New York City Gen Zers are moving to this Pennsylvania valley home to ‘Christmas City USA’

New York’s youngest movers have a surprising favorite escape, and it isn’t Jersey City, Philly or Austin. According to U-Haul’s latest migration report , the top destination for Gen Zers leaving the New York City area is Pennsylvania’s Lehigh Valley, the region that’s home to Allentown, Easton and Bethlehem, better known as “Christmas City USA.” What U-Haul found For its 2026 Midyear Migration Trends report, U-Haul analyzed one-way truck rentals from July 2025 through June 2026 and sorted them by generation, to see where people at different stages of life are actually moving. For New York City’s Gen Z renters, the top five net-gain destinations were: Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton (the Lehigh Valley) Harrisburg-Carlisle, Pennsylvania Toronto Houston Los Angeles The Lehigh Valley isn’t just a Gen Z thing, either. It also ranked No. 3 for the city’s Millennials . And the valley really is getting younger. Its population of 18- to 34-year-olds grew by nearly 9,000 between 2020 and 2024 , putting both Lehigh and Northampton counties in the top 10% of U.S. counties for young-adult growth, according to the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation . “The growing and talented population, particularly that of young people, is the secret sauce,” LVEDC CEO Don

Whatever Happened to W.T. Grant Stores in New York?

W.T. Grant stores disappeared in 1976 after the once-enormous variety-store chain went bankrupt and liquidated its remaining locations. The company filed for protection from creditors in October 1975, but its attempt to continue operating failed. By the following spring, the familiar Grants signs were coming down across New York and the rest of the country. The collapse ended a business that had started with one Massachusetts store in 1906 and grown into a nationwide chain with more than a thousand locations.

In 1891, a Vanderbilt heir built a grand 57th Street mansion; 135 years later, its $42M sale clears the way for a 1,100-foot luxury supertall

New York City is set to lose another piece of its Gilded Age history. One of the last surviving mansions from Midtown Manhattan’s historically grand residential era has just sold for a remarkable $42 million. This latest sale calls the future of the building and its surrounding area into question, as plans for a luxury development begin to emerge. The Schieffelin-Bowne House, located at 35 West 57th Street, was purchased by developer Sedesco from the Soloviev Group in a transaction that was recorded on October 29, 2026, according to The New York Post . Dating back to 1891, the five-story Beaux-Arts mansion is a distant reminder of how the wealthy families once called this stretch of Manhattan home. Unfortunately, its interesting history may not be enough to save it. While demolition plans have been approved for the property by the NYC Department of Buildings, no demolition date has been communicated publicly. A glimpse into NYC’s Gilded Age past It’s hard to imagine today, but West 57th Street was once a luxurious residential neighborhood, filled with many grand homes belonging to Manhattan’s wealthiest families. During the Gilded Age, Manhattan’s elite families built grand private residences along the avenue, showcasing their fortunes
