The pandemic disrupted New York’s economy of social exclusion. So the city’s hottest restaurant moved the party to Miami. In New York City, no matter who you are, there is always a restaurant reservation that you’re never going to get.

Then there are the restaurants with unlisted phone number

The son of Italy’s last king has tapped his teen granddaughter to eventually lead the House of Savoy, pretenders to Italy’s defunct throne. “Totally illegitimate,” says a rival clan. Vittorio Emanuele di Savoia, the son of the last king of Italy, gave his granddaughter a big 16th birthday present. In a formal 2019 decree, the “Duke of Savoy, Prince of Naples and by the grace of God direct heir to Head of the Royal House of Savoy,” amended a medieval law that for centuries had

The drama in Monaco began even before the race start as polesitter Charles Leclerc – given a clean bill of gearbox health by Ferrari on Sunday morning after his crash in Q3 yesterday – suffered an issue with his left-hand driveshaft on his laps to the grid. Ferrari’s Sporting Director Laurent Mekies duly radioed to FIA Race Director Michael Masi half an hour before the Grand Prix was due to get under way to say that Leclerc would not be starting the race – Leclerc’s hometown

Of all the hats that Maryse Penette-Kedar wears, “mom” is her favorite. She has one grown daughter, Arielle, but hundreds, if not thousands, have depended on her generosity, vision, employment and schooling over the course of her life. Born in Petion-Ville, Haiti, she is the daughter of highly respected school professor Max Penette. He instilled a spirit of leadership through education into her and in 1995, following an illustrious career in Haiti’s foreign service, she found
