More than two weeks have passed since Occupy Wall Street's flagship encampment was cleared from Zuccotti Park.  Part of me misses the 24-hour spectacle of signs, songs, debates, tarps and kitchen queues.  Through the fall, I planned my schedule to include visits to lower Manhattan, knowing I would always find ...

In an effort to entrench themselves in the city's neighborhoods, anti-Wall Street protesters held events throughout the city this weekend — including a meeting in downtown Brooklyn and at a food court in a Staten Island mall.

Protesters with Occupy Wall Street have begun erecting all-weather tents at their encampment in Zuccotti Park to get ready for winter.

Occupy Wall Street protesters say they represent the 99 percent of the population that’s not wealthy. It’s a big percentage, and includes all kinds of people and income levels. But while Occupy Wall Street may have sparked a global protest, the message has failed to resonate in some of New York’s poorest communities.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said the recent violence that erupted in Oakland stemming from anti-Wall Street protests won't be repeated in New York.

Having raised approximately half a million dollars, Occupy Wall Street now sits atop more wealth than most protesters ever expected — presenting some opportunities for organizers, as well as some challenges.

The city has removed hundreds of police barricades from the Financial District, a day after local politicians complained to Mayor Michael Bloomberg about them. Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and others said they were a nuisance to those who live and work downtown.

As the weather gets colder, Occupy Wall Street protesters are fighting to get back generators the Fire Department took out of Zuccotti Park last week. At the same, the Working Families Party is circulating a petition asking Mayor Michael Bloomberg to help protesters survive the winter.

Seemingly tailor-made for protesters, new statistics from the non-partisan Congressional Budget Office show after-tax income grew more for the top 1 percent than it has for anyone else since 1979.

One of the most noticeable features of the Occupy Wall Street protest is the decentralized structure and lack of central leaders. Decisions are made at daily General Assembly meetings. But, in fact, hundreds of smaller decisions aren't made at those gatherings, but happen off site.

It is at times like this that Mayor Michael Bloomberg must be wondering, yet again, why it was that he wanted a third term. The Occupy Wall Street protest is a headache for him. The world is watching and he is the man in charge of the city. If he antagonizes the protesters, he could wind up with a riot on his hands. If he lets them continue to protest, he looks weak and indecisive.

Visitors to the Occupy Wall Street website tend to be young, identified as Independents and make less than $50,000 a year, according to a recent unscientific survey conducted in collaboration with the group’s organizers.

Within a month the anti-Wall Street protests have gone from novelty status to the subject of serious debate — with even President Barack Obama weighing in and Mayor Michael Bloomberg expressing sympathy for their cause.

The high-ranking NYPD supervisor who used pepper spray on anti-Wall Street protesters near Union Square last month violated department guidelines when he used pepper spray on Occupy Wall Street protesters last month, police sources confirmed to WNYC.

Mayor Michael Bloomberg said Monday that the Occupy Wall Street protests have no place in his bedroom.
