SNP introduces NYC public high school students to modern brain research. About 20 participants attend interactive lectures, read and present a scientific paper, dissect a brain, design their own neuroscience experiment and visit research labs. The two-week course is led by Rockefeller graduate students. The hope is to develop young people's passion for science, especially for students with otherwise limited opportunities.

Jersey City is diverse and has a cultural depth that the locals are only too happy to share. The city opposite New York City on the Hudson River has breathtaking views of the Big Apple's skyline and the Statue of Liberty is clearly visible. Despite New York having legal jurisdiction over the statue, her location is within the boundaries of Jersey City.

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. - All this talk of pancakes for Shrove Tuesday has me hungry for them, so here is my handy‑dandy list of pancake how‑to enjoy pancakes on Staten Island. For the record, an occupational hazard of food writing is that you are constantly stoking your own appetite. So now that I am craving a straight‑up pancake with an irresponsible amount of butter -thinking Kerrygold-and making my stomach even grumblier.

Over the past several decades, Staten Island has undergone a profound demographic transformation. According to U.S. Census Bureau data, Black and Latino residents now make up nearly 30% of the borough's population, up from a bit more than 10% in 1980. These residents are raising families, building businesses, and contributing significantly to the social and economic life of the borough. Yet, when it comes to congressional representation, they are denied a meaningful voice.

Christopher T. Hewitt, a lifelong Staten Islander who fed, cared for, and quietly held up his community through decades in the food business, died suddenly at his home in Sunnyside. He was 50. Hewitt's path into food began in the produce department of the old A&P in New Dorp, where he worked as a teenager. He went on to spend years on the East Shore at Delfini's and Top Tomato, gaining the hands-on experience that shaped his career, particularly at Delfini's. In the early 2000s, he owned The Misty Lounge, a Grant City neighborhood bar he ran with friends.

Heated Rivalry has taken over New York-well, the world really-with themed raves, trivia nights, watch parties and more. It's not looking like the horny obsession over the queer hockey romance is ending any time soon. In NYC, you can ice skate like Hollanov, hit the clubs like Hollanov and, yes, even scarf down tuna melts like Hollanov. From burgers to blueberry smoothies, here's where you can dine like the Heated Rivalry fellas in New York City.

New York is the state with the highest percentage of homes without a car (excluding the District of Columbia), meaning many day trips are within reach of NYC by train. If you're seeking relaxation, explore one of the small, colorful villages of New York's Hudson River Valley. Perhaps you'd prefer to dine on Neapolitan-inspired pizza in a charming corner of Connecticut or stroll along the waterfront in one of New Jersey's coolest suburbs.

For travelers looking to enjoy their gnocchi or lasagne at a more under-the-radar spot, consider skipping Manhattan entirely and going to Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, or even Staten Island. I lived in New York for over a decade, from 2012 to 2025. While I enjoyed the hustle and bustle of Little Italy, especially when grabbing a gelato and wandering the streets in the summer months, my most memorable Italian meals were at quieter spots in Brooklyn, like the old-school, cash-only Noodle Pudding in Brooklyn Heights.

"I believe an event like that would be a great idea, as it allows the Port Richmond area an opportunity to showcase all the wonderful businesses that call it home," Lopez said. "We've had street closures on Port Richmond Avenue in the past-for the Mexican Independence Day parade and for a Summer Streets event-and they went off without a hitch. The only thing I would suggest is that they give us ample time to prepare."
