Today's Big Stories

1. New Yorkers gather to watch the partial solar eclipse

New Yorkers and out-of-town visitors gathered across the city this afternoon to take in the partial solar eclipse.

2. New York appeals judge rejects Trump’s request to delay his April 15 hush money trial

A New York appeals court judge today rejected Donald Trump's bid to delay his April 15 hush money criminal trial while he fights to move the case out of Manhattan — foiling the former president’s latest attempt to put off the historic trial.

Justice Lizbeth González of the state’s mid-level appeals court made her ruling after an emergency hearing where Trump's lawyers asked to postpone the trial indefinitely while they seek a change of venue. Trump was seeking an emergency stay, a court order that would prevent the trial from starting on time.

3. Pay-by-plate parking meters to replace paper receipts in NYC

As Earth Day approaches, the city’s Department of Transportation knows it’s not getting every car off the street, but it is taking another long-term approach to helping the environment with new pay-by-plate parking meters.

The new parking meters will work like the Park NYC app, with plate and payment information going to traffic agents' handheld devices.

4. New York lawmakers pass another state budget extender through Thursday

6. Actor Jonathan Majors sentenced to probation, avoiding jail time for assaulting ex-girlfriend

7. New York Libertarian Party launches petition drive to get on the presidential ballot
