New York Style baked in a coal-fired oven? Now we're talking.

Always ahead of the curve and nostalgic as a hobby, New Yorkers are leaning into a dominant food trend from when the subway fare was $2.25, Occupy Wall Street camped out at Zuccotti Park, New York Fashion Week had recently relocated to Lincoln Center, and yes, there was a fro-yo shop on every corner. Now, frozen yogurt has become part of the zeitgeist once again.

The city's eponymous magazine, The New Yorker, published the essay that vaulted him into stardom as he was slinging steak frites.

Perhaps the most iconic style of pizza outside of the country where pizza originated is the New York-style slice. Authentic NYC pizza is a large slice served hot on a disposable plate, crisp yet tender enough to fold with one hand and wolfed down tip-first (preferably whilst standing or walking).

Waiting in line is a young man's game. And once I was that young man (or woman or whatever). In my early twenties, I believed in the prize at the end of the line. I had to-the thought alone kept me warm as many nights I stood outside in the dead of D.C. winter in little else but a skin-tight dress. But I'm older now, my outfits actually match the weather

The blaze broke out at 481 Van Brunt St., which houses dozens of artist studios and small businesses, at around 11:30 p.m. on Sept. 17, officials said. Flames quickly engulfed the top floors of the building and spread to the roof, forcing firefighters to evacuate.
