The Two-Inch Rule Podiatrists Swear By (and How New York Women Cheat It)

Nobody on Fifth Avenue is giving up her heels. Here is how to wear them like a strategist instead of a martyr. The short version: Podiatrists, including the American Podiatric Medical Association, recommend everyday heels of two inches or less. Manhattan podiatrist Dr. Rebecca Pruthi’s strategy for higher heels is to get the fit right, choose leather, cushion the ball of the foot, rotate heel heights through the day, and save the tallest pairs for occasions.

Artist busted painting tribute to slain NYC teen that featured bullets for birthday candles

An Instagram-famous artist was busted while painting a tribute to a murdered Bronx teen– leaving behind his unfinished mural of brains being washed, chained heads and bullet-shaped birthday candles. David Miklatski, 37 — a California-based artist who goes by the moniker David Sabastian and has more than 460,000 Instagram followers — was arrested Wednesday while working on the mural on the side of Mision de Dios church in Third Avenue near East 171st Street in The Bronx, according to police. The mural was intended to honor Javits Frimpong , the 15-year-old Ghanaian immigrant fatally shot in the stomach by still-at-large suspects while walking to school near the church Oct. 29. The unfinished mural included a chessboard with pawns, a washing machine containing brains and a portrait of the teen victim above a birthday cake with bullets for candles. Georgette Roberts for NY Post But the artist’s black-and-white vision — which included black men with chains and padlocks around their heads — angered some community member who said the grieving neighborhood needed a portrait, not a provocative statement. “We’re still in the mourning, and someone’s stupidly come here and put this thing up. This is ridiculous,” said Benjamin Richardson, 40. Manhunt
