Carla Hall’s fried chicken spot Bumblebirds is set to close June 20. It was always meant to be a pop-up, but they initially billed it as a 6 month run, with the goal of making it permanent.

MONEY NEWS: @ChmnMendelson says he's found an additional $420 million in revenue to put towards the 2027 budget, which has seen $1 billion in cuts. Some $270 million would come from decoupling from the Trump tax cuts; another $150 million would come from the city's reserves.
