Mr. Bloomberg’s third term as mayor ends at the close of 2013, and speculation about his political intentions has been a longstanding parlor game in New York and Washington. He has often been talked about as a candidate for higher office, including the presidency, or as a potential nominee for a high-level national appointment. But the possibility of Mr. Bloomberg’s becoming a member of the Obama administration did not come up during the lunch, according to people close to the mayor and the president.

The upper East Side’s Nectar Coffee Shop has served the mayor his morning joe for the past decade, but city Health Department inspectors gave it a B grade two months ago.

“When the inspector comes, it was during breakfast,” [the manager], 36, told the Daily News on Sunday. “Everyone is running around, back and forth. I got a ticket for having a cracked egg in the refrigerator.”

[The victim] said the officer who frisked him [ . . . ] was “really aggressive,” especially when grabbing around his crotch area. He felt violated. The search of his car came up empty, but the cops issued [the victim] a summons for parking in front of a fire hydrant. [The victim] took down [the officer’s] badge number and later filed a complaint with the Civilian Complaint Review Board.

[The victim] said he felt validated, but it doesn’t stop him from worrying about being stopped again.

City investigators have discovered evidence of large-scale fraud in one of the agencies leading Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg’s signature initiative to find jobs for unemployed New Yorkers.

The news is also troubling for Seedco, a well-regarded nonprofit organization that has stood at the heart of many of the mayor’s initiatives, including job placement and cash grants for welfare clients, and loan programs for small businesses and entrepreneurs.

The owners of most of the establishments listed in the “Syrian Locations of Concern Report” told The Daily News Friday they are neither Syrian nor Muslim.

“Honestly, I’m really surprised anybody would be spying on me,” he said. “We just cut hair.”
