Hillary Clinton at "Beyond Suffrage" at the Museum of the City of New York

• Hillary Clinton stopped by the "Beyond Suffrage: A Century of New York Women in Politics" show at the Museum of the City of New York–and got to see her own Oscar de la Renta pantsuit that she wore when she was sworn in as New York's junior senator. [Museum of the City of New York Instagram]

• Suburban commuters who park their cars in residential neighborhoods before heading to work in midtown may have to rethink how they travel.
