One of NYC’s final Gilded Age buildings sells for $42M — but is set for heartbreaking demolition

More than a century ago, New York’s wealthiest families built palatial mansions along West 57th Street, filling them with the splendor of the dazzling Gilded Age. Now, one of the last survivors of that vanished world has changed hands for a staggering $42 million — and could soon make way for a new monument to Manhattan’s immense wealth. The historic Schieffelin-Bowne House at 35 W. 57th St., a five-story Beaux-Arts mansion dating to 1891, has been sold to New York-based developer Sedesco, giving the firm essentially the final piece of a yearslong assemblage for a soaring luxury skyscraper on Billionaires’ Row.

Cinema 123 by Angelika , the Third Avenue theater that opened in 1962 as what’s been called the country’s first twin-screen cinema , has permanently closed after 64 years . 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. For generations of Upper East Siders, it was the easy plan: catch a movie across from Bloomingdale’s, grab dinner nearby, no trip downtown required.

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.

Brooklyn DA says Yonkers woman used fake license to get hospital PT job

A Yonkers woman who allegedly used a fake professional license and forged academic credentials to get a job as a physical therapist at a Brooklyn hospital has been indicted, the Brooklyn District Attorney's Office announced. Diamond Walker, 36, pleaded not guilty in Brooklyn Criminal Court on Monday, Nov. 2, to first-degree identity theft and other charges. Walker was hired at Kings County Hospital in March 2024. In a news release, the District Attorney's Office said she claimed in her job application that she was a licensed physical therapist and that she had a master's degree in athletic training from Long Island University and a doctorate in physical therapy from Columbia University. She allegedly submitted a fake physical therapy license that had someone else's license number, a fake Columbia diploma and a forged Kings County Family Court document that referenced a name change. Walker was fired in February of this year following an investigation. While there was no claim that Walker had injured anyone as an unlicensed physical therapist, District Attorney Eric Gonzalez said that she had "potentially" put patients at risk and betrayed a fundamental trust. “Patients place enormous trust in the healthcare professionals who treat them, and they deserve
