New York has always been a city built on hope.
From immigrants crossing oceans, to Black families moving north during the Great Migration, to Puerto Rican communities building new lives—this city has long been a place where people come searching for possibility.

In this episode, recorded live during Zoran Mamdani’s inauguration and block party, we talk directly to New Yorkers about what hope means to them right now. What they want to see change. Who they want the city to work for. And whether New York still feels like a place where anything is possible.

This isn’t punditry. It’s voices from the street—capturing a city in motion, at a moment that feels bigger than politics.
