He made the remarks Monday to New York Congressman Peter King. The two men spoke in front of reporters outside the funeral of former New York City Mayor Ed Koch. Clinton said his wife h...

An organist played "New York, New York," the iconic ballad made famous by Frank Sinatra, in a Manhattan synagogue Monday as the former mayor's oak coffin was carried past thousands of mourners, concluding a funeral that recalled the quintessential New Yorker's...

At the service Monday morning at Manhattan's Temple Emanu-El, mourners will also hear about Koch's other fierce loyalty: Israel. The Israeli consul general is set to...

Riots erupted that summer during a blackout. And a fire in one of the most blighted, bombed-out parts of town that fall led Howard Cosell to announce during a World Series game at Yankee Stadium: "Ladies and gentlemen, the Bronx is burning." Into that mess stepped Ed Koch a...

Koch was funny, irritable, opinionated, often rude and prone to yelling. And it worked, for a while at least. With a Bronx-born combination of chutzpah and humor, Koch steered New York back from the brink of financial ruin and infused the city with ...

I will get a better job, he would reply, but you won't get a better mayor. The story is often offered as emblematic of the Koch bravura, illustrative of his shtick, ...

It's a key principle in politics, and apparently in musical theater, too. In the 1940s Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia saved the building that would become New York City Center from the wrecking ball. And so in 1994, when the Encores! series began there, it opened with a revival of "Fiorello!," the 1959 musical abou...

The majestic Beaux Arts building, which carries the official name of Grand Central Terminal, is one of the world's most popular tourist dest...

In three tumultuous terms as mayor in the late 1970s and '80s, Koch dealt with fiscal problems, racial unrest and corruption scandals, always asking his constituents "How'm I doin?" And even after his days in office were over, in a whirlwind...

Koch's cardiologist wanted to keep a closer eye on the 88-year-old, who was also showing an iron deficiency, spokesman George Arzt said.

The city Department of Transportation says all the signs will be removed by the end of the year. According to The New York Times (http://nyti.ms/117Avza ), city officials say the decision is part of an effort to de-clutter t...
