The ‘pastrogi’ is a new mashup of pierogi and pastrami from 2 legendary NYC eateries
We’ll have what they’re having. Sandwich icon Katz’s Delicatessen and beloved Ukrainian East Village eatery Veselka have teamed up to create a new menu mashup: the “pastrogi,” a pastrami-stuffed pierogi. The city’s oldest deli provides its signature deli meat, and Veselka works the pastrami into its classic Eastern European dumplings. Famished New Yorkers best mark their calendars and prepare for a quick trip to Brooklyn, though. The best pastrami in NYC doesn’t come from a deli anymore The one-of-a-kind “flavorful fusion” will only be available for one month at Veselka’s new Williamsburg location at 646 Lorimer St. starting on its opening day, Wednesday,...
NYC mugging victim who suffered heart attack in heist dies 3 months later, case now homicide
A Bronx knifepoint robbery victim who suffered a heart attack during the harrowing heist in February has now died — with the case now upgraded to a homicide, according to police.

New data prove it: ‘Supportive housing’ is no cure-all for mentally ill homeless
The city this week disclosed numbers that should deliver a gut check to anyone who sees homelessness as an affordable-housing problem: As Politico reported, the city’s main supportive-housing program, NYC 15/15, is falling far short of its production targets. When launched close to a decade ago, this initiative promised 15,000 units. Less than 4,000 have come online. New York clearly won’t be able to house its way out homelessness — so progressives should reevaluate their opposition to other solutions, such as psychiatric hospitalization and law enforcement. Supportive housing pairs low rents with behavioral-health services and is developed to serve the hardcore chronically homeless. It...
