The majority of the New York City Council members are new, and are part of a class that is the most diverse and progressive in city history. Over the next year Brian Lehrer will get to know all 51 members. This week, Councilmember Julie Menin talks about her priorities for District 5, which includes the neighborhoods of Yorkville, Lenox Hill, Carnegie Hill, Roosevelt Island, Midtown East, Sutton Place, and El Barrio in East Harlem.

CM @JulieMenin's "show & tell" from district 5 is the Palacsinta from Budapest Cafe on 2nd Ave - a vestige of NYC's "Little Hungary" where her mother & grandmother settled. So significant personally & also as an immigrant-owned small biz in her district. pic.twitter.com/SeuCZJ7vRb
