Private Members’ Clubs Reveal What Money Can’t Buy in Luxury

Not long ago, one of our members was applying to a well-known private club. The fee was never the issue. She had already secured her first referral from one of the club’s founding members, but the club asked for a second, and that is exactly where money loses its leverage. I knew a business contact I was sure she would get along with, since they shared a background in media. I introduced them, they hit it off, and he agreed to become her second referrer. Nothing about it was transactional. It worked because the connection was real. Early in my hospitality career, at the Cipriani Group and The Box, I saw what status used to look like in New York: bottle service at the club everyone was trying to get into. Today, the settings people value most are far quieter. They are private members’ clubs where people can have real conversations behind closed doors, knowing who else is in the room and trusting that what is said there stays there.

Flu season hits New York earlier than ever, with influenza A dominating cases

NIAGARA FALLS, N.Y. (WIVB) — Flu season is already underway across New York, and health care workers say this year’s early start is raising concerns as the holiday season approaches. New York has declared influenza prevalent earlier than ever before. At Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center, staff began seeing flu cases in the first week of September, even before the hospital had a chance to distribute this year’s vaccines. “We got our batch of vaccines at the end of August, beginning of September,” said Branden Simone, director of infection prevention at Niagara Falls Memorial Medical Center. “And by the first week of September, we already had our flu cases in our hospital.” Simone said there are several theories about why flu season started so early, including changing weather patterns and the spread of other illnesses before vaccines could be distributed. Currently, influenza A is the prevalent strain across New York State, Niagara County, and Erie County, Simone said.

Oberlin Opera Upholds Excellence Under New Direction

Because of the dark and twisted nature of many Grimm’s fairy tales, I anticipated of Oberlin Opera Theater’s production of Hänsel und Gretel to be right in line with the lapsing spooky season. However, guest stage director Kevin Newbury creates a world that dazzles and delights, set in New York City in the midst of the ’70s housing crisis. This is beautifully realized from the design standpoint. The chorus, a diverse array of iconic characters, fill Scenic Designer and Lecturer in Theater Laura Carlson-Tarantowski’s elegant and lived-in set design. Street art, featuring an iconic Cat Stevens lyric towers overhead as onstage flashlights, casts complex shadows, and a giant food truck serves as the Witch’s cottage. The Witch herself, though not introduced musically until the very end, makes many strong appearances.

Guest commentary: What entrepreneurship teaches us about risk, responsibility and reinvention

By Steven Fishoff There comes a time in many people’s lives when they face a choice: remain where they are comfortable or take a chance on something they believe in. For me, that moment came when I left an established career in New York and moved my family to Southern California. My daughter was just six months old. I was leaving behind the familiarity of an industry I understood, professional relationships I had developed and the security that comes with knowing your surroundings. I wasn’t leaving because I lacked opportunities. I was leaving because I wanted to create one. After years of working in the apparel industry, including managing a dress division, I decided to pursue something different: building a business of my own. That decision eventually led to the creation of Jenna Ashley Inc. What I learned along the way has shaped how I think about entrepreneurship, responsibility and the importance of continuing to move forward.

The 10 Tallest Mountains In The Adirondacks

The mountains of the Adirondack High Peaks in New York State are an ancient geological anomaly. Their rocks actually belong to the Grenville Province, a vast chunk of Earth's crust more than 1 billion years old. Mount Marcy, New York's highest peak at 5,344 feet, has its own unique history, as it played an unexpected role in Theodore Roosevelt's rise to the presidency. Whiteface Mountain even hosted alpine skiing events during the 1980 Winter Olympics. These peaks, the 10 highest in the Adirondacks, all have interesting geological and human-interest stories to tell. Mount Marcy 5,344 feet (1,629 meters) Mount Marcy is the crown jewel of the Adirondack Mountains and the highest peak in New York state at 5,344 feet (1,629 meters). Located 20 miles south of Lake Placid, it is known to the indigenous Algonquin people as Tahawus, or Cloud Splitter.

Quick hands, big heart: John Turturro delivers an Oscar-worthy performance in The Only Living Pickpocket in New York

Some actors can make you forget you’re watching a performance — and John Turturro is one of them. In The Only Living Pickpocket in New York, he plays Harry, a man who steals for a living. Set against the unromantic, lived-in streets of New York City, this quiet drama earns its place not through ambition or scale but through the sheer force of one extraordinary performance.Harry is an aging pickpocket who has spent his life working the crowds of the metropolis. His trade is a dying art, and he knows it. But the film isn’t really about the thrill of the lift. It’s about the man behind the quick hands. Turturro plays him as a gentle, weary soul with a deep reserve of decency. You never feel that the film is excusing what Harry does. Instead, it lets you see him as a whole person, with flaws and tenderness side by side. Nowhere is that clearer than in his scenes at home, where he cares for his disabled wife with a patience and devotion that’s quietly moving.

REVIEW | ‘Hell’s Kitchen’ at RBTL

Jukebox musicals tend to fall into two categories: a fabricated story manufactured to cram in as many hit songs as possible, or a biographical sketch of a major artist told using their songs. The 2023 Broadway musical from Alicia Keys falls somewhere in between. “Hell’s Kitchen, ” which runs through November 8 at West Herr Performing Arts Center, brings a ‘90s New York City R&B family love story to the Rochester Broadway Theatre League season. The musical, penned by Alicia Keys and playwright Kristoffer Diaz, features Keys’ biggest hits as well as a few new songs for the show. “Hell’s Kitchen” uses elements of Keys’ adolescent biography — white mom, absent father, being raised in the city, a love of music. However, the events and characters follow a simple coming of age story that’s less about providing insight into Keys or her career and more a vehicle for iconic songs, high-energy dance numbers and a breathtaking visual landscape.
