Inside Tiro a Segno, the members-only NYC club with a gun range in the basement
It’s the only place in New York where you can take the gun and the cannoli. Secreted away behind the brick façades of three brownstones in Greenwich Village is the oldest Italian heritage club in the country, Tiro a Segno — a storied, members-only venue that has lavished cultural luminaries and political bigwigs with fine cuisine between rounds in the basement shooting range. “That is really an homage to our heritage, more than something that’s really current,” John Vincenti, the club’s vice president of operations, told The Post of the three-spot, 50-foot shooting gallery.

Federal judge hears challenges to NYC’s fee for drivers into Manhattan
NEW YORK (AP) — New York’s first-in-the-nation plan to levy a hefty toll on drivers entering much of traffic-choked Manhattan was the focus of a legal battle that played out in federal court Friday. A Manhattan judge heard arguments in lawsuits brought by unionized public school teachers and other New Yorkers seeking to put the brakes on the plan set to launch June 30. But U.S. District Court Judge Lewis Liman didn’t issue any decisions following the daylong hearing, where the central question was whether transportation officials have sufficiently thoroughly studied — and come up sufficient plans to address — the negative health and environmental effects of the toll. Most drivers in private cars, locals and tourists alike, heading into Manhattan south of Central Park should expect to pay about $15 during the daytime, with higher tolls for larger vehicles and lower rates for motorcycles and late-night entries into the city, according to the proposal finalized in March. Those who aren’t enrolled in a regional toll collection program will pay $22.50.
