#CruisingPeachy #PatrioticPeachy @GNYADA_official NEW YORK CAR DEALERS REMEMBER 9/11 How They Came Together for New York

Twenty-five years after the attacks on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, the Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association (GNYADA) remembers how the automobile industry pulled together to support efforts in the aftermath of the tragedy.  Whom You Know applauds all that the New York Auto Show and GNYADA does and in particuarly totally supports American car manufacturing, particularly Chevrolet and Corvette and Corvette Racing.

When the world was witnessing what unfolded in New York and in Washington, D.C, Association President Mark Schienberg was overseas on business, attending the Frankfurt Auto Show with New York Auto Show Chairman John LaSorsa and GNYADA Board Chairman Michael Caruso.

With airspace in the US closed, the group immediately began discussing how New York’s car dealers could get involved in the recovery efforts. With limited cell service available in New York due to the collapse of the twin towers, Schienberg contacted Mark Herrmann, the Association's representative to the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA), to help establish a national response. That effort led to the NADA Survivors Relief Fund, which brought dealers from across the country together to support families and survivors of the attacks. Within weeks, the fund had received hundreds of thousands of dollars in dealer contributions.

At home, GNYADA mobilized its members. On September 26, the Association announced the creation of the Greater New York Auto Dealers Disaster Relief Fund, seeded with an initial $250,000 contribution from GNYADA. The Association called on dealers, manufacturers, suppliers, and dealer associations to contribute to relief efforts.

The response went beyond financial support. New York dealers donated 18 vans to the American Red Cross to assist with rescue and relief operations.

The broader automotive industry was doing the same, with automakers and dealers providing hundreds of vehicles, generators, ATVs, and other equipment to agencies working at Ground Zero and elsewhere.

The industry's support also assisted individual families that felt the impact directly. In January 2002, the Georgia Automobile Dealers Association delivered a 12-passenger Chevrolet Express van to the family of fallen FDNY firefighter Frank Palombo, who left behind his wife and ten children. Georgia dealers raised $22,000 toward the vehicle, General Motors provided an extended warranty, and GNYADA provided a year's worth of fuel. GNYADA hosted a media event in Manhattan to get the word out and garner additional support for the family.

GNYADA also funded the restoration of a fire truck from a volunteer Bronx firehouse that was severely damaged while responding to the World Trade Center. The restored truck was dedicated at the 2002 New York International Auto Show, in a ceremony attended by former New York City Mayor Giuliani and former Fire Commissioner Thomas Von Essen.

“Twenty-five years later, we remember the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the extraordinary courage of the first responders who ran toward danger,” said Schienberg. “But we also remember how the automobile industry came together. Dealers didn't just write checks. They provided vehicles, equipment, their time working at ground zero helping feed the 1st responders, and they reached out to families who had lost everything.”

GNYADA and the New York Auto Show continue to find ways to honor and recognize the men and women who serve New York and their communities. First responders have remained a recurring part of the Auto Show's programming and community outreach, culminating in the establishment of First Responders Appreciation Day, which provides complimentary and discounted admission to eligible fire, police, and EMS personnel and their families.

#NewYorkNotes #CharitablePeachy #IrelandPeachy @RecordingAcad @U2 MUSICARES® TO HONOR U2 AS 2027 PERSONS OF THE YEAR CELEBRATING THE 22-TIME GRAMMY® AWARD-WINNING BAND FOR FIVE DECADES OF GLOBAL MUSICAL ACHIEVEMENT AND HUMANITARIAN SERVICE

PEACHY DEEGAN LOVES U2 AND FULLY APPROVES, MUSICARES!

PEACHY'S 100 PERCENT IRISH GRANDMOTHER SAID THERE ARE TWO KINDS OF PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD: THOSE WHO ARE IRISH AND THOSE WHO WISH THEY WERE.  BRAVO U2~!

MusiCares® has named U2 — Bono, The Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. — as the 2027 MusiCares Persons of the Year. One of the most acclaimed bands in modern music, U2 will be honored for their groundbreaking body of work and decades of using their reach, resources and music to support people and the fight for justice around the world. The 36th annual Persons of the Year benefit gala will be held at a new location, Peacock Theater in Los Angeles on Friday, Feb. 5, 2027, two nights before the 2027 Grammys® at Crypto.com Arena.

"We are honored to celebrate and recognize U2 as this year's MusiCares Persons of the Year," said Harvey Mason jr., CEO of the Recording Academy® and MusiCares. "Their impact goes far beyond the stage. Not only has their music defined generations, but they've been equally exemplary in their dedication to humanitarian work and using their platform for good. We are so excited to come together to honor their collective artistry and commitment to giving back on this special night."

Celebrating 50 years together as a band after meeting in their Dublin high school in 1976, U2 has won 22 Grammy® awards and sold more than 170 million albums worldwide, building a career that has spanned generations of recorded music and live performances. Alongside their music, the four members have established and supported a wide range of philanthropic and humanitarian campaigns.

From their earliest days as a young band, the members of U2 have been activists for peace, justice and human rights, first campaigning against apartheid in South Africa before they had a record deal. In 2005, the band received Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience Award. U2 provided early and ongoing philanthropic funding for Music Generation, Ireland’s national music education program, whose mission is to empower young people across the island of Ireland to realize their full potential through access to high-quality lessons in how to play, sing and create music.

In addition to these joint efforts, Bono co-founded sister organizations ONE and (RED) to pressure governments and businesses to do more in the fight against AIDS and extreme poverty, and he played a key role in persuading President Bush to create PEPFAR (President’s Emergency Program for AIDS Relief), which has saved 26 million lives to date. Following the devastation of Hurricane Katrina in 2005, The Edge co-founded Music Rising to replace instruments and equipment for musicians, schools and music programs affected by disaster. Adam Clayton, who was honored with the MusiCares Stevie Ray Vaughan Award in 2017, has spoken openly about recovery and supported efforts focused on addiction and mental health, including Ireland’s Walk in My Shoes initiative. Larry Mullen Jr. has brought attention to dyslexia and learning differences through his involvement as a producer of the documentary Left Behind. These efforts represent distinct areas of focus for each member while also reflecting a history of shared activism and campaigning by the band.

“Throughout their career, U2 has demonstrated the extraordinary power of music to bring people together, draw attention to urgent needs and inspire action,” said Theresa Wolters, Executive Director of MusiCares. “Bono, The Edge, Adam, and Larry have each found meaningful ways to put their voices and resources to work for others, while together U2 has supported causes spanning global health, disaster response, addiction recovery, mental health, and access to music education. What resonates so strongly with MusiCares is their belief that success in music comes with an opportunity to care for the people around you. We are proud to recognize artists that have spent decades pairing extraordinary artistry with a genuine sense of service.”

MusiCares previously honored Bono as the 2003 MusiCares Person of the Year for his impact through both music and activism. The 2027 recognition tells a broader story: one of four bandmates who, together and through causes personal to each of them, have spent decades putting the platform of U2 in service of others. From expanding access to music and supporting people in recovery to responding to humanitarian crises and campaigning against injustice, their work reflects a shared belief in using their music and the spotlight of their success to bring about change.

“We are huge fans of MusiCares and the lifelines they provide across the incredible pool of talent that is the music industry. We've been recording and touring for 50 years because of that pool, from producers and engineers to carpenters and riggers. 'Persons of the Year' couldn't be a better title as it’s the people we’ve been so fortunate to work with, and of course our indomitable audience, that have given us the opportunity to keep making music and keep rocking the boat on things we really care about. It’s such an honour, and we’re very excited to be in the front row of our first ever U2 gig...we know we’re gonna be outplayed,” said U2.

The MusiCares Persons of the Year ceremony is one of the most anticipated events of Grammy Week. The evening features a cocktail reception, dinner and a tribute concert with performances by renowned artists celebrating U2’s music and humanitarian work.

Since 1991, the Person of the Year gala has raised funds to support MusiCares’ programs, including health and wellness services, addiction recovery, mental health, preventive care, disaster relief, and financial assistance for music professionals. U2 joins a distinguished list of MusiCares honorees including Mariah Carey, the Grateful Dead, Jon Bon Jovi, Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson, and Joni Mitchell.

The event will again be produced by live event broadcast outfit Lewis & Clark, made up of Joe Lewis and R.A. Clark.

For the first time, MusiCares will open the tribute concert portion to a broader audience, giving more fans the opportunity to come together, celebrate and honor the band. Individual theater seats and gala dinner tables are now available for purchase at musicares.org/personoftheyear. For more information about the event or sponsorship opportunities, please visit www.musicares.org or email personoftheyear@musicares.org.

ABOUT U2
Formed in Dublin in 1976, U2 have toured the globe countless times, released 15 studio albums, sold 175 million albums and won numerous awards, including 22 Grammys and Amnesty International’s Ambassador of Conscience award.

U2’s fourteenth studio album Songs Of Experience – the companion release to 2014’s Songs Of Innocence - was released in December 2017 debuting at #1 on the Billboard 200, setting U2 apart as the only band in history to have topped the chart in four successive decades.

In 2018, the U2 hit the road with the eXPERIENCE + iNNOCENCE Tour, an arena production which saw the band continue to push the creative boundaries of technology and engineering. And following 2017’s acclaimed stadium run with The Joshua Tree Tour - the record-breaking smash hit tour celebrating the band’s seminal 1987 album The Joshua Tree – The Joshua Tree Tour took U2 to New Zealand, Australia, and Japan, as well as bring “the biggest band in the world” (The Guardian) to Singapore, Seoul, Manila and Mumbai for the very first time. In November 2019, the band released a track in collaboration with A.R. Rahman titled ‘Ahimsa’, which was performed live at Mumbai’s, D.Y. Patil Stadium. In 2020, SiriusXM and U2 announced the launch of U2 X-Radio, a complete immersion into the work and influences of the band from the Northside of Dublin, all curated by U2. Songs Of Surrender – a collection of 40 seminal U2 songs from across the band’s catalogue, re-recorded and reimagined for 2023 in sessions spanning the last two years – was released on March 17, 2023, topping the album charts around the world including the UK and Ireland.

Acknowledged as the best live acts in the world, U2 have always – since their earliest days, including the industry-defining ZOO TV Tour which broke the mold in 1991 - consistently pushed the boundaries of live performance, with ground-breaking stage shows that embrace the latest in technology and innovation most recently with U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere which lit up Las Vegas for a critically-acclaimed 40-date run to launch the world’s most state-of-the-art venue, Sphere. This ambitious creative project from the band, U2:UV Achtung Baby Live At Sphere saw U2 work once again with longtime creative collaborator and show director Willie Williams, as well as artists including Es Devlin, John Gerrard and Marco Brambilla. A brand new track titled ‘Atomic City’, produced by Jacknife Lee and Steve Lillywhite, was released on September 29, 2023 ahead of the Las Vegas shows at Sphere. The band marked the 20th anniversary of their critically-acclaimed eight-time Grammy-winning album How To Dismantle An Atomic Bomb with the release of a shadow album titled How To Re-Assemble An Atomic Bomb (2024), which includes new, unreleased songs discovered in the archive of the original album recording sessions, including the tracks ‘Country Mile’ and ‘Luckiest Man In The World’.

‘Days Of Ash’, a brand new standalone 6-track EP was released on Ash Wednesday, 18 February 2026, a self-contained collection of five new songs and a poem - ‘American Obituary’, ‘The Tears Of Things’, ‘Song Of The Future’, ‘Wildpeace’, ‘One Life At A Time’ and ‘Yours Eternally’ (ft. Ed Sheeran & Taras Topolia) – which came as an immediate response to current events and inspired by the many extraordinary and courageous people fighting on the frontlines of freedom. A second, separate standalone 6-track EP titled ‘Easter Lily’ was released on Good Friday, a much more reflective set of songs emerging from a more personal, private place that some may retreat to in such times – exploring themes of friendship, loss, hope, and ultimately, renewal.

Latest track ‘Street of Dreams’ is the first song to be taken from the band’s yet-to-be announced new studio album, U2’s first in 9 years, due for release later this year.

#WhomWeMiss @NHL #BarryMelrose #NHLPeachy Commissioner Bettman Statement on the Passing of Barry Melrose


National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman today released the following statement regarding the passing of Barry Melrose:

“From the flowing locks of his distinctive mullet to the flared lapels of his trademark long suit coats, Barry Melrose cut an unmistakable figure whenever you were fortunate enough to run into him at a rink or catch him on your television screen. You were even more fortunate if you engaged him in conversation or listened to his analysis, because he never failed to boost your love of the game of hockey.

“A rangy and rugged defenseman from Kelvington, Saskatchewan, Barry fashioned an 11-year pro career in the NHL, AHL and WHA. But it was as a coach, who guided the Los Angeles Kings to the 1993 Stanley Cup Final, and as a broadcaster, who spent 27 years at ESPN, that he truly made his mark upon the game. And during those countless encounters over the years with players, coaches, fans and viewers who couldn’t help but be drawn in by his enthusiasm.

“We mourn the passing of a hockey original. And we send our deepest condolences to his wife, Cindy, their sons, Tyrell and Adrien, and all of his teammates, colleagues and admirers around the hockey world.”

Following the success of the Maison's Fall-Winter 2025 and Spring-Summer 2026 campaigns, KARL LAGERFELD is delighted to announce the extension of its relationship with global entrepreneur, media personality and cultural icon Paris Hilton, continuing a partnership that has resonated with audiences around the world.

As the face of the Maison through Fall-Winter 2026 and Spring-Summer 2027, Paris Hilton returns for the next chapter of KARL LAGERFELD's From Paris With Love story, continuing to bring her signature confidence, wit and individuality. Photographed for the first time by Matt Easton, the Fall-Winter 2026 campaign introduces a new dimension to the narrative while remaining true to the House's established codes.

At the heart of the Fall-Winter 2026 story, two masters of self-reinvention meet. Making his debut is NOT-KARL, a charismatic digital character and new member in the brand’s world. Appearing alongside Paris Hilton, he brings a fresh dimension to the storytelling. Set against a series of retro multi-screen televisions, he appears throughout the campaign with Paris, bringing contrast, humor and playful irreverence to the narrative - marking the first step in NOT-KARL’s broader story beyond this season.

“Paris has brought energy, authenticity and a strong sense of individuality to our campaigns over the past two seasons,” says Pier Paolo Righi, CEO of Karl Lagerfeld. “Continuing that relationship while introducing NOT-KARL feels particularly meaningful. As a new member of the brand’s world, he brings wit and irreverence, creating an unexpected dialogue with Paris and giving us new and innovative ways to play with format, storytelling and perspective while remaining true to Karl’s point of view.”

Together, Paris Hilton and NOT-KARL form an unexpected on-screen duo, their contrasting personalities creating a playful dynamic throughout the campaign. Their exchanges create a sense of spontaneity within the story, while reinforcing the campaign’s central themes of individuality and self-reinvention.

“Continuing the relationship feels incredibly special,” says Paris Hilton. “Every campaign has felt like its own moment, and I love that we keep finding new ways to bring our worlds together. Having NOT-KARL on set made this shoot feel so iconic and just unexpected — it brought such a magical energy. I’m excited for what’s to come next!”

This season, Paris is joined by Kit Butler as the face of menswear. With his understated confidence and strong fashion profile, Kit is a contemporary counterpart to Paris, and their long-standing friendship lends effortless chemistry.

There are also two special cameo appearances to watch out for, adding a playful note to the story.

The Fall-Winter 2026 collection brings together sharp tailoring, elevated outerwear and the graphic simplicity that defines the House. Rendered in a predominantly monochromatic palette, the collection balances strong silhouettes with refined details, from a long white shirt inspired by tuxedo dressing to the K/Autograph bag range, one of the season's defining accessories.

The Fall-Winter 2026 campaign will launch globally across digital, social, print and out-of-home platforms beginning September 1st, 2026, bringing together the KARL LAGERFELD, KARL LAGERFELD JEANS and KARL LAGERFELD PARIS collections under a single creative narrative.

The campaign will be celebrated during Paris Fashion Week with a special event hosted by the Maison. Further details will be announced early September.

#GothamGadgets #GermanyPeachy Jack Huynh showed how Personal AI is transforming the relationship between people and technology and opens new possibilities

IFA Berlin, the world’s largest event for Consumer Electronics, Home Appliances and Future Tech, opened the first official day of IFA 2026 with AMD’s Opening Keynote, spotlighting the growing importance of artificial intelligence and high-performance computing for the consumer technology market. On the Innovation Stage, Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager of AMD's Computing and Graphics Group, showed how Personal AI is transforming the relationship between people and technology and opening new opportunities in everyday life and the workplace. Huynh offered insights into the next era of computing, in which artificial intelligence is becoming more personal and proactive.

“Jack Huynh illustrated how artificial intelligence is now shaping the entire technology market. AI is making technology more personal, more intuitive, and an increasingly natural part of our everyday lives. The keynote compellingly demonstrated the additional potential unlocked when powerful hardware and intelligent applications work together,” says Leif Lindner, CEO of IFA Management GmbH.

AI expands human potential

In the IFA Opening Keynote, Jack Huynh explained that computers will not only become more powerful but will also understand people better: what they are doing, what they want to achieve and what matters at that particular moment. They will be able to work alongside people, adapt to their needs, and help turn an intention into a tangible outcome.

Using examples from research, healthcare, and mobility, Huynh demonstrated the potential of AI technology. In science, it is already helping to advance cancer research, develop new energy concepts, and accelerate discoveries. Much like electricity, AI is beginning to become a natural part of everyday life.

AI is also opening up new possibilities in the workplace: it reduces repetitive tasks and facilitates collaboration across different areas of a business. Its purpose is to complement human creativity, judgement and expertise. Open infrastructures and consistent software make it possible to develop and test AI applications securely and deploy them across an organisation. Watch the full AMD keynote from IFA 2026 here: IFA Berlin | Keynote AMD

“It was an honor to open IFA and share my vision for the Era of Personal AI and the future of imagination. We are entering a new era of computing, where AI will change not only how we use technology, but what we can imagine, create, and accomplish with it. That is what excites me most about this moment. Personal AI has the potential to make technology more intuitive, more capable, and more human, giving each of us new ways to turn our ideas into reality. We are only at the beginning of this journey, and I believe the greatest breakthroughs will come when technology expands not only what we can do, but what we dare to imagine,” says Jack Huynh, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Computing and Graphics Group at AMD.

About IFA Berlin

IFA Berlin is the world's leading event for home and consumer technologies and celebrates over a century of innovation. Since 1924, IFA Berlin has been the leading global platform where technology leaders, innovators and industry experts come together to showcase groundbreaking products and shape the future of consumer electronics. The event takes place every year in September in Berlin.

#CruisingPeachy @IndyCar Kucharczyk Romps to Win, Johnson Captures Title in Finale

Tymek Kucharczyk got his revenge, and Nikita Johnson got the crown Sunday in the INDY NXT by Firestone season finale.

Kucharczyk ran away to victory in the second race of the Grand Prix of Monterey doubleheader in the No. 71 HMD Motorsports car one day after his title hopes in the INDYCAR development series were ended when he was hit and spun by a rival on the first lap.


“Really proud of the work,” Kucharczyk said. “Everyone on the team did amazing. Big congrats to Nikita. What can I say? ‘What if’ if yesterday didn’t happen? But nevertheless, really proud of today. We maximized what we had.”

Johnson dodged a first-lap incident in today’s 30-lap race and cruised to a distant second place in the No. 21 Cape Motorsports Powered by ECR machine to clinch the season championship and an INDYCAR SERIES career enhancement package. Johnson, from St. Petersburg, Florida, became the youngest champion in series history at 18 years, 3 months and 12 days old.

He finished 29 points ahead of season runner-up Enzo Fittipaldi in the No. 67 HMD Motorsports entry to clinch the first INDY NXT championship for longtime junior open-wheel team Cape Motorsports, owned by brothers Dominic and Nicholas Cape.

“It’s amazing,” Johnson said. “It’s good to finally show my emotions. I think a lot of people thought I was passionless, but I’m just emotionless when I drive, right? I just go out there and do the work. I’m happy that the work is done now, and I can finally go celebrate.”

Lochie Hughes rounded out the podium finishers on a sun-splashed California morning in the No. 26 Andretti Global entry.

Jacob Abel finished fourth in the No. 48 Abel Motorsports car, while Fittipaldi rounded out the top five.

For the second straight day, a first-lap incident was the major flashpoint of the race.

On Saturday, contact from Myles Rowe in the No. 99 Abel Motorsports with Force Indy machine sent Kucharczyk into a spin and to the bottom of the field on the first lap. He recovered to finish 10th, but his title hopes were over after entering the weekend third, 29 points behind leader Johnson.

In this race, Saturday winner Josh Pierson said he had an apparent mechanical malfunction while starting second that caused his No. 29 Starchive Andretti car to sputter on an upshift just past the flag stand. That hesitation led to contact from behind from the No. 12 Abel Motorsports machine of Milwaukee winner Max Garcia. Pierson’s car spun and collected the No. 10 Chip Ganassi Racing entry of Niels Koolen, and both cars careened into the gravel and were out of the race.

Johnson, who started fifth, avoided the melee that triggered the only caution period of the race and powered to second place for the only restart. Pole sitter Kucharczyk left no doubt about his intent on the restart on Lap 5, pulling away immediately.

The Polish rookie then inexorably drove away from the field, building a lead of nearly four seconds by Lap 11, five seconds by Lap 15 and 7.3 seconds by Lap 24.

Kucharczyk then cruised to his second victory of his first season of racing in North America, as he also won in May on the Indianapolis Motor Speedway road course. He ended up third in points, 34 behind champion Johnson, after leading all 30 laps today.

“I was pushing every lap,” Kucharczyk said. “I left nothing on the table. I’m really proud. It was an amazing year.”

After the restart, Johnson faced some pressure from Hughes. But Johnson managed the gap and showed the composed driving style that helped him earn nine podium finishes and top-10 results in all 17 races this season. He also was the only driver to complete all 656 laps this season.

“I’m happy that we got it done, and I can’t thank the Cape boys enough,” Johnson said. “They’ve always been in my corner the whole time. My whole family, everybody that supports us back home.”

Owner and Executive Chef Nick Anderer showcases the Italian Branzino
Everyone we tell you about is the best of the best, but there are some that are just a little bit better, like Nick Anderer!  Way back in 2012 when he was a partner in Maialino, Nick worked with us and it has been far too long.  Today, drumroll please, we'd like to introduce you to his newest restaurant baby (and there is an older restaurant sibling, stay tuned): Leon's!
From the moment we walked in, gracious hospitality was effervescent and Rosemary Focaccia welcomed us beautifully to the venue named after owner Natalie Johnson's great-grandfather Leon; Leon was born in Alexandria, Egypt and raised in Naples in Southern Italy.  This concept is unique and intoxicatingly delicious; you will be amazed for days after dining at how such a singular sensation of Italian Egyptian combination has escaped everyone else in the world and be even more bowled over by exactly how they did it, particularly with the Brick Chicken Baharat.  But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Leon's opened in November 2024 at 817 Broadway at 12th Street in Greenwich Village, and we regret not going first two years ago.  You'll discover 120 indoor seats and 24 outdoor seats, seasonally.
From every angle, the Frico Friulano with Garlic Chives are gorgeous, and the fragrant herbaceous Aperitivi is the last word in a literal warm welcome that hits the spot.  The flavor combination is victorious and this is a must to start with any time of the year.  Carpaccio di Funghi Trifolati, below, is skillfully sliced and a total bastion of sophisticated deliciousness and just smashing on a hot day to elevate your palate.  Also as you see, it is artfully arranged.
Arugula San Marco is perfectly punctuated with stone fruit: namely, red plums and is lightly dressed with a perfect composition in both quality and proportion to each other of lemon juice, olive oil and aged balsamic.  If you have read our other 31,000 posts, you know we nearly never want anyone to dress our salads because we want to taste the salad and not the dressing, however, in this case, we trust Nick to do it right and he did.  It is more than okay to order this salad dressed.
There are six pasta selections on the current menu found under Primi, of course.  
40% of the menu is signature and unchanged during the year, while the other 60% fluctuates seasonally.  Leon's is the height of competitiveness in seasonal menus, changing it MONTHLY, as in twelve times a year!  Can you hear Peachy applauding?!  They are clearly in it to win it and are an obvious choice for the discriminating diner who is the last word in Manhattan sophistication who is easily bored by lesser places.  Leon's is simply the least boring and most delicious place you haven't been to yet.
First, meet Spaghetti alla Nerano, above, inspired by the Amalfi coast.  It's ideally al dente and if you don't eat meat or fish, this has your name all over it. Zucchini caramelized is the superstar here and it's a garden of glory.
If you are an avid reader, you know there is a Peachy's Pick that has clam in the name that has a commanding presence for this next dish in Manhattan history.
Leon's Linguine alle Vongole bianco is the most competitive we have seen anywhere next to this, and note you can also have it macchiato if your little heart so desires.  This clam concoction is simply extraordinary from the sublime flavor to the clams themselves.
Note if you are new to us, you should know we never edit pictures.
You excel like Natalie and Nick, or we do not publish.
There's no need for filtering photos when you are as talented as Nick is, anyway!
The final pasta firework of our inaugural visit to Leon's was the Bucatini all'Amatriciana Estiva, which means summery fresh cherry tomato sauce!  Guanciale joins the party upping the flavor for the carnivorous among us and the Shatta says enchante to your palate!  It's an Egyptian style chili paste made on premises that you must add to your dining repertoire.  Finally, Pecorino seals in the pasta perfection.
Branzino is offered in an Italian or Egyptian style, half or whole.
We had whole Italian: olive oil roasted with potatoes, delivered every day from the Mediterranean Sea.  The freshness was brilliant and every bite was pure luxury.  Usually it is joined by an arugula salad, however since Peachy already had one, Nick created a bespoke wild mustard and green mix with heirloom cherry tomatoes of both red and green, halved.  If Peachy counted the best salads she had anywhere this season on one hand, this would be one finger.
Everyone knows we are not a one-trick pony and do not write on one discipline: we write on the concept of excellence.  We also happen to write on sports and fashion and New York Yankees: do not let Nick's fashion sense escape you and you know where to go for dinner next.
Contorni, the side section, has five choices and the Market Greens Strascinati captured our attention.
You will not find all the usual suspects here: you find nuances you will be excited about.
When you discover their innate deliciousness, you will know that this is not a venue that is all hype and trend with no substance but rather a creative, proven, remarkable homage to real quality.  Summer Cabbage captures this idea and it's the most elevated standalone vegetable you'll find in New York this season.  We don't think we've been this excited about cabbage ever without Corned Beef, and never before in the summer.
We bet you've never had Brick Chicken Baharat before; we certainly hadn't.
You need to: it is the superstar here, tantalizing our tastebuds and the chicken is sourced from Snowdance Farm.
Dull, tedious, and monotonous chickens from many other venues look upon this gem with great envy, hoping one day they will be such a singular sensation.
A charred half heritage bird with tahina and shatta (sauce) is ready to light up your life if you just go to Leon's and order it.  Its moistness is notable; it's marinated overnight in yogurt and a bespoke spice blend that yields tremendous flavor: paprika is dominant while allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg and clove in perfect proportion sing backup as backbone flavors.  The result is pure genius and you have to have it.
You have to.
All the old paintings on the tombs
They do the sand dance don't you know?
...Foreign types with the hookah pipes say
Way-oh way-oh way-oh way-oh
Eat like an Italian Egyptian

At Leon's!

We can't wait to see what Leon's does next as we are immensely impressed.

A final firework by Leon's wife, Natalie's great-grandmother: Grand-Mere Lucie's Tarte au Citron!
Lucie was born in Alexandria and her primary language is French.
Shortbread crust, lemon curd and toasted meringue seal the deal.

Our Story

Leon’s is a neighborhood Italian restaurant with French and Egyptian accents from Natalie Johnson and Nick Anderer (also of Anton’s in the West Village). The restaurant is inspired by Natalie’s heritage (named after her great grandfather, Leon Hakim) and the couple's travels together across the Mediterranean.

Leon’s spotlights Anderer’s deep passion for Italian cuisine, as well as his thoughtful interpretations of treasured Hakim family recipes and culinary traditions passed down by way of Egypt and France. The restaurant’s beverage program, helmed by Johnson, complements and enhances the culinary offerings, highlighting winemakers, brewers, and distillers the couple and their team admire. The restaurant’s lovely, transporting design evokes the quiet, weathered beauty of an Italian seaside town, celebrates natural light, and preserves key architectural details of our building (circa 1895). The duo spent years hand-selecting the furniture, fixtures, and art that adorn the space; a dining room awash in custom plaster walls inspired by a winemaker visit in Abruzzo (designed in collaboration with Fresco Decorative Arts), sculptural lights from Vincenzo Oste at Atelier Ines in Naples, and a striking oil painting from the talented French artist Roman Cochet.

We hope to welcome you soon!

Natalie & Nick
About Natalie & Nick

Nick Anderer (Executive Chef) and Natalie Johnson (Beverage Director) are husband-and-wife co-owners of Leon's and Anton's. In the spirit of its sibling Anton’s, Leon’s hopes to become a convivial gathering place for locals and visitors alike, open from early morning until late in the evening (serving continuously from breakfast through dinner). Leon’s arrival in November 2024 coincides with the fifth anniversary of Anton's opening (November 11, 2019).

The pair met while working together at Danny Meyer’s Union Square Hospitality Group, Nick as Executive Chef and Managing Partner at both Maialino and Marta, and Natalie as a Sommelier. A native New Yorker, Nick began his culinary career working at The Water Club and Babbo, before spending a year cooking in Rome and Milan. From there, Nick joined the kitchen team of Gramercy Tavern where he served as Sous Chef to Tom Colicchio, and later Executive Sous Chef to Mike Anthony. Overall, Nick spent 15 notable years in leadership across Union Square Hospitality Group restaurants - Gramercy Tavern, Maialino, and Marta.

It was during his time at Gramercy Tavern that Nick’s deep appreciation for seasonal vegetables, and the farmers that grow them, took shape. From there, he went on to open two flagship Italian restaurants - Maialino (2009) and Marta (2014) - serving as Executive Chef and Managing Partner for both. Both restaurants separately garnered widespread praise, and each earned Two Stars from the New York Times under his leadership. In addition to numerous media accolades, Chef Nick is a two-time James Beard “Best Chef, New York City” semifinalist (2014, 2015), and has appeared as a guest chef and guest judge on various food television shows.

Natalie believes wine service should be accessible, relatable, and fun. At Leon's and Anton's, she facilitates tasting and discovery through meticulously-developed, incredibly-deep bottle lists and a truly inspired, generous by-the-glass program. Natalie oversees two distinct, thoughtfully-conceived cocktail programs that range in style from light, aromatic aperitivi, to spirit-forward riffs on classics, and a selection of playful shaken treats.

Natalie initially moved to NYC to pursue her love of restaurants as a line cook at Jim Lahey’s Co. in Chelsea. Prior to opening Anton’s, Natalie served as the Beverage Director of Loring Place, a beloved Greenwich Village restaurant from Chef Dan Kluger. Natalie created the opening wine list and later managed the entire Beverage operation for the restaurant, including the full Wine and Cocktail program. Natalie previously worked in the Front-of-House teams in several acclaimed restaurants with celebrated wine programs across the country, including Frasca (Boulder, CO), Sorella (NYC), Otto (NYC), and Marta (NYC). In 2019, Natalie was recognized as a “Rising Star Sommelier” by Star Chefs.

Natalie, Nick, and their young sons Raphael and Romeo live in the East Village, not far from where Nick grew up.

#GothamGadgets #MoverandShaker Jake Dyson Unveils A New Era of Intelligent Machines


Jake Dyson unveiled the next generation of new Dyson products, with a range of machines that incorporate advanced intelligence, signaling a fundamental shift in the way Dyson's products deliver their unique levels of performance.

Speaking at the Dyson Unveiled event in Berlin, Jake Dyson, Chief Engineer said:

Dyson CameraJet™

Dyson R3 Nurovi™ Spot+Scrub™ UV

Dyson HushJet™ Hot Cool Pure+ air purifier

Dyson W1 PencilWash™ + Dok™

Dyson Airsmooth™ dryer brush

"We've always been very focused on the mechanical engineering of a product, spending decades honing the physical way that each machine performs. Now we have shifted from purely mechanical devices to intelligent machines that can see, think, and respond. We're using artificial intelligence, vision systems, and machine learning to allow the machines to understand the environment they are operating in. The approach is the same, whether it's operating in your mouth, on your hair or around your home."

Dyson revealed 10 new products built around this new concept of intelligence, including:The Dyson CameraJet™, the first toothbrush with a camera to target the gaps and remove plaque between your teeth
The Dyson Robot Nurovi™range, featuring advanced intelligence to deliver unprecedented cleaning
The Dyson HushJet™ air purification range, with a new design that delivers powerful, quiet and intelligent air throughout the home
The Dyson W1 PencilWash™, reengineered for a mirror finish on your floors, with ultimate convenience
The Dyson Corrale Coolshine™ straightener – next generation straightening technology
The Dyson Airsmooth™, featuring patented dual-bristle technology to dry, lift and smooth with ease.
MyDyson™, our unique customer promise

The Dyson CameraJet™, the first toothbrush with a camera to target the gaps and remove plaque between your teeth.

Dyson CameraJet™ introduces a new way to brush teeth by combining brushing, targeted liquid flossing, and mouthwash dispensing in one connected device.

Developed over six years by 661 Dyson engineers, the Dyson CameraJet™ is designed to address common issues in oral care: missed interdental spaces, inconsistent flossing, and brushing that falls short of recommended routines. The system scans 28 live images per second, uses 16 million lines of code, and has been trained on over 470,000 dental images to identify and target gaps between teeth, where plaque most often builds up.

Dyson has engineered a range of new technologies for the Dyson CameraJet™: a conical jet that removes plaque more effectively while remaining gentle on gums and ename1; an anti-gravity tank that delivers controlled mouthrinse jets from any angle; a dual-bristle brush head designed to cover more of the tooth surface; and variable sonic oscillation to help prevent bristle stalling in hard-to-reach areas. The Dyson CameraJet™ is Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connected, enabling live viewing, guided cleaning, coverage mapping, personalized feedback, and customizable brushing and jetting modes through the MyDyson™ app, while images are not recorded or stored on the product or in the cloud.

Introducing the new Dyson Robot Nurovi range

The new Dyson Nurovi range brings unprecedented cleaning intelligence to the home, with Dyson innovation across the new suite of machines. Why Nurovi? Because we have combined our Neural Intelligence technology with our latest Vision system to create a range that's intelligent, highly engineered, and uniquely Dyson.

The Dyson R3 Nurovi Spot+Scrub™ UV, our most advanced wet and dry robot that reveals, identifies, and eliminates invisible stains with UV-enhanced AI2.

The new Dyson R3 Nurovi™ Spot+Scrub UV features advanced AI stain detection system combining UV light, AI vision, and green illumination to identify nearly 200 types of household substances and objects, cleaning repeatedly until stains are removed3. The self-cleaning wet roller uses a 12-point hydration system which continuously applies fresh,158°F heated water to simultaneously lift and remove stubborn stains, while self-cleaning itself on every rotation.

The Dyson R3 Nurovi™ Spot+Scrub UV maximizes cleaning potential with a full width microfiber roller that extends 1.6in (40mm) to clean right up to edges of the room, while a 30,000 Pa motor delivers 65% more suction pressure4 for powerful dry cleaning across both hard floors and carpets. The hygienic cyclonic, bagless dock automatically empties, cleans and recharges after every clean.

The Dyson R2 Nurovi™ Wash+Dry, featuring Reuleaux triangle pads with constant-width geometry to wash right into corners

Many robot mops rely on circular mopping pads, which struggle to reach right into the corners. Inspired by the Reuleaux triangle – a triangular shape formed from three circular arcs – the new Dyson Reuleaux triangle pads maintain a constant width, moving smoothly with a precise eccentric movement pattern to create a square cleaning finish that gets right into corners. And the deep cleaning is enhanced with 167°F water, heated at the dock to aid the removal of stubborn stains.

The R2 Nurovi™ also features Dyson's new Twin-capture system, which separates fine and coarse debris to maximize cleaning efficiency. Bristles on the brush bar mechanically sweep larger debris directly into the machine, reducing reliance on suction power, while the vacuum motor focuses on capturing fine dust and smaller particles. By combining mechanical pick-up with focused, powerful suction, the new Twin-capture system enables our robot vacuums to deliver more efficient and consistent cleaning performance across different debris types. Finally, the Acoustic piezo sensor intelligently detects dust levels and floor types in real time, automatically adapting suction power5 and cleaning behavior for optimal cleaning performance across different surfaces.

The Dyson R1 Nurovi™ Dry, engineered for superior cleaning results on hard floors and carpets

The new Dyson R1 Nurovi™ Dry machine features the same Twin-capture technology in the R2, with 21,000 Pa suction to deep clean dry floors. The R1 Nurovi™ Dry also shares the same redesigned side sweeper system, engineered at a precise angle, with a webbed connector that actively controls the pressure and direction of the brushes. This ensures dust and debris are guided into the airflow path in a more controlled and efficient manner, rather than being scattered, while reducing hair wrapping and tangling around the bristles. The side sweepers also extend outward to reach closer to walls and into corners, improving coverage in areas that are typically missed.

The new Dyson W1 PencilWash™+Dok™ reengineered to deliver a mirror finish with the same 'grab-and-go' convenience, now with self-cleaning

New Robots weren't the only new machines coming to Dyson's floorcare range – the Berlin event also saw the launch of the new Dyson W1 PencilWash, an upgrade on the first PencilWash wet cleaner launched in early 2026. The new W1 PencilWash has been reengineered to add a more absorbent roller and a hygienic waste system for improved performance, as well as self-cleaning technology on the dock, all in the same lighter, slimmer design for maximum cleaning convenience.

Environmental Care: The Dawn of the HushJet Era

In 2025, Dyson announced a completely new design approach with the launch of the Dyson HushJet Compact Purifier. Then in April 2026, we unveiled the same design in the Dyson HushJet Mini Cool fan, bringing the airflow power you would expect from a Dyson in a portable design that quickly sold out all around the world.

Inspired by aviation, the HushJet Nozzle applies aerospace principles of airflow control to the home. Dyson engineers studied how aircraft reduce noise whilst moving air at extreme speeds, using complex geometries to control turbulence at its source. This principle – that form can be used to control both air and sound – went on to inform how Dyson engineers approached the problem of noise caused by powerful airflow. Today, Dyson introduces the same advanced airflow technology across its range of air purifiers, heaters and coolers, bringing unprecedented levels of air projection in a new forward-facing design.

The Dyson HushJet™ Big+Quiet Cool Pure+ Formaldehyde air purifier

The largest model in the range, and Dyson's most powerful purifier, the Dyson HushJet™ Big+Quiet Cool Pure+ Formaldehyde air purifier is designed for those who want to clean multiple rooms quickly without compromise6. Using Dyson HushJet air projection engineering, the purifier achieves long range projection, enabling improved room mixing and multi-room purification.

At its core, a low pressure, high flow compressor works in combination with a three-stage filtration system that captures particulates, gases and destroys formaldehyde to deliver market-leading CADR, capturing 99.999% of pollutants as small as 0.01 microns7. All while operating quietly, for powerful purification that feels unobtrusive in everyday life.

The Dyson HushJet™ Pure Cool+ Formaldehyde air purifier

Designed as a high-performance medium-format purifier, the Dyson HushJet™ Pure Cool+ Formaldehyde air purifier delivers powerful purification in a more compact format, making it ideal for those looking to clean large spaces quickly without stepping up to a full-scale system. The new machines deliver up to 3x more powerful purification compared to its predecessors8, projecting clean air far into the room for improved whole-room purification, while providing personal cooling9.

The Dyson HushJet™ Hot Cool Pure+ air purifier

Engineered as Dyson's most powerful 3-in-1 purifier, the Dyson HushJet™ Hot Cool Pure+ air purifier brings purification, heating and personal cooling9 together in one product, designed to deliver comfort throughout the year. Ideal for spaces where thermal comfort and air quality control need to work together; it uses HushJet air projection to deliver powerful airflow that can be both heated and cooled for maximum home comfort.

Next-generation straightening technology: Corrale CoolShine™ straightener

The Corrale CoolShine™ straightener is a breakthrough in hot-plate styling that redefines how hair is straightened, shaped, and finished. Engineered with precision heat control, flexing plates and active cooling, Dyson's latest hair care innovation delivers glossy, sleek straight results with less heat damage10, and is engineered to allow for fewer passes and next-level styling control.

At the heart of Corrale Cool Shine is Dyson's first-of-its-kind cooling attachment, engineered with heat-extracting pipes that contain a precisely controlled amount of water. As heat is applied during styling, the heat-extracting pipes draw excess heat away from the hair, cooling it down as you style, and helping to reduce residual heat exposure. The result is hair that is cooler to the touch during and after styling, with a smoother, softer feel.

Paired with the pioneering flexing plate technology from the original Corrale hair straightener, this technology addresses the core compromise of hot-plate styling: achieving sleek, lasting results while reducing unnecessary heat exposure. Hair is left cooler to the touch, soft, and with up to 154% more shine versus untreated hair. Lightweight and compact, Corrale Coolshine also delivers improved maneuverability, faster styling, controlled straightening with fewer passes, and styles that last for up to 24 hours.

Faster drying, controlled styling and healthier hair: Dyson Airsmooth™ dryer brush

The Dyson Airsmooth is Dyson's first dedicated dryer brush, engineered to simplify everyday styling routines without compromising results. Bringing together Dyson's pioneering airflow technology with new PivotFlex™ and Anti-snag bristle technology, it is designed to dry, smooth and lift hair with ease, helping to create a polished natural blowout across all hair types.

At the heart of the machine is a patented dual bristle system designed to guide hair, not fight it. Anti-snag bristles use a unique looped structure that collapses to release strands with ease, reducing snagging11 and improving scalp comfort while styling. PivotFlex bristles leverage an open-base design to diffuse and control high-pressure airflow, minimizing frizz12 and hair disturbance. Flexing up to 90 degrees, the tapered profile helps hair wrap and release smoothly, creating tension without tangles. Arranged in a teardrop formation, the two bristle types work together to stretch curls and coils, reduce frizz and smooth hair from root to tip, in a single motion.

Supported by intelligent heat control that measures temperature 100 times a second, the Dyson Airsmooth helps deliver a controlled, comfortable styling experience while protecting the integrity of natural curl patterns and textures over time. Designed to stay with you, it also features universal voltage, so you can maintain a consistent, healthy styling routine wherever you are.
