Chefs pitch in for Chelsea Thanksgiving
Danny Chow, a semi-re-tired pastry chef who has spent his career feeding the rich, the famous and run of the mill wedding guests in Manhattan hotels, says the most satisfying meal he’s made recently are the des-serts he bakes at Gay Men’s Health Crisis, a social ser-vices organization in Chel-sea that’s gearing up for a big Thanksgiving.
On Monday morning, Chow poured brownie batter into rows of baking pans.
“It’s all from real choco-late, real walnut and cher-ry. I make sure the product is fresh, and I make sure it’s not got too many calories, Everything is homemade,” Chow said. “The best thing I ever heard from them is ‘I never had a brownie like this before.’”

By the numbers

have been filled with some 20 volunteers in the days leading up to Thanksgiv-ing, preparing enough food to feed 500 people.
Many of the volunteers bring years of high-end kitchen experience to the non-profit. GMHC runs also runs health clinics and a food pantry to serve about 9,000 men, women and children affected by HIV/AIDS.
Philip Filiato, a retired chef and Broadway per-former who has prepared continental cuisine at Lin-coln Center, and ran the Hamilton Club in Patter-son, New Jersey, is doing prep work for the kitchen’s
chefs. “I add my knowledge to
whatever is going on here in the kitchen … whatever they need me to do, I do it,” said Filiato, who’s been working in kitchens since he was 15.
“They need help, and I don’t mind helping,” he said.
Food security is a top issue for GMHC’s clients, and an estimated two out of five New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS don’t have enough food, according to a 2013 study by the Mail-man School of Health at Columbia University.
Chef Gloria Flores, who recently began working
full-time at GMHC after years of volunteering, said her team was preparing more than 300 pounds of turkey, and thousands of pounds of traditional and Southern-inspired sides, for Thanksgiving.
Flores said she wanted to volunteer because her brother died from AIDS in the 1980s. She said she didn’t know what had killed her brother until more than a year after his death, and this “loneli-ness” made her want to give back.
Charity Diaz, 34, a full-time volunteer with New York Cares, has spent the past five years serving people at GMHC, including holiday meals.
“Helping any com-munity is very important, but when you’re not part of that community — I’m straight, I don’t have the virus, I think it’s even more important, because there’s that connection,” Diaz said. “There’s a sense of grati-tude, also knowing that I’m not part of their com-munity, per se.”

The first snowstorm of the season will hit Wednesday, starting off as rain, and leaving 1-3 inches of snow on the ground by night, hampering travelers who will leave town on Thanks-giving Eve.
Rain will begin in the New York City area around sunrise Wednesday then change to snow during the afternoon and end early Wednesday night, Senior Accuweather Meteorolo-gist Tom Kines said in an interview Tuesday.
“While not a major snowstorm for the big cit-ies, there will no doubt be airport delays caused by the rain and snow,” said Kines.
The National Weather Service reports that tem-peratures will drop to 26 degrees on Wednesday, with a 100 percent chance of precipitation and winds ranging from 5 to 9 mph.
The Port Authority made plans to bring in ex-tra staff to bridges, tunnels
and airports in prepara-tion for Wednesday’s weather. PA spokesperson Steve Coleman said that flight cancellations will be made at airlines’ discre-tion.
“Our job here is to keep the facilities and the air-ports and the tunnels and bridges free of snow and operating, and that’s what we’re planning to do,” said Coleman.
The Port Authority ex-pects a 4 percent increase this year in passengers fly-ing out of New York and New Jersey throughout Thanksgiving weekend.

Three hours later, 27-year-old Jason Aitcheson, was struck by a white van near Utica Avenue in Crown Heights. The van dragged him down Utica Avenue before fl eeing the scene.

Council member Marga-ret Chin is introducing legislation to let New Yorkers to identify as
more than one race on city documents.
The bill introduced on Tuesday aims to pro-vide better demographic information, and give New Yorkers the opportu-nity to reflect their racial heritage on documents, including employment and public housing appli-cations.
“Right now, more than 300,000 multiracial
New Yorkers are unfairly forced to choose one race and ignore all others on city documents, just be-cause those documents haven’t caught up with 21st century demograph-ic shifts,” Chin said in a statement.
The U.S. Census start-ed allowing for more than one race box to be checked in 2000.
“I think that people
being able to check more than one box will lead to more demographic sta-tistics the city and state can use to identify the needs of communities,” said Thanu Yakupitiyage, a spokesperson with New York Immigration Coali-tion.

Mayor Bill De Blasio said Tuesday the city’s budget is healthy, and promised to spend more than $43 mil-lion to improve the city’s troubled police depart-ment.
The NYPD will get $28.9 million for in-service train-ing and $13.7 million to boost presence in precincts with the highest number of shootings in previous years.
The earmarks came in a regular update of the city’s financial plan that showed New York with record-high cash reserves. DeBlasio said city spending is on track with an earlier plan released in June.
The NYPD has been under growing public pres-sure following a number of killings of unarmed civil-ians by police and growing tensions between cops and minority communities.
“The Police Depart-ment has a $4 billion budget, so yes these are new expenditures, but it’s a relatively small invest-ment in what they hope will be better policing,” said Doug Turetsky, a
spokesperson for the In-dependent Budget Office, a publicly funded agency that provides nonpartisan information about New York City’s budget.
“It’s still early in the de Blasio administration’s tenure, but so far you don’t see, as some feared, big new expenditures,” he said.
The city’s reserves remain at historic highs, the Mayor’s report said. Turetsky said the city has a $750 million general reserve, $300 million more than it had under former Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
“It’s a buffer,” said Turetsky. “In case some unexpected large expendi-tures come in, you’ve got some money built into the budget already to help you take care of them.”
Standard & Poor’s noted that “the City now has an element of certainty in its financial plan that it lacked in the past” thanks to the administration’s labor agreements, the mayor’s office said in a statement. DAN BUYANOVSKY

After Ferguson
De Blasio says New York must change
New York city must adapt if it’s to avoid the fate of Ferguson, Missouri, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Tuesday at a Bronx soup kitchen.
He spoke the day after a Missouri grand jury declined to indict a
white police officer for the shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.
“We have to make profound changes in our city,” de Blasio said. “We have to make a lot of changes but not through violence.”
De Blasio said earlier Tuesday that he’s giv-ing the New York City Police Department an extra $43 million for
more training and more policing in crime-ridden neighborhoods.
“We approach polic-ing and the relationship between police and com-munity very differently here in New York City,” he said.
Earlier, more than a dozen members of the City Council registered their disgust with the Ferguson verdict by
walking out of a council meeting, the Daily News reported.
Chanting “black lives matter,” they marched to the City Hall rotunda where they took turns denouncing the grand jury decision — and also condemned the recent killings of African-American men by NYPD officers. DAN BUYANOVSKY AND WENDY JOAN BIDDLECOMBE
Several thousand New Yorkers marched through the city streets Tuesday night, briefly shutting down the Lincoln Tunnel in a second night of march-es to protest a Missouri grand jury’s decision not to indict white police of-ficer Darren Wilson in the shooting death of unarmed black teen Michael Brown.
Demonstrators gath-ered again in Union Square, the night after a crowd waited to hear the grand jury’s announce-ment, then began their march, heading for key traffic chokepoints.
Protesters chanted “Turn up, don’t turn down. We do this for Mike Brown.” Some carried placards reading “Jail Kill-er Cops” and “Resistance
is Justified.”New Yorkers have seen
their own police killings, with two unarmed black men, Eric Garner and Akai Gurley, dying at the hands of police in recent months.
Protestors briefly stopped traffic on the FDR Drive and the Wil-liamsburg and Manhattan bridges.
Protesters chanted “The system is corrupt” and “Don’t shoot, hands up,” NY1 reported.
“I’m out here because black lives matter and because a Missouri jury decided to not indict Mike Brown’s killer,” one un-identified protester told the station. Some scuffled with police in Times Square, where cops in riot gear pushed them back and used pepper spray. At least three people were ar-rested, NY1 reported.

Missouri’s governor or-dered hundreds more National Guard troops on Tuesday to the St. Louis suburb rocked by rioting after a white policeman was cleared in the fatal shooting of an unarmed black teenager, while the local mayor said the gov-ernor did not do enough to protect businesses from looting.
Attorneys for the fam-ily of Michael Brown, the 18-year-old shot to death in Ferguson by Officer Darren Wilson in August, condemned as biased the
grand jury process that led to Monday’s decision not to bring criminal charges against Wilson.
About a dozen Fer-guson buildings burned overnight and 61 people were arrested on charges including burglary, illegal weapons possession and unlawful assembly, police said. Police said protest-ers fired guns at them, lit patrol cars on fire and hurled bricks into their lines.
Police fired tear gas and flash-bang canisters at protesters.
“We must do better and we will,” Nixon said.
Criticizing the gov-ernor’s response to the unrest, Ferguson Mayor James Knowles said the National Guard “was not deployed in enough time to save all of our busi-nesses.”
“The decision to delay the deployment of the Na-tional Guard is deeply con-cerning,” Knowles told a news conference. “We are asking that the governor make available and deploy all necessary resources to prevent the further de-struction of property and the preservation of life in the city of Ferguson.”
The unrest came de-spite calls by President Barack Obama and oth-ers for police and protest-ers to exercise restraint. REUTERS

Only three in 10 Americans have HIV under control: CDC
Just 30 percent of Ameri-cans living with HIV have the virus in check, putting others at risk of infection, U.S. health officials said on Tuesday.
The report by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that 840,000 of the 1.2 million people infected with HIV in 2011 were not consistently taking anti-HIV drugs that keep the virus suppressed at very low levels.
Studies have shown that viral suppression can extend the lives of people infected with the virus and can cut the risk of transmit-ting the infection to others by as much as 96 percent.
According to the CDC, the percentage of Americans with HIV who

The legislation, which is seen as compromising equality by diff erentiat-ing between Jewish and non-Jewish citizens in enshrining some symbolic rights to the Jewish people,

Bad times Down Under
for the Jolie-Pitts
The working honeymoon is apparently over for Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who were spotted by paparazzi having an “explosive” argument on a bal-cony of Sydney’s InterContinen-tal Hotel before the Australian premiere of “Unbroken.” “He was clearly exasperated with her. They kept talking over each other and putting their hands up in anger. They were upset but going nowhere. Angie looked like she was on the verge of tears,” a source — who, come on, is obviously the photographer — tells In Touch. And after their red carpet duties they departed Australia — “Brad in one private jet, and Angie in another,” a second source says. Ouch — that’s basically the celeb version of someone sleeping on the couch! 1

Winter movie preview:
Popcorn vs. prestige
December is an awkward time at the movies. The Oscar race is winding down, with studios cranking out the last of their award-
aspiring pictures. At the same time people have time off and want to watch movies. The mainstream and the respectable will intermingle
this winter. Here’s what’s coming from both sides. MATT PRIGGE

What: This is the Ten Commandments story — most famously told in the 1956 Easter staple “The Ten Command-ments” — this time with Christian Bale attempting to wipe away memories of Charlton Heston.

Midwestern audiences ate up tiny religious fi lms such as “God’s Not Dead”; in fact, that fi lm made only $40 million less in America than the super-pricey “Noah.” Audiences could stay relatively chill on this one, too.
‘Top Five’ (Dec. 12)
What: Chris Rock’s third go at directing is an improv-heavy dramedy about a Chris Rock-like movie star (played by Chris Rock) hitting it off with a reporter (Rosario Dawson) the day of his new drama’s release.How populist? Rock made this independently, and it has a rough, handmade quality that could serve as a fresh anti-dote to the season’s studio comedies.
‘The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies’ (Dec. 19)What: Only fi ve armies? The fi nal chapter in an epic take on a 300-page novel fi nally comes to a close, and surely it will test how much Benedict Cumberbatch-voiced dragon fi ghting you can stand before going insane.How populist? These things are bizarrely popular, espe-cially considering how butt-woundingly long they are.

‘Wild’ (Dec. 3)
What: Reese Witherspoon portrays Cheryl Strayed, who hiked some 1,100 miles of the Pacifi c Crest Trail alone. Don’t worry: There are a lot of fl ashbacks, plus a script by Nick Hornby.How prestigious? Witherspoon goes back to her indie roots, when she was one of the most exciting budding stars. Her Strayed is not only haunted — with a deeply traumatic history involving death, divorce and drugs — but also hilari-ously cranky.
‘Inherent Vice’ (Dec. 12, limited; Jan. 9, wide)What: Novelist Thomas Pynchon doesn’t lend himself well to movies, but if anyone could pull it off it’s Paul Thomas Anderson. Joaquin Phoenix plays a hippie P.I. in the ’60s on a seriously convoluted case. (No, really: It’s practically impos-sible to follow or summarize.)How prestigious? This is so goofy and weird that it will almost certainly be polarizing, even among the critical cognoscenti. The audience for this is specifi c and small, though those who get it will be passionate.
‘The Gambler’ (Dec. 19)
What: A remake of one of the ’70s grimmest fi lms, this potty-mouthed drama (written by “The Departed” ’s William Monahan) stars Mark Wahlberg as a self-destructive rich kid who owes a ton of money to three diff erent, scary people.How prestigious? Despite a new ending, this keeps the miserable ’70s vibe, and Wahlberg — who can be dour in dramas — is as electric here as he is in comedies such as “I Heart Huckabees.”

What: It has been 32 years since the John Huston movie of the sometimes blood-curdling stage musical, so here’s one with Quvenzhane Wallis, plus Jamie Foxx as a toupeed Daddy Warbucks — or, wait, he’s called Will Stacks? Where’s the fun in that?How populist? Movies are rarely tailored to little girls, so maybe don’t screw this one up?
‘Into the Woods’ (Dec. 25)What: Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp and a bunch of other popular stars round out Ste-phen Sondheim’s beloved musical, in which fairy tales are mashed together.How populist? The only catch is Sondheim is a musi-cal lover’s musical writer, though his often diffi cult and densely written tunes are here tacked onto a very clever pastiche.

What: The fi rst Hollywood fi lm about Martin Luther King Jr. was made by a black female fi lmmaker, the talented Ava DuVernay (“Middle of Nowhere”), with David Oyelowo as MLK.How prestigious? This might be the most presti-gious fi lm of the year — and it might also be great.
‘American Sniper’ (Dec. 25, limited; Jan. 16, wide)What: At 84, Clint Eastwood has directed two features in 2014 alone, this one with Bradley Cooper as America’s most “successful” sniper.How prestigious?

‘Mr. Turner’ (Dec. 19, limited)What: Filmmaker Mike Leigh is back with another immaculately

‘Penguins of Madagascar’
Directors: Eric Darnell, Simon J. Smith
Voices of: Tom McGrath, Chris Miller
Rating: PG
• • • • •
Animation. ‘Madagascar’ gets its own profoundly strange spin-off
There’s a far amount of cheesy puff -related humor in “Penguins of Madagascar.” / DREAMWORKS ANIMATION
The penguin contingent of the undying “Mada-gascar” franchise finally gets its own spin-off, and a pretty silly one: After trying to rob Fort Knox of its cheesy puff supply, our four aquatic cuties meet an angry octopus (voiced by John Malkovich) who wants to destroy all penguins.
The lowdown Don’t lump the “Madagascar” series — or at least the seriously silly “Penguins of Madagascar” — in with
the other non-Pixar anima-tion behemoths. Despite coming from the dodgy Dreamworks Animation unit, they’re not blandly saccharine, like the “Ice Age” saga. They’re weird, all about jokes. In fact, “Penguins” has the bare minimum of heart you can do while still qualifying as acceptable family fare. Hell, it starts with a Wer-ner Herzog joke — you know, for the kids.
It’s de rigueur for kids’ toons to sneak in stealth parent humor. The ones in
“Penguins” are for deeply strange parents, those who love random insanity and dumb wordplay. It’s top-down weird, from the harebrained plot hatched by Malkovich’s venge-ful mollusk to his octopi minions’ love for Bavarian accordion music. This isn’t top-shelf animated com-edy; it’s more like the try-anything approach of old comic icons, who cranked out jokes just to make ’em laugh. It’s less like “Rio 2” than “Dumb and Dumber To.” MATT PRIGGE

Do you panic every time you get a gas bill in the winter? This year, make moves to stop stressing — without resorting to living in Arctic tundra mode.
Egypt Sherrod, host of HGTV’s “Property Virgins” and a personal finance expert, shows us how to keep heating costs down when the weather outside gets frightful.
Save money on bills this winter Tips. HGTV’s Egypt Sherrod gets our home ready for icy temps — without emptying our wallet.
Proper insulation is the key to saving on energy costs, says Sherrod. PIXLAND
All winter long
Dress your drapes Pick up a few yards of in-sulator fabric and some adhesive Velcro strips. Attach the fabric to your drapes on the window side. And presto! A warmer house in an instant. “My grandmom always did this trick and now it’s ingrained in our
family — you don’t have to be a Martha Stewart to do it,” says Sherrod. “If your drapes have an insulating liner, it can cut your heat loss in half.”
Switch on your ceiling fanMost people only have
ceiling fans spinning when the weather is warm, but they can also benefi t you during the colder months. “There is a switch on most that reverse the direction of air fl ow,” Sherrod says. “This blows your heat back down to you instead of going up through the ceiling and roof.”
Do these now
Give your water heater some TLC
“Once a year, you should completely drain your water heater tank and fl ush out the sediments,” say Sherrod. “It will save you money on your bill because it will make it more effi cient.” Another
tip: Wrap an insulating blanket around your hot water heater to give it extra protection.
Fix the plumbing
Insulate your pipes. “This should be high on your list,” warns Sherrod. “You don’t want your pipes to freeze over.”
“50 percent of energy wasted in winter months comes from uninsulated walls, fl oors, ceiling and attics,” says Sherrod. “It’s like putting a jacket on your house. You wouldn’t go outside in fi ve-degree weather without a coat, and you wouldn’t want your house to be sitting there without insulation either.”
Get cozy
Snuggle up
At night, keep the temperature at 68 degrees and add
comforters to your bed, says the expert. You’ll be warm without breaking
the bank. “You save three percent for every degree you dial down
your heat,” Sherrod says. Of course, this doesn’t work as well for when
you have to get up.

Some maternity clothes can be very cool. I love oversized sweaters — that kind of “boyfriend outfit” — so that’s going to work perfectly for me! I don’t have a big enough bump right now to worry about changing up my style. My advice: Keep your identity.
Are you starting to get into shopping for babywear?[Banana Republic’s creative director] Marissa Webb
If you’re a selfier with just the one default pose (i.e., the pout), then super-model Coco Rocha might just be able to bring a new look to your expressions armory. Her new black-and-white 2,000-page art book, “Study of Pose: 1,000 Poses by Coco Rocha,” is a kind of how-to guide to looking photogenic.
The 26-year-old, who has graced the covers of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar and W as well as fronting campaigns for YSL and Uniqlo, was captured by 100 cameras in a shoot led by New York photogra-pher Steven Sebring back in 2012. Wearing only a simple tan leotard and white leggings, the Cana-dian model, nicknamed the “Queen of Pose,” contorted herself into poses inspired by the likes of Grace Jones and Jessica Rabbit. The project builds upon the success of a viral video in which Rocha does 50 poses in 30 seconds. In fact, Rocha was one of the first models to make a name for herself on social media: She has 1.6 million Instagram followers and growing — along with her baby bump.
Why did you decide to do this book? I’ve been told that I model in very different ways
Insta queen : Coco Rocha Interview. The model on her new art book, taking on motherhood — and maternity wear.
Head to toe
How to pose like a pro
Don’t always try to take pretty pictures. For some reason, in our “selfi e world” we are very inse-cure and always think that there’s this one pose that makes us look amazing. I think it’s important to just be able to relax when we
take a picture, so don’t hesitate to change a look. If you truly want to be-come a model, know your lights — it’s a very impor-tant tool. And I always say you should pose all the way to the tips of your fi ngers and your toes.

compared to other models. I met the photographer Steven Sebring, who has wanted to make an ency-clopedia of poses since the ’90s, and my husband and I thought it was a great idea. We wanted it to be a reference book, not only for models, but also for the art industry.
You’ve announced that you’re pregnant — do you have any tips for other mothers-to-be?
just showed me the new Banana Republic Mini collection. The baby line’s not out yet, but I’m a fa-natic about it. Since we are having a baby girl, I told all my friends and family not to buy me anything pink and to make sure it’s all fashionable. At the moment I don’t care about my own style, I’m all about buying baby clothes.
Are you going to change your lifestyle? I steer clear from any cola and I drink fresh juices and water. Had it been just for me I think after a week I’d be like, “Alright, that was a fun cleanse.” But when you are pregnant, you really think about that other person and you are doing it for them.
Before you were pregnant, what did you do to stay fi t and healthy?[Modeling] is a privilege you owe to your mum and dad. A chunk of it comes down to genetics. I still make sure that I’m eating well and sleeping right. For lunch, I usually have a salad, a sandwich and an orange juice. I’m not one of those people who works out every day. When I’m in the mood I’ll go to the gym. Also, when I go to work, I give 110 percent; if I’m not sweat-ing at the end of a photo shoot, I feel like I haven’t done my job — that’s how I remain healthy.

6T IPS FOR A NOT-SO-STUFFED THANKSGIVING
Are you cooking Thanksgiving dinner? Go to Metro.us for expert turkey tips.
With my tips, this year the only thing that’ll be stuffed at your Thanks-giving table will be the turkey.
1Don’t skip breakfast. Saving your calories for dinner and dessert
by skipping breakfast and lunch can backfire! A smarter option: Start with a protein-packed breakfast, such as nonfat Greek yo-gurt and a piece of fruit, or scrambled eggs (one whole egg and three whites) and an orange, so you’re not
ravenous by dinner.
2Dress for success.In this case, I mean a fitted outfit. You’ll
be less likely to overdo it when you look fabulous in a form-fitting dress or pants. Trust me, this trick works. #NoUnzipping
3Be a smart sipper. It’s not just about the calories in seasonal
cocktails. The alcohol can lower your inhibi-tions and make you more susceptible to tempta-tion. Stick with a glass of wine, Champagne, a light beer or a vodka with club soda and a splash of fruit juice — each is under 150 calories.
4Slim down your stuffi ng. Use broth instead of oil and/
or use low-calorie bread to cut major calories. Add lots of chopped, sauteed veggies for flavor, volume and nutrients.
5Load up on veggies and turkey. Sure, you can enjoy a scoop of
mashed potatoes and stuff-ing, but make sure to load up on the lower-starch, high-fiber veggies, such as green beans (without the fried onion topping), Brussels sprouts and salad. And give yourself a free pass on turkey — white or dark meat — just go easy on the skin!
6Enjoy “skinny jean” pie. You might make it through dinner
with your diet in tact, but

then you hit dessert! Take a look at these numbers: One slice of pumpkin pie has about 320 calories; apple pie has about 420 (or more, if it features a crumb topping instead of a crust); and pecan pie will cost you more than 520 calories per slice. Of course, that’s before you factor in the ice cream and whipped cream. By the time you’ve finished dress-ing up your pie, dessert can add more than 700 calories. An easy way to indulge and save about 100 calories: Cut the crust off.
Recipe
Mini Maple Pumpkin PiesIngredients• 6 mini graham cracker crusts (store-bought)• 1 cup pumpkin puree• ½ cup fat-free milk• 1 egg• 1 egg white• ⅓ cup pure maple syrup• ¾ tsp ground cinnamon• ⅛ tsp ground nutmeg• ⅛ tsp ground ginger• 1 pinch kosher salt• Whipped cream (optional)
Directions
1Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Arrange the
crusts on a baking sheet.
2In a large bowl, whisk together remain-
ing ingredients until smooth. Divide fi lling evenly between 6 crusts (the crusts will be very full, and you may have some fi lling left over).
3Bake for 25 minutes or until a knife inserted
into the center of one of the pies comes out clean.
4Cool to room tempera-ture. Garnish each pie
with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle with cinnamon, if desired.
Control your portion size with personal-size pies. / PROVIDED
23GOING OUT
Gansevoort Market doesn’t make deciding what to eat for lunch easy. The Meat-packing District warehouse between Greenwich and Washington streets is the latest spot to experience the city’s hottest way to serve food right now: in a hall.
The grab-and-go con-cept is working for Heer-mance Farm, whose big-gest sellers are jar salads and bite-size cookies. Three daily soups also rotate; get there early be-cause the gumbo was gone by 1 p.m. when we visited on a blustery Thursday. The weather didn’t keep away a chatty mix of SoHo hipsters, tourists on their way to the High Line and freelancers sitting beneath the skylight that spans the rear eating area, sur-rounded by pillars wound with vines harvested in Long Island. The effect is enchanting, shifting the mood of the space from in-dustrial chic to a nymph’s Pinterest.
But you should opt to sit and dine when the res-taurants — which pack as much atmosphere into their compact stands as any other stand-alone joint — offer their own seating. Donostia’s seafood tapas is best served at its gorgeous-ly surfaced counter, while the purist spirit of David
Industrial eats Gansevoort Market. The city’s newest food hall is pretty – and tasty.
Bouhadana’s Sushi Dojo — no California rolls, just excellently simple sushi and sashimi — extends to its traditional bar.
At Cappone’s Salume-ria, the bread comes from Queens but pretty much everything else is Italian (including Tomarchio fla-vored sodas). “We don’t use mayonnaise, no mustard; I use extra-virgin olive oil and a cream of balsamic,” proprietor Ernie Cappone says, with the kind of fuhgetaboutit accent that doesn’t brook argument.
Sip a fresh-pressed juice and spend a few minutes chatting up veggie-focused Feelfood owner Fernando Aciar, and you won’t be able to help absorb his ear-nest attitude about eating well.
If you’re hurrying back to your desk, the oh-so-pillowy brioche-muffin hy-brids of The Bruffin are the perfect portable food, or grab some brisket smoked for seven hours from The Pig Guy. Feeling generous (or just very hungry)? The meats come in tray size, too, and can be delivered.
All of the dessert spots
are first-timers to the brick-and-mortar scene. Yiaourti’s dense Greek yogurt made with sheep’s and goat’s milk is strained onsite — try it with the imported sour cherry com-pote. Or get a taste of Fa-bien Desgroux’s Parisian childhood with a tradition-al crepe sucre, dusted with one of six infused sugars.
On your way out, grab a tin of tea pretty enough to display from Lov Organics, an offbeat bouquet from Flower Girl and a bottle of Williamsburg-made super-food TigerNut Horchata.

A slap in the face to legal immigrantsIt’s diffi cult to read all the talk about illegal im-migrants (I don’t use the word “undocumented”; it’s just a fancy word for illegal that the media prefers to use) “coming out of the shadows” from the diffi cult situations that they put themselves in. And some of them even have the gall to say that the immigration reform is not enough, and they demand more conces-sions! That’s like someone breaking into your home, and then demanding that you feed them, because they’re entitled to be there!

So Metro is now going to showcase story after story, letter after letter, of all those poor illegal immigrants who have been living for decades illegally in the U.S. and now don’t have to worry because even though they committed a crime, Emperor Obama is just going to change the laws they broke. How about some stories of those legal immigrants who did everything legally and paid thousands of dollars for the chance to be an American, only to see line jumpers rejoicing that they weren’t stupid enough to do things the right way?

BLAME SHOULD REMAIN ON IDZIK’S SHOULDERS
Rex Ryan can’t be fired, not even with this Jets team’s latest debacle in Monday night’s 38-3 loss to the Bills. Even at 2-9, even with the reality of a fourth straight season without the playoffs setting in, the Jets can’t fire their head coach.
It has less to do with Rex’s consecutive AFC Championship game ap-pearances in his first two seasons with the Jets, an accomplishment that has run its statute of limita-tions. But the decision to keep the man known sim-ply as ‘Rex’ has everything do with what his boss admitted a month ago.
Going by what Jets general manager John Idzik said in late October during his midyear press conference, it is next to impossible to force out his head coach. Though his press conference had been widely panned as a debacle, Idzik’s high praise for Rex might make it nearly impossible to can the man.
Idzik took it upon himself to shoulder the responsibility for the poor season, calling his own performance unsatisfac-tory. But in that very same press conference, Idzik praised his head coach

despite what was — and still is — a horrid record for this Jets team.
“The last time I checked, all the traits that make Rex Ryan our leader, our head coach, are still intact. He’s an excellent football mind. He’s a teacher. He’s a coach. He’s a motivator. He’s a mentor. He’s able to adapt,” Idzik said. “He sees both short- and long-term vision. He’s a competitor to his soul
and he will never quit. It comes as no surprise that our players want to play so hard for Rex Ryan and his staff [which is] no surprise to me. I support Rex. I continue to support Rex and our coaching staff.”
Idzik can’t fire Rex for the team he handed him. This is a Jets team that, in every locker room following defeat after stinging defeat, the players continue to defend Rex.
They talk about their love of the man, his passion for not just the game but for the players themselves.
It is clear that he still has the pulse of the locker room, a locker room that by Idzik’s own admission been pieced together over the past two seasons. It’s a locker room that Idzik has failed to stock with stars.
Rex can only do so much. Monday’s defeat to the Bills was a remind-
er of just how bad Idzik’s offseason was. Idzik was criticized this offseason for the “glacial” speed to his pursuit of free agents, a fact that stuck out when his team entered Week 1 more than $20 million under the cap. There was surprise by many inside the team’s building that the Jets didn’t land a big-name cornerback and over-relied on the ever-injured Dee Milliner to star in their secondary. And the less said about the “organizational decision” to start Geno Smith over the established Michael Vick, the better. Those decisions from manage-ment cost the Jets wins this year. It can’t cost Rex his job.
Where the general manager goes from here is anyone’s guess, but it has to be back to the drawing board. He al-ready has hailed his head coach and has taken the blame for what will be a fourth straight season without the playoffs.
NFL power rankings | by Matt BurkeNo. 1
Patriots (9-2)Here’s an idea of how hot the Pats are. Detroit lost to our No. 2 team in the rankings, the Cardi-nals, by eight points on the road in Week 11. In Week 12, Detroit was shredded by the Pats on the road by 25 points.
No. 2
Cardinals (9-2)Bruce Arians’ Kangol hat went from “fashion statement” to “lame.” The Joe Maddon of the NFL doesn’t look nearly as smart when his off ense only scores three points.
No. 3
Packers (8 -3)After putting up back-to-back 50-point outings, the Packers were only able to place 24 points on the Vikings in Minnesota. Maybe they were looking ahead to New England.
No. 4
Broncos (8-3)The Broncos found them-selves down 14-3 to a legit Miami team in the second quarter. But Denver’s O-line picked things up and allowed Peyton Manning to throw four TDs.
No. 5
Eagles (8-3)A blowout win at home over the Titans isn’t going to wow anyone, but give the Eagles some credit for taking care of business. They dismiss the dregs rather easily.
No. 6
Cowboys (8-3)Tell Grandma to take the bird out of the oven early. Eagles at Cowboys is what Thanksgiving is all about. Keep in mind, Dallas hasn’t beaten a quality opponent in a month.
No. 7
49ers (7-4)The Niners host Seattle in the “Couch Pass-out Clas-sic” Thursday night. Take a fi reball shot around 9 p.m. and see if either Seattle or San Fran can break double digits.
No. 8
Seahawks (7-4)The NFC West has the Seahawks, Cards, 49ers and frisky Rams. Any of those teams would be dominating the disgrace that is the NFC South right now.
No. 9
Lions (7-4)No team in the league is hanging with the Patriots right now, so we’ll give Detroit a pass for laying an egg in Foxboro. Detroit has a soft schedule the rest of the way.
