"Hosting weekly bagel-making classes with baker Reva Castillenti via trade organization BagelUp starting this month. Attendees will learn how to make New York-style bagels from rolling the dough to baking the bread, with tastings and bagels to take home. The $150 two-hour classes take place weekly on Sundays at 10 a.m., have capacity for 24 people, and start on May 4." - Nadia Chaudhury
"Beyond being one of the more perfect independent grocery stores around, Fairway is the perfect New York cross section: You'll see young families, old ladies in fur coats, students looking for good food at good prices, and just about every New York "type" you can think of. This outpost is almost open 24 hours (6am-1am)."

"A grocery source on West 74th Street recommended for buying fresh, still-warm mozzarella (never chilled); the writer advises purchasing two orange-sized balls so one can be eaten immediately while the other is sliced for a composed tomato-and-mozzarella course." - Alan Sytsma, Adam Mazur
"This longtime Upper West Side flagship at Broadway and West 74th Street was reported among 14 locations facing liquidation, a dramatic turn after years of steep losses, stock collapse, a prior Chapter 11 filing, and mounting debt. Coverage and insiders blamed an aggressive, poorly executed expansion, incoherent leadership, and rising competition from national specialty grocers; the retailer initially denied closure reports before announcing sales of five stores and voluntary bankruptcy protection. The store had been a beloved local institution—generations of neighborhood shoppers gathered there—so the prospect of its closure prompted widespread sadness and criticism of private-equity ownership and corporate mismanagement." - Chris Crowley
