Zabar’s – 2245 Broadway

Any wait you might encounter at this Upper West Side landmark is worth it. New Yorkers and out-of-towners—tens of thousands per week—come to Zabar’s for some of the City’s best coffee, bagels, smoked fish, cheeses and much more. Grab some goodies for a picnic in nearby Central Park, or load up on groceries to make a savory meal at home. Either way, how can you not love a place that once famously sold caviar at a loss in its zeal for offering the lowest price?

Little Italy & Chinatown – Grand & Lafayette Streets

When Italian immigrants moved to this Manhattan neighborhood in the late 1800s, they brought their customs, food and language. That heritage remains evident today—Little Italy’s streets are lined with restaurants serving Italian staples on red-and-white checkered tablecloths. Di Palo’s cheese shop and Ferrara Bakery & Café—known for its cannoli and espresso—are among the long-tenured businesses still operating today.

Chinatown New York City is located in one of the oldest neighborhoods in Manhattan.  Chinese immigrants settled in the area in the 1800’s. Chinatown offers unique historical and cultural experiences not found anywhere else in the world.

Chelsea Market – 88 10^th St

Iconic culinary destination Chelsea Market has become an internationally-renowned brand and is considered one of the greatest indoor food and retail marketplaces in the world today. Located in the heart of New York City’s Meatpacking District, the market’s collection of distinctive and diverse merchants adds up to more than just your average food hall, rather a lively marketplace where one can shop the region’s finest fishmonger, take home prime cuts of meat from one of the area’s best whole-animal butchers, load up on artisanal cheeses, fresh produce, and imported Italian dry goods. It’s the savory meals enjoyed at Chelsea Market; just as much as the fresh ingredients purchased there that make it a beloved destination for locals and travelers alike.

2025 Inductees

CC Sabathia, Ichiro Suzuki and Billy Wagner Elected to Hall of Fame by BBWAA

 

Ichiro Suzuki, a veritable hits machine on both sides of the Pacific Ocean, became the first Japanese player to gain entry into the National Baseball Hall of Fame when he was elected Tuesday to the Class of 2025 alongside pitchers CC Sabathia and Billy Wagner.

Ichiro, who was on the ballot for the first time, came within one vote of being a unanimous selection, a feat achieved by only one player, relief pitcher Mariano Rivera in 2019, in 81 years of voting by the BBWAA. Ichiro, a multiple Gold Glove Award-winning outfielder, received 393 votes, which accounted for 99.746 percent of the electorate, second only to shortstop Derek Jeter’s 99.748-percent showing (396 of 397 ballots cast) in 2020 as the highest plurality for a position player in Hall of Fame voting.

Sabathia, another first-time honoree, received 342 votes (86.8 percent), and Wagner, who was on the BBWAA ballot for the 10th-and-final time, got 325 (82.5).

Radio City Music Hall

More than 300 million people have come to the Music Hall to enjoy stage shows, movies, concerts and special events. There is no place like it to see a show or stage a show. Everything about it is larger than life. Radio City Music Hall is the largest indoor theatre in the world. Its marquee is a full city-block long. Its auditorium measures 160 feet from back to stage and the ceiling reaches a height of 84 feet. The walls and ceiling form by a series of sweeping arches that define a splendid and immense curving space. Choral staircases rise up the sides toward the back wall. Actors can enter there to bring live action right into the house. There are no columns to obstruct views. Three shallow mezzanines provide comfortable seating without looming over the rear Orchestra section below. The result is that every seat in Radio City Music Hall is a good seat.
