🌱 The Mets' Season Ends + Meet NYC's Subway Performers

Good morning, New York City! Happy Columbus Day and Indigenous People's Day!

• Last night didn't go so well for The Mets.
• Patch introduces you to 3 of New York City's subway performers.
• Two people were shot outside the home of Congressman and Republican candidate for Governor Lee Zeldin.

But first, today's weather:

Sunny to partly cloudy. High: 66 Low: 50.

📢 I’m looking for business owners and marketers in New York City who want to build awareness, connect with customers and increase sales.

I have a limited number of sponsorships available to introduce our New York City Daily readers to local businesses they need to know about. If that’s you, then I invite you to learn more and secure your spot now.

Here are the top five stories today in New York City:

1. The Mets lost 6-0 to the San Diego Padres in an at-home game Sunday night, ending their season and ending the chances of another subway series this year. On Tuesday The Yankees will take on the Cleveland Patriots. (New York Post)
2. Two people were shot outside of Long Island congressman and Republican candidate for governor Lee Zeldin's home on Sunday afternoon. Zeldin said the people were found under his porch and in the bushes in front of his house, while his teenage daughters were home. (New York City Patch)
3. Some sheriffs in Upstate New York say they will not aggressively enforce the state's recently enacted gun laws, prohibiting firearms in sensitive locations. They follow a trend across the country of law enforcement officials not enforcing policies they disagree with. (Subscription/The New York Times)
4. Meet 3 of New York City's subway performers, who spend their days singing, jamming on the guitar, or playing a musical saw in The Big Apple's underground caverns. “I love it, even if I had a contract and was making millions of dollars, I would still do it,”one singer, SHESHE, from Tennessee, told Patch. (New York City Patch)
5. A large development in The Bronx, known as the Bruckner rezoning, is likely to pass the City Council after gaining the support of local member Marjorie Velázquez, who had previously voiced opposition. The rezoning would bring 349 housing units to the low-density neighborhood, although some local residents are still against the project. (THE CITY)

• Plans to add civilian workers to the Department of Corrections appear to have stalled after being announced back in June. Currently, staffing shortages have left many corrections officers assigned to office and clerical work. At times they're given those 'cushy' assignments away from inmates as favors. (THE CITY)
• Fake heiress Anna Sorokin, who's life is the basis for the Netflix series Inventing Anna, was released from ICE detention to house arrest in an apartment in the East Village on Friday. Her immigration case is still pending, but the 31-year-old isn't giving up. (Subscription/The New York Times) (Free/NBC New York)
