Being a barfly can land you on the “no-fly.” Knocking back a few brews, shots or bubbles before takeoff may sound like a sweet way to take the edge off.

In the headlines on #TheUpdate this Monday, jury selection is beginning today in the criminal trial of the U.S. Marine Corps veteran charged with manslaughter for placing a man in a deadly chokehold on a New York City subway train last year. The Vessel, a towering, honeycomb-like sculpture in Manhattan that was popular with tourists before a series of suicides forced its closure in 2021, will reopen today with new safety features.
