A Bagel Shop Bows Out of Manhattan After Over a Decade
Skip to main content Current eater city: New York
After 11 years, Baz Bagel, located at 181 Grand Street, at Mulberry Street, in Little Italy, is bowing out. An announcement went up on Instagram this week: The last day is June 22. Owner Bari Musacchio confirmed the news to Eater, adding that she had previously lived above the restaurant, but after 20 years in the neighborhood, she had moved on and it felt like a 'natural time' to do the same with her business. She has passed the keys to an uptown bagel operator, to be announced soon. 'We knew bagels would continue to thrive on Grand Street, so finding the right operator was key — especially one that could keep our amazing staff on board,' she says. 'We're incredibly proud that our small neighborhood shop made its way into some of NYC's biggest moments — whether it was serving the Knicks, Liberty, Rangers, being part of WWHL, Fleet Week, or collaborating on so many iconic events over the years.'
Williamsburg's Titi's Empanadas opens today, Friday, June 13, in the East Village at 130 E. Seventh Street, near Avenue A, EVGrieve reports.

Another clue drops as frantic hunt for Powerball $100 million winner intensifies
More than a day after the life-changing numbers were drawn, Australia's newest multimillionaire is still a mystery — and officials are desperately urging Powerball players in Sydney's east to check their tickets immediately. One ticket, purchased at Bondi Junction Newsagency & Internet Café on Oxford Street, holds the sole division one winning entry from Thursday night's $100 million Powerball draw 1517. But with no registered player details linked to the ticket, The Lott still has no way of contacting the winner — and can only wait, and hope, that someone soon realises they've become one of the country's richest individuals. "With a winning entry tucked away in their car, wallet, or stuck on their fridge door, one New South Wales player is walking around completely oblivious to the fact their life has forever changed," The Lott spokesperson Eliza Wregg said. "There are 100 million reasons why Sydney's eastern suburbs players should check their tickets today.' The winning numbers drawn Thursday, June 12, were 28, 10, 3, 16, 31, 14 and 21. The Powerball number was 6. For Bondi Junction Newsagency & Internet Café, the news is already legendary. "Wow. It's legendary to hear we've sold the winning ticket in Thursday night's Powerball draw worth $100 million," said store owner Manish. "This is by far the biggest winning entry we've ever sold. The team are thrilled to hear the winning news. I'll be rewarding the particular staff member who sold the winning ticket, too. I'm hoping it's one of our regular customers, but you never know — it could be a tourist too. We're located right next to the closest station to Bondi Beach, so you never know." The Lott confirmed that this is the only Division One winner nationally in draw 1517, meaning just one lucky ticket holder is entitled to the entire nine-figure prize. $100 million Powerball winner reveals how her life has changed How $100 million Powerball winner can best spend their jackpot Powerball $100m draw: What really happens when you score "Imagine discovering you're suddenly a multi-millionaire! You could immediately retire, take the trip of your dreams, or spoil those nearest and dearest to you," Wregg added. "All you need to do is visit scan your ticket on The Lott app or visit one of our friendly retailers to find out if you are our division one winner." If the winner comes forward, they'll join the ranks of Powerball royalty. Last year alone, 21 Australians shared in over $773 million worth of division one prizes — including a record $150 million win by a single Adelaide man. Until then, the nation waits — and watches — to see who will step forward to claim one of the biggest lottery prizes ever handed out in Australia. Do you have a story tip?

‘Please do not go to the airport': Sliver Airways leaves travelers stranded after airline abruptly shuts down
There's missing a flight, and then there's missing every flight because your airline just went bankrupt. That's what happened to hundreds of travelers this week when Silver Airways, a Florida-based regional carrier, abruptly announced it was ceasing operations effective immediately. Thanks to Jeff Bezos, you can now become a landlord for as little as $100 — and no, you don't have to deal with tenants or fix freezers. Here's how I'm 49 years old and have nothing saved for retirement — what should I do? Don't panic. Here are 6 of the easiest ways you can catch up (and fast) Nervous about the stock market in 2025? Find out how you can access this $1B private real estate fund (with as little as $10) Passengers flying between Florida, the Bahamas and the Caribbean were left at airports with no warning, no alternative flight plans and no customer service reps in sight. 'We regret to inform you that we are ceasing operations as of today, June 11, 2025,' the airline posted on Instagram. "Please do not go to the airport." The bankruptcy came with zero notice and even fewer answers, raising questions for customers who already paid for tickets. Here's what led to the airline's sudden nosedive — and what to do if your summer vacation just hit major turbulence. Silver Airways has officially flown its last mile. Roughly five months after filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, the Florida-based airline grounded all flights — and not because of stormy weather. In a recent statement, the company revealed it had sold its assets to another airline holding company as part of a restructuring effort. But instead of reviving the brand, the new owner decided to ground all operations. 'In an attempt to restructure in bankruptcy, Silver entered into a transaction to sell its assets to another airline holding company, who unfortunately has determined to not continue Silver's flight operations,' the airline wrote in a statement. Silver had hoped the bankruptcy would help secure new capital and offer a path toward financial recovery. Instead, the collapse has left travelers stranded and staff without jobs — a costly detour for everyone involved. Read more: Want an extra $1,300,000 when you retire? Dave Ramsey says — and that 'anyone' can do it If you're one of the many people left grounded by Silver's sudden shutdown, don't expect a refund from the airline itself. In its final Instagram post, the company made it clear that customers won't be reimbursed directly. But all hope isn't lost. According to the U.S. Department of Transportation, you might be able to recover your money depending on how you paid. If you bought your ticket with a credit card, you can file a dispute with your card issuer under the Fair Credit Billing Act. Be sure to include a copy of your ticket and receipt, and clearly explain that the airline has ceased operations and failed to deliver the service you paid for. Just don't wait too long. You typically have 60 days from the date your statement was issued — the one that includes the airfare charge — to file the dispute. If you booked through a travel agent or third-party site, it's worth reaching out to see if they can help secure a refund or offer any alternatives. Some agencies have extra protections or recourse built into their services.

Lowe's launches first home improvement creator network
Not everyone is handy enough to tackle DIY home improvement projects, but that apparently doesn't stop people from trying. Frontdoor (FTDR), a home warranty and repair solutions platform, surveyed over 1,000 Americans and found 98% have taken on a DIY project at some point in their lives. Around 77% actually find the work fun, while 83% of DIYers feel empowered by taking matters into their own hands. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter More than half (52%) get their inspiration from social media, whether it's how to save money or learn the skills and techniques to pull off the project. In fact, for those who get stuck mid-project, 73% look to YouTube for help, 60% search Google, and 18% scroll social media - likely anything from videos on Instagram and TikTok to one of the many DIY threads on Reddit. While the Frontdoor survey indicates that 42% wind up with some DIY regrets, 74% plan to do another project this year. And Lowe's (LOW) is pulling out all the stops to ensure it will be the place where DIYers come to shop. Image source:Lowe's recently announced the launch of The Lowe's Creator Network, the first creator network dedicated to home improvement. It will enable DIYers to showcase their skills and projects - created with Lowe's products, of course - to captive audiences on YouTube and other social media platforms. The company is starting off with a bang. YouTube creator, entrepreneur, and philanthropist Jimmy Donaldson, aka MrBeast, who scores 2 billion views a month on his YouTube channel, was one of the first creators to join the network. Related: Lowe's makes one of its largest ever billion-dollar acquisitions In addition to MrBeast's curated Lowe's storefront, the company will be an exclusive "Beast Games" partner for the building of the new BeastCity, a "city" where contestants will live as they compete in the second season of the popular series. However, creators don't need to have the same level of fame as MrBeast to sign up. "Driving preference and engagement with the Lowe's brand by tapping into creators with varying levels of followers is a key priority for Lowe's as we look to gain relevance with younger generations while increasing digital engagement," Lowe's Chief Marketing Officer Jen Wilson said in a company statement. Still, MrBeast and other noted influencers like DadSocial and Chris Loves Julia will be spotlighting Lowe's to millions of followers. And while some homeowners will still get their inspiration from shows on HGTV and the like, it's clear that Lowe's is looking to build a bigger connection with Millennial and Gen Z audiences - and turn them into paying customers. Per the Frontdoor survey, the average age for people starting off on their DIY journeys is 28. And it's not always about improving the interior of their homes. In fact, the report says that the top five most popular DIY projects in America are chicken coops, raised bed gardens, storm shelters, saunas, and outdoor lighting. Nearly half (47%) of DIYers start their projects because they couldn't afford to hire pros. But those who successfully complete their projects and are ready to tackle more might consider earning some money with the Lowe's Creator Network. Related: Lowe's making drastic store change to beat Home Depot The Lowe's Creator website put out the call to home improvement and decorating content creators on its website, saying: "When you become a partner, you'll get the mentoring you want and the chance [to] expand your content, featuring products from and helping you make money with your creative ideas." Creators can earn up to 20% commission on purchases through their Lowe's affiliate links on their storefront, and there are additional performance-based perks and incentives.

They're building businesses by taking on real projects and connecting with their communities through meaningful storytelling," said Lowe's Head of Social and Influencer Marketing Jonathan Stanley. "With Lowe's Creator Network, we're committed to helping our creators grow and are empowering them to bring their dream projects to life. From training resources to product samples and self-serve storefronts, we're giving creators the resources to produce content they know their audiences will want to see," Stanley says. The Lowe's Creator Network enrolled more than 17,000 creators during its beta launch. The goal is to build visibility on social for Lowe's and its vendor partners, with plans to expand opportunities through Lowe's Retail Media Network.
