This New York Bakery Still Makes Italian Pastries The Old-School Way, From Cannoli To Fresh Focaccia

Your cannoli should not be filled until you actually order it. That’s a pretty reasonable argument, and one Bronx bakery has been making it with ricotta cream for ages. Shells sitting around full of filling? You may want to give that another thought. The story behind the counter is...

Where to Find the Best Pastrami Sandwiches in New York City

As someone who was born and raised in New York City, I’ve eaten a lot of pastrami sandwiches in my life. Delicatessens have always been a huge part of New York culture, right up there with our pizzerias and bagel stores. There aren’t as many traditional Jewish delis as there used to be. Neighborhoods have changed, families have moved, and some famous establishments have closed. But the pastrami sandwich is still one of the great New York foods, and a handful of old names continue to attract people from all over the city and the world.

A Classic Puerto Rican Lunch Counter Still Shines in East Harlem

The last time I ate at Lechonera La Isla was about five years ago, when the guy who I only ever knew as Hector was still running the place. This was during that pre-vax pandemic winter of 2021, and the masked-up chef and owner piled on his steam-table delights from behind sheets of cheap plexiglass. It was a grim era to be sure, and I had to "picnic" in a snow-covered pocket park nearby, but man did it make me happy to tuck into Hector's overflowing platters of Puerto Rican classics.

The three-screen theater at 1001 Third Avenue, between East 59th and East 60th Streets, held its final screenings on Thursday, October 29, and the closure took effect the next day. The farewell notice kept it short, but it ended on a sweet note: “As our final credits roll, we thank you for being part of our story.” 64 years across from Bloomingdale’s The theater debuted in 1962 as Cinema I & II, described by 6sqft as the first twin-screen cinema in the country . A third screen arrived in the 1980s, and eventually the name became Cinema 123. Over the decades, its screens mixed independent, foreign and mainstream films, which made it a true neighborhood go-to.

Evicted Upper West Side Barn Owls Are Doing OK—For Now

Despite an unceremonious, sudden, and possibly illegal eviction, it seems like the young barn owls of upper Manhattan will be OK. A parliament of barn owls had been nested in a hole in the roof of the rickety water tower of an Upper West Side apartment building—but late last week, birders noticed workers doing construction on the roof of the water tower, destroying the nest that the owls had built.

These 7 Used Bookstores In New York Still Let $20 Fill An Entire Tote Bag

A twenty-dollar bill does not stretch very far in New York anymore. It barely covers lunch in some neighborhoods, and it certainly will not buy two new hardcovers. But walk into the right used bookstore, and that same twenty can still leave you hauling a heavy tote bag out the door. From an Upper East Side cellar to a rural book village in the Catskills, these shops keep the old idea of cheap, plentiful reading alive.
