Peachy Deegan and Edward Tricomi at Warren Tricomi, January 2026

You don't have to be Tina Turner to know Edward is simply the best.
We have always said the ONLY WAY TO HAVE A GOOD HAIR DAY IS TO GO SEE EDWARD.  SO, PEACHY DID JUST THAT AND LOOKS HOTTER THAN EVER BECAUSE EDWARD IS SIMPLY THE BEST!
When Edward Tricomi does your hair, there is absolutely no need for editing or filters because reality is the best fantasy of all, to quote the Liz Claiborne ad from the 1990s (Realities.)  You star in your own life, and Edward makes you look like one!  
His legendary talent combined with his visionary approach to personally make each person indisputably gorgeous or handsome (Edward cuts men too....stay tuned for another legend!) is exactly what you need to get your own party started for 2026.  Each and every time you look in the mirror you will smile back at yourself!
EDWARD'S ONE-OF-A-KIND DRY CUT HAS SET THE STANDARD FOR HAIRSTYLING EXCELLENCE WORLDWIDE FOR DECADES! 
If you want to start your 2026 off with your personal best look, go see Edward!
The whole process is revolutionary compared to anyone else that has ever cut your hair.
Note we never show you the "before" look because remember, we only publish on the positive!  We can assure you however, it is the opposite of the end result.
Vera and Eliza graciously greet you upon your arrival to the fourth floor of 969 Madison Avenue, and you hear the beat of the music Edward personally chooses to set the tone with upbeat style and welcoming attitude.  Not only is Edward great himself as evidenced by his fifty-five year career, but he also makes those around him great and the newest hot talents work for him, and Edward Tricomi's Lead Assistant, Kenneth Edgerton, above, washed and blowdried Peachy's hair in preparation for the sorcery of the Tricomi scissors.
The pure definition of fun is getting your hair cut by Edward.
Pictures speak louder than any of our words, and of course we do not edit pictures.
The truth is, Peachy looks her best after visiting Edward!  Studies show it is not possible for Peachy to ever look better than at the conclusion of a haircut by Edward.
The artistic, state-of-the-art salon itself and the industrious, talented staff will wow you but know that this is really an extension of the leadership at the top whom we know and love!
Edward Tricomi and his signature dry cut at Warren Tricomi continue to earn our Highest Recommendation.
We have simple taste.
We like the best.
We love Edward.

The final result will be your biggest smile with the best haircut walking down your Manhattan street!

About Warren Tricomi:
Since the brand was established in 1989, Warren Tricomi perfects the art and science of absolute hair transformation. Cofounded by Edward Tricomi (Master Stylist) and Roxana Pintilie (Business Magnate), the duo opened its first flagship store in 2008 at the world-renowned New York Plaza. Since its inception, the brand has sprawled into 3 U.S. and 9 international salons, and it continues to thrive and serve as the emblem of legendary status in the beauty industry.

Linda Fargo – “Edward is THE Rock Star of the hair biz. He plays his scissors with as much groove, intuition, precision, finesse and inspired excellence as the Hall of Famer that he is. He created my signature bob and I am his forever!”

Legendary Warren-Tricomi Salons co-founder Edward Tricomi is known for demanding excellence in everything he does. Be it hair, fashion, or music – when Tricomi is involved, perfection isn’t just expected: it’s inevitable.The roots (no pun intended) of his renowned career began after a suggestion from his sister that he try cutting hair to supplement his income as a musician. Growing up, Edward read Vogue religiously, devouring and absorbing the art within it. Moreover, as the grandson of a fashion designer, he was always surrounded and inspired by the world of fashion. Decades later, Edward is perhaps the most iconic and influential hair historian of our era.





Working his first New York City salon job in the 1970s (working with the likes of Bianca Jagger and Salvador Dali) inspired in him an ambition to create his own beauty empire. He began doing editorial hairstyling, landing his unique and innovative work on numerous prominent fashion magazine spreads and covers.

Edward achieved the position of Art Director at the Jaxavier Salon, widely considered to be the epicenter of style at the time. There, Edward was introduced to world famous stylist and Vogue editor Polly Mellen, whose profound influence helped propel his career to the next level. Through mutual respect and admiration for each other’s talent and work, Polly booked Edward to collaborate alongside iconic fashion photographers including Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Patrick Demarchelier and Helmut Newton. Edward also met Deborah Turbeville, with whom he began a 40 yearlong professional relationship, each one inspiring and impacting the other’s illustrious career. The transformational artistic integrity, avant-garde travel and art exposure that Edward’s editorial career afforded him continue to inspire him decades later.

Glowing reviews from fashion photographers and a sparkling reputation prompted fashion designers to take note of Tricomi, who soon began styling the looks for fashion shows for brands including Valentino, Yves Saint Laurent, Emanuel Ungaro, Calvin Klein, Dior and many other top tier designers around the world. Edward’s innate understanding of hair and fashion coupled with his visionary ideas regarding their potential to intersect in order to enhance one another propelled him to the forefront of the industry. Working at strong editorial-based salons helped Edward hone (and eventually perfect) his craft, leading to the development of his signature dry-hair precision technique and rapid-fire method of cutting, which is frequently compared to an artist sketching. It also serves as the inspiration for his loving nickname, “Edward Scissorhands.” This unusual style of cutting mimics the hair’s natural state with ‘perfectly imperfect,’ abstract layers and allows him to see how the cut will look in the hair’s natural state. Edward is known and respected for this intellectualized approach to hair by elevating the process, he is also elevating the result and ability to understand how each haircut needs to be uniquely tailored and designed to suit the individual for whom it is for.

At the top of his game, Edward decided to leave the editorial world and focus on building his namesake salon business. In 1989, opened the first Warren-Tricomi Salon on East 57th Street in New York City. In addition to fashion and music, Edward has a strong passion for architecture his keen artistic eye, understanding of structure, and dedicated passion have lead him to be integral in the design and layout of every single Warren-Tricomi Salon. Each Warren-Tricomi Salon is incredibly unique, with different décor to reflect the location and personality and essence of the city or neighborhood within which it resides. The brand has a rich history of designing and building some of the most unique salons in the world.
Warren-Tricomi prides itself on being more than just a hair and beauty salon. All stylists trained at Warren-Tricomi are required to study and become experts in not only styling, but also fashion history. It is fundamental to the Warren-Tricomi brand that this extensive knowledge and perspective is present in every single haircut given in their salons. Few other salons can also make this claim, in the same way that few other salons are perpetually and actively on the forefront of beauty and fashion in the way Warren-Tricomi has been for the last 25 years. This significance and influence is evident in many facets of Tricomi’s business, one of which is the fact that they do at least three fashion shows each season, all over the world.

Throughout his prolific career Edward has mentored many well-known stylists including Italo Gregorio, Patrick Melville and Ric Popino. He has worked with virtually every celebrity, including Barbara Streisand, Mick Jagger, Nicky and Paris Hilton, the Kardashians, Scarlett Johansson, Jessica Alba, Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon. Edward is constantly garnering inspiration from the people he works with: models like Patti Hansen, makeup artists like Pat McGrath and photographers like Roxanne Lowit.

The legacy of Edward and the Warren-Tricomi Salons continue to be a driving force and influential cornerstone of both the beauty and fashion industries. Their cutting-edge techniques, coupled with their deep appreciation and understanding of history and those who have come before and inspired them, enables Edward’s business to be the embodiment of modern fashion and beauty; at once both trendsetting and classic. Yet despite his significant impact and illustrious, celebrated career one esteemed fashion photographer and devoted Warren-Tricomi customer calls Edward a “phenomenon and one of the most talented hair dressers in the world” passionate and devoted beauty pioneer and mogul Edward Tricomi will tell you he’s never worked a day in his life.

Florida Council of 100 Awards Ron Wanek Governor's Business Leader Award

The Florida Council of 100 announced Ron Wanek as the winner of the 2025 Governor's Business Leader Award.

The Governor's Business Leader Award is given to a Council of 100 member each year in recognition of long-term excellence in business, civic service, and philanthropy.

"The Governor's Business Leader Award is the most prestigious honor that the Council of 100 bestows," said The Florida Council of 100 Chair George LeMieux. "Ron's work shows that we can expand opportunities, strengthen our industries, and improve the quality of life. It is a privilege to honor a leader whose vision continues to inspire us all."

As Founder and Chairman of Ashley Furniture Industries, Ron Wanek is widely recognized as one of the most influential leaders in the global furniture industry. Raised on a sharecropper farm in rural Minnesota, Wanek developed an early work ethic shaped by long days of manual labor and limited resources—values that would later define his approach to leadership and business. He entered the furniture industry shortly after high school and, in 1970, co-founded what would become Ashley Furniture Industries. Under his vision and leadership, the company evolved into the world's largest furniture manufacturer, pioneering innovative manufacturing, distribution, and retail strategies that reshaped the industry.

Beyond business success, Ron has demonstrated a longstanding commitment to philanthropy and civic leadership. Through the Ronald & Joyce Wanek Foundation headquartered in Tampa, Florida, he and his wife have supported education, medical research, veterans' causes, and other community initiatives in Florida and across the country.

"Ron Wanek embodies the spirit of innovation, determination, and community leadership that this award represents. While building one of the most influential companies in the country, Ron never lost sight of the values that drive real progress: hard work, integrity, and commitment to others," said Mike Simas, President and CEO of The Florida Council of 100.

"It is truly an honor to receive this year's Governor's Business Leader Award. Florida has been an important part of my life and the growth of our company, and I'm grateful for the opportunities this state has given us," said Wanek.

About The Florida Council of 100
The Florida Council of 100 is a private, nonprofit, nonpartisan organization of business leaders dedicated to improving Florida's quality of life and economic well-being. Founded in 1961 at the request of Governor Farris Bryant, the Council serves as a trusted advisor to Florida's elected officials and policymakers. Its membership represents over 200 companies employing more than 1.3 million Floridians, collectively shaping the state's future through business-driven policy solutions and direct economic impact initiatives. The Florida Council of 100 Foundation, the organization's nonprofit affiliate, focuses on research, education, and strategic initiatives that support long-term prosperity, workforce development, and innovation across the state.

#NewYorkNotes UNIVERSAL MUSIC GROUP TO TRANSFORM MUSIC EXPERIENCE FOR BILLIONS OF FANS WITH NVIDIA AI

Leveraging NVIDIA AI infrastructure and drawing from the world's leading music catalog comprising millions of culture-defining tracks, this collaboration aims to pioneer responsible AI for music discovery, creation, and engagement

Universal Music Group (EURONEXT: UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment, announced today a collaboration with NVIDIA to pioneer responsible AI for music discovery, creation, and engagement leveraging NVIDIA AI infrastructure and UMG's industry-leading music catalog comprising millions of tracks covering every genre and era.

UMG is collaborating with NVIDIA to enrich and enhance the music experience of the billions of music consumers worldwide who enjoy the world's most popular form of entertainment. NVIDIA and UMG will undertake collaborative research and development to promote shared objectives of advancing human music creation and rightsholder compensation.

The collaboration will explore new avenues to enrich music experiences by utilizing AI to elevate discovery, engagement and consumption beyond current constructs of search and personalization. Further, the companies will pursue new approaches to leverage AI in order to protect artists' work and ensure proper attribution of music-based content. Revolutionizing Music Discovery: NVIDIA and UMG are extending the NVIDIA Music Flamingo model to transform how fans discover music. Music Flamingo sets a new standard in music intelligence by moving beyond surface-level recognition to deliver rich, human-like understanding of songs. Built on NVIDIA's advanced Audio Flamingo architecture, the model processes full-length tracks—up to 15 minutes—with unprecedented precision, capturing harmony, structure, timbre, lyrics, and cultural context. It uses chain-of-thought reasoning to enable nuanced interpretation of musical elements, from chord progressions to emotional arcs. NVIDIA Music Flamingo outperforms leading models across 10+ benchmarks in music captioning, instrument recognition, and multilingual lyric transcription. By interpreting the deeper layers of each track, Music Flamingo enables listeners to explore music in ways that go far beyond traditional tags or genres, making discovery more personal and meaningful.

Enhancing Fan Engagement: These technologies help unlock interactive experiences that allow artists to connect with audiences beyond conventional playlists or search. For artists, Music Flamingo opens new creative possibilities—providing tools to analyze, describe, and share their music with unprecedented depth. For fans, it powers richer discovery experiences, surfacing songs not just by genre or tempo, but by emotional narrative and cultural resonance, helping established artists reach fans in deeper, more interactive ways, while providing emerging artists with greater opportunities to be discovered by music lovers who are the most likely to become dedicated fans.

Empowering Artists with Creation Tools: To ensure AI-driven music creation tools genuinely empower artists, NVIDIA and UMG will establish a dedicated artist incubator. This incubator brings together artists, songwriters, and producers to co-design and test new AI-powered tools, integrating them into real-world creative workflows. By prioritizing hands-on artist involvement, the incubator develops solutions that enhance originality and authenticity—serving as a direct antidote to generic, "AI slop" outputs, and placing artists at the center of responsible AI innovation.

Sir Lucian Grainge, UMG's Chairman and CEO, said, "We're excited to establish this ground-breaking strategic relationship which unites the world's leading technology company with the world's leading music company in a shared mission to harness revolutionary AI technology to dramatically advance the interests of the creative community and the role of music in global culture. We eagerly embrace the opportunities that AI presents, and the fact that NVIDIA is choosing to take a leadership position in the tech industry in their commitment to responsible AI principles is critically important. We look forward to working closely with NVIDIA to direct AI's unprecedented transformational potential towards the service of artists and their fans as we work together to set new standards for innovation within the industry, while protecting and respecting copyright and human creativity."

UMG's Music & Advanced Machine Learning Lab (MAML) previously trained its models using NVIDIA's AI infrastructure. The collaboration will employ both companies' research capabilities, establishing creative laboratories that foster comprehensive input from artists, songwriters, music labels and publishers, in part by leveraging UMG's world-class studio operations such as Abbey Road Studios in London and Capitol Studios in Los Angeles. In addition, UMG will use NVIDIA AI infrastructure in the development of responsibly trained AI-driven business and creative processes.

Throughout the collaboration, NVIDIA will work with UMG and its artists to obtain in-depth feedback on product development that will empower established artists to engage with their fans in deeper, more interactive ways, while also providing emerging artists with unprecedented opportunities to be discovered and connect with new audiences worldwide.

"We're entering an era where a music catalog can be explored like an intelligent universe — conversational, contextual, and genuinely interactive", said Richard Kerris, NVIDIA VP/GM of Media. "By extending NVIDIA's Music Flamingo with UMG's unmatched catalog and creative ecosystem, we're going to change how fans discover, understand, and engage with music on a global scale. And we'll do it the right way: responsibly, with safeguards that protect artists' work, ensure attribution, and respect copyright."

As this collaboration sets new standards for innovation and responsibility in the music industry, artists and fans alike stand to benefit from the transformative potential of AI. NVIDIA and UMG are committed to shaping a future where technology and creativity unite to unlock new possibilities for artists and fans everywhere.

About Universal Music Group
Universal Music Group exists to shape culture through the power of artistry. UMG is the world leader in music-based entertainment, with a broad array of businesses engaged in recorded music, music publishing, merchandising and audiovisual content. Featuring the most comprehensive catalogue of recordings and songs across every musical genre, UMG identifies and develops artists and produces and distributes the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful music in the world. Committed to artistry, innovation and entrepreneurship, UMG fosters the development of services, platforms and business models in order to broaden artistic and commercial opportunities for our artists and create new experiences for fans.

The venue, which sits 4,657 feet above sea level, features spectacular scenic views of the nearby Wasatch Mountain Range of the Greater Rockies. In addition to Utes football, Rice-Eccles has hosted multiple other major sporting events, most prominently the Opening and Closing Ceremonies of the 2002 Salt Lake Winter Olympic Games. The venue is also set to host the Opening and Closing Ceremonies for the 2034 Utah Winter Olympic Games.

#InauguralReview #Gaudios Family-Owned and Operated Since 1958 by Founder the Late Great Luigi Gaudio and Since 1990 by the Equally Amazing Dominick Gaudio His Son #SouthernItalian #Pizzeria #Ristorante #Calabria 40-13 30th Ave #Astoria #Queens #NewYork

From the pizza perfection of both Peachy's vegetable selections and then the Classic Cheese to the Lobster Ravioli and "Tails Up" Shrimp Scampi, Gaudio's showcases the best of Calabrian Cuisine and is our first discovery in Astoria, Queens, New York City!
It's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and now we know Dominick Gaudio, owner of Gaudio's!
We've spent 17 years finding the Best in Manhattan.  Sometimes, you can find even better in Queens, namely, when you know Dominick Gaudio, master of pizza hospitality and so much more.  A shining diamond in Astoria, Gaudio's hit it out of the park on our very first visit ever not only to their venue but to the entire neighborhood.  If we ever consider another venue in this neighborhood, they ought to know they have a tough act to follow!  Peachy nearly never leaves Manhattan and stays in New York.
Owner since 1990, Dominick Gaudio graciously greeted us with a sparkling smile of genuine professionalism the moment we walked in, and right down to the spotless bathrooms, Gaudio's is all pinkies-out with beautiful interiors from the gorgeous ceiling to the pristine tablecloths to the extensive menu of excellence.  There is no weak spot we found on the menu.  Clearly, Dominick was born to excel in this realm and we are only getting started.  Gaudio's outperformed many places in Manhattan that can be comfortable sitting on their laurels.  Sadly, we were born too late to work with founder Luigi Gaudio, Dominick's father.  Luigi Gaudio came to New York in 1956 and first worked with his uncles in the Bronx at 158th and Melrose.  Later, Luigi opened Gaudio's in this exact location in 1958; Dominick told us that the slices back in the day were around fifteen cents!  Happily, we were born just at the right time to work with Dominick Gaudio, and they have come a long way, baby.
So yes, their pizza is truly spectacular but no, they are not merely a pizza place.  Gaudio's is a Italian institution of great culinary depth and talent.  The Italian salad arrives in style with tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh mozzarella, green and black olives, iceberg lettuce, pimentos and provolone, each element a beacon of freshness.  House dressing came in a silver boat on the side because you know who likes to apply her own dressing, and in this case it was a house vinaigrette.  Of course, the salads are made to order and the Caesar Salad was equally commanding and we decided to add shrimp.  Not only can you add shrimp, but the shrimp are sizeable enough that they can and do butterfly it too, incorporated into the expert grilling.  
The Baked Clams were hams and insisted on properly mugging for the camera.
Note we never edit pictures. 
You excel like Dominick, or we do not publish.
They really do look this sublime in real life.
Some people talk about the great plains of America.
We talk about the great plains of pizza.  From the superlative cheese and sauce and their ratio to each other to the triumphant fluffy crust which we just adored, Gaudio's large cheese pizza is to be coveted from afar and enjoyed up close.  Yes even if you live in Manhattan you ought to prioritize this pizza.  And avid readers know that Peachy is a fan of vegetables on pizza, and the onions, mushrooms and broccoli here were super competitive in their ultimate freshness that just added to the pizza glory.  It is so delicious you will be put under a culinary spell of pizza mesmerization.  Everyone tells us they make great pizza.  Gaudio's showed us.
The red sauce in particular in both the quality of the sauce itself and the application which is just right not overbearing or not under served is the most outstanding anywhere in recent memory especially for an inaugural review. If you can't bring yourself to walk across the Queensboro Bridge get in a car and pick up a takeout order at the very least: you need to make this pizza a priority in your life.  Also it seems like this is not far from La Guardia so if you find yourself landing and dying for pizza, you know where to make a stop.
If she knew she could devote her life to Chicken Parm, Peachy would have started doing it sooner.  However, it is well underway and we maybe are the only ones with a dedicated Chicken Parm column with Chicken Parm Peachy, featuring the very best Peachy's Picks.  The rendition at Gaudio's is entirely charming and delicious, and of course although is pictured as an entree can also be a grinder/hero/sub depending on if you are from Connecticut/New York/Massachusetts.  We are not going to define the other 47 states but geography is irrelevant when you discover quality Chicken Parm.  In this case, the only geography you need is 30th avenue and Steinway Street.  We know you can read a map, smart cookie readers!
The chicken parm itself in essence at Gaudio's is nothing short of spectacular and we were tremendously wowed.
There are places in this world where you cut into Lobster Raviolis and cannot see enough lobster.
Gaudio's is absolutely not one of them!  
The succulent nature of this majestic crustacean is expertly encased in ravishing ravioli that are just dying to meet you.  This was a special when we visited and we are often universally enticed by lobster.
If your Shrimp Scampi doesn't smile at you like that, you ought to check out Gaudio's!
From every angle, this is a winner and exhibited a competitive performance.
We believe there is a liquor license here however we did not explore that yet and can verify that the Root Beer hit the spot and Dominick understands Peachy is fueled by caffeine to close in on post 31,000....yes get a cappuccino at the end.  We hear the desserts are superlative but alas Peachy's stomach was at a limit so we will tell you about them another time.
We know in many cases and especially in cases when there is such acclaimed history of a venue, that when a restaurant names a dish after themselves, it is quite often superior and indicative of what they think is best.  To that end, meet Gaudio's Italian Hero, 12 inches of quality grilled chicken, fresh mozzarella, roasted peppers and pesto sauce, delicious and invigorating and not your standard at all: a step above.
Well, as you may have guessed Peachy has not been here for 67 years, so it's incorrect to say that it took her 67 years to discover Gaudio's!  But we're glad it didn't take her another day because it is a beacon of excellence across Ed's bridge and we would like to think the late great mayor was with us in spirit when we visited!  In the world according to Peachy, the calories at Gaudio's do not count if you walk there across Ed's bridge from Manhattan.  We can't wait to see what Dominick and Gaudio's do next.
