Miller and Mars scoured lower Manhattan and Brooklyn for a brownstone that would meet their needs, but it wasn't until they discovered a gem nestled on a quiet Upper West Side block that they knew they'd found the one.

"After Eden is about what happens once you leave paradise. There's curiosity, a little temptation and sometimes a bit of chance."

The view of upper Manhattan from above showcases a dense cityscape alongside a large swath of green, highlighting the beauty of Central Park.

The concept is exactly what it sounds like: a crisp, buttery bureka shell gets packed with spiced tomato sauce and a soft, jammy egg, essentially folding shakshuka into a handheld pastry.

Originally known as Sneads Court on John Rocque's map of London in 1746, the area was wider and more of a courtyard than an alley. Over time, it was renamed Hertford Place and later Yarmouth Mews as the neighborhood evolved into larger hotels and grand houses.

The steamy return of bathhouses is making waves, suggesting that everything old is new again, and perhaps a little sweaty too!

The Walking Man has been spotted around various New York City subway stations, awarding fans with prizes and terrifying unsuspecting straphangers with an unsettling smile.

"We've all been in the restaurant industry for a long time, in many different ways. We met a couple of years ago, and one night, after they had been out all day surfing, they just proposed that I join them in opening a restaurant."

Golden Child Rooftop is envisioned as a social hub without elitist membership fees, catering to both hotel guests and New Yorkers seeking a fresh rooftop experience.

"It has a more modern cuisine, and it caters more to a Gen-Z Asian American crowd," said one college-age diner, who gave her name as Eris, during a recent weekend.

Michelin updates its guide twice a year, spotlighting newcomers that could later earn its coveted Star distinction when awards are announced in the fall.

In SoHo, people are always waiting in line for something, whether that's the latest sneaker drop or a croissant-donut hybrid. There's a palpable enthusiasm for the Next Big Thing.

Milton is a picturesque location along the west side of the Hudson River, halfway between Albany and New York City, known for its pretty parks and river views.

The show, which is the most-streamed limited series ever on Hulu and Disney+ surpassing 65 million streaming hours, stars Paul Anthony Kelly (John F. Kennedy Jr.) and Sarah Pidgeon (Carolyn Bessette).

"THE BEST pierogi me and my fiancé have tried ever in NY. Me and him are both Ukrainian and have lived in Poland, and out of all the places we have tried, these taste exactly like homemade traditional Polish pierogis."

"It's a really special spot. When you start at the top and move down the gently sloped ramp, you almost feel like a marble tumbling down, looking at art as you roll by. The slight slant plays with your sense of perspective and grounding."

Mark Rothko and his first wife, Edith Sachar, put down roots in a small apartment within a Greek Revival townhouse in Manhattan's East Village neighborhood in the 1930s. There, the late abstract expressionist famously known for his color field technique created the painting titled 'Thru the Window.'

Most of them are oddly charged, dramatically staged images meant to evoke dreams, nightmares, or fantasies. Many of the best-known photos from a series with children, published in 1972 as "The Dream Collector," could be frames from a David Lynch film. Much of the subsequent work Tress made was similarly theatrical but tended to involve homoerotic scenes. In one picture, a slim teen-ager reaches over tentatively, tenderly, to peel a bandage off another boy's bare thigh, a moment both touching and wonderfully matter-of-fact.

Bea is a neighborhood favorite. A mere 12-14 minute walk west from Times Square gives you enough distance to breathe normally again. Inside, it's low-lit and lively, with servers and bartenders who manage the pre-theater rush like they've seen it all a million times. The bar program is what sets Bea apart from others of its ilk with a short but sweet cocktail menu offering novelty and fun.

It was just confirmed to me that our building-home to elmo for 25 years-has been sold. Our lease expires with that sale. The new owners will soon bring a residential building to our neighborhood. Sadly, all things must come to an end and elmo will serve its last meal on Friday, March 13.

In good times, klezmer singer and composer Éléonore Weill makes most of her living playing gigs around the city under her name or fronting the two bands Fada and Tsibele. But when the COVID pandemic began, she got divorced and had to move out of the Kensington house she shared with her ex-husband. Then she was hit by a car, which left her with a traumatic brain injury.
