside villages of the hamptons .

now, however, that sense is coming to an end, after accusations arose in a civil lawsuit concerning city technology contracts. in a deposition, a former city official said he took a hawaiian vacation with mr. nagin and their families in 2004 that was paid for by a company whose owner did extensive business with the city through other companies. claims of other trips raising ethics questions were raised in later testimony .
“we want anyone who wants to move here part - time to use their vacation rental some of the time, ” mr. kors said. “what we don’t want is conversion of residential properties in a residential - zoned neighborhood to be used as a full - time short - term tourist lodge or motel. ”
“he is now being treated as mayors in new york city have historically been treated, ” said bill de blasio, the city’s public advocate, who under the city charter would become mayor if mr. bloomberg were incapacitated (or, theoretically, stuck indefinitely in the caribbean) .
gene russianoff, a staff lawyer at the new york public interest research group, said he sympathized with mr. vallone’s intention .
weiner two years after anthony d. weiner resigned from congress because of explicit twitter messages, he decided to run for mayor of new york city. that’s where the first - time documentary filmmakers josh kriegman and elyse steinberg came in, but the 2013 campaign they followed ended in anything but a glorious comeback. mr. weiner was undone this time by sexting revelations. the movie won the american documentary grand jury prize at sundance. and a. o. scott of the new york times has praised it for “a queasy irresistibility. ”
just south of trump tower, on 56th street, john goci stood inside his restaurant, il tinello, presiding over lunch service. it sits along a business corridor that was hurt by street closings and security checks that disrupted the area while mr. trump resided there as the president - elect. mr. goci was an outspoken critic at that time, when he lost about 30 percent of his business. but on monday he was not so much bracing for mr. trump’s possible return as shrugging over it .
mr. trump has returned to his hometown once since he became president in january, touching down for a handful of hours in a city that has at points convulsed with anti - trump acrimony: in may, he visited the westernmost edge of manhattan for a meeting with the australian prime minister aboard the intrepid, a decommissioned aircraft carrier that was turned into a museum .

tickled it turns out that people with a fetish for being tickled are — what else? — supersensitive. from new zealand, david farrier and dylan reeve’s documentary was meant to be lighthearted but turned into a nightmare, for the filmmakers, of intimidation and threatened lawsuits .
there have been several false alarms over the past months that mr. trump was imminently returning to the city. each time, the city has mustered .
last year, mr. de blasio’s administration billed the city $ 10, 116. 19 so that three of his staff members could accompany him in italy. the security costs for that trip — along with some other expenses like the mercedes van that the family traveled in — were not released .
increasingly, that answer seems, even to his closest allies, insufficient. during hearings about the blizzard, held by the city council, lawmakers struggled to determine who was in charge over the christmas weekend. under city law, when mr. bloomberg leaves the city, mayoral power falls to the public advocate, unless it is delegated to a deputy mayor .
love & friendship whit stillman turns his attention from privileged white manhattanites to privileged white 18th - century british folk in this jane austen adaptation (based on a little - known novella). kate beckinsale stars as a penniless young widow who escapes gossip by visiting relatives. as long as she’s there, she might as well look for a couple of husbands — one for her daughter, one for herself. with chloë sevigny .
