June 5 Rally to “Save Union Square”

Opening on May 21 at Broadway and 18th St., Minuto Bauli is the first U.S. outpost of the beloved Verona-based baking dynasty, Bauli. But this isn’t your average bakery. It’s a one-product wonderland dedicated entirely to a single, freshly baked, filled-to-order Italian treat: the Minuto Bauli.

What is a Minuto Bauli, exactly? Think of it as the pastry equivalent of a mic drop. The dough, made with Bauli’s century-old Futura mother yeast, is crafted in Italy using high-quality ingredients like flour, eggs, butter and milk, then shipped to New York City, where it rises for 12 hours before being baked and dressed up right before your eyes. Guests can customize their treat with a selection of lush Italian creams, preserves, spreads and gourmet toppings.

Half of the unsuccessful Boho Karaoke on 13th between University and Broadway has become Trece, a Mexican restaurant.

It doesn’t look like much now, but a new bar, Everything’s Jake, is coming to 13th St. between University and Broadway. It’ll be your place to go for a nightcap after dinner at PF Chang’s.

The word is generally positive on Dos Toros Burritos, located near the northeast corner of 13th and 4th.

In case you haven’t seen the renderings for 15 Union Square West, here they are. And here’s one $4,100,000 listing. The interesting thing about this development is that it retains the original cast-iron window frames from the 19th-century while wrapping the whole thing in 21st-century glass. Take a close look when you walk by. And here’s the history of the building.  And a recent New York Times peek inside the model apartment.
