Over-the-top Italian spot Florian tastes as good as it looks
On recent bitter nights when most Park Avenue South restaurants were half-full, Shelly Fireman's new, Italian-fantasy Florian had hardly any of 175 seats to spare.

L’elisir d’amore, Metropolitan Opera, New York — ‘The crowd went wild for Vittorio Grigolo’

The Met, not incidentally, yawned with empty seats. That seems to be the norm these days. Still, the sparse crowd went wild after Grigolo glorified the opera's greatest hit, "Una f...

The fellow who runs it is a jazz...
Gelato in NYC: Where to scoop up the Italian-style ice cream
I scream, you scream, we all scream for... gelato. In a city that heats up fast (and with little relief), the summer means New Yorkers happily reach for the nearest ice cream cone. And while the truck with the tunes that rolls down the street can offer a bit of nostalgia, a scoop of gelato can offer a richer treat. Gelato means "ice cream" in Ital...
