The city unveiled Mayor Eric Adams’ controversial tent city on Tuesday — detailing how migrants staying there will be given three meals a day, fluff-and-fold laundry service and an array of entertainment including TV and video games.
“This is a place people can come, rest, relax and kick their feet up after the journey they have been on,” Emergency Management Commissioner Zach Iscol told reporters at the facility on Randall’s Island.
An initial wave of 500 single men is slated to start moving in on Wednesday after arriving from Texas at the Port Authority Bus Terminal in Midtown Manhattan.
But while Iscol called it “a short-term solution for people to figure out what their next destination will be,” officials acknowledged that no one would get kicked out for staying beyond a goal of just four days.
“Our focus is to get you where you want to go and not put a numerical limit in terms of number of hours to restrict anything,” Dr. Ted Long, a senior vice president at NYC Health + Hospitals, said in response to a question from The Post.
Adams has said previously said that no deadline would be imposed in part because the city is struggling with a shortage of shelter space due to the ongoing flood of migrants, which reached 20,500 arrivals on Sunday.
Some aspects of the set-up seem designed to encourage long-term occupancy, including the rotating menu of grub cooked on-site in a fully equipped commercial kitchen.
“Those meals are all culturally appropriate. It is South American fare,” Iscol said.
“The folks have already been providing food, which is great. Crews, including myself, have been eating it for the past couple of weeks.”
In addition, snacks will be provided and coffee, tea and water will be available around the clock.

My point is NOT against them at all. It is to show another type of worker who migrated-——not the current entitlement hog trough slurpers in NYC.
No offense intended in any way to genuine displaced Okies bck then.
And— their own bed?
Do they have to get vaxxed?
This is INSANE!! I am speechless.
My first question is, why does Randall’s Island have 75 ball fields?
Was just talking about this, today.
Take a vacation to the beach, get a tan, learn some Spanish lingo.
401ks have taken a big hit and, with inflation, SS won’t help much.
Worth a shot.
Probably even get a free phone!
Te veré allí
Start more camps like this for working age male layabouts. Run genetic tests on them. Harvest them when we can transplant their organs. Cut out the Chicom middlemen. Once word gets out, less will show up here. A win-win!
What happens when Randalls Island gets a foot of snow in January?
A lot of homless here and more everyday. I am sure some of them have also thought of doing the same thing.j
Totally sickening
Ironic. I moved from Kalifornistan to Oklahoma, and the above diet is still preferred. In fact, their three basic food groups are salt, sugar and fat.
Needless to say, I don't eat out much.
History article said “and the new residents of California forever influenced and changed the state.”
