Stray kitten joins rat race aboard New York City subway, is later adopted by rescuer

A stray kitten that became an internet sensation after boarding a New York City subway train last week has been adopted by one of her fellow commuters. Emmie -- an ode to the MTA -- is now a Harlem resident after subway rider Betsaida Mercado, who initially whisk-ered the kitten to safety, decided to keep the two-month-old feline. Mercado said she was heading to work in downtown Manhattan when she noticed other passengers smiling and looking curiously around the subway car. Little Emmie had quietly boarded the train -- barely clearing the gap -- and was making the rounds, greeting other passengers. When she first heard the wayward meows, Mercado recalls thinking Emmie was "super, super small." Then, after no other riders claimed her as their own, Mercado stepped in, scooping the kitten up and heading back home with her. "I am proud of myself for doing that," Mercado said, noting that she's grateful for the serendipitous rush hour train ride that yielded her a new four-legged friend. She took Emmie to the vet the next day, where they confirmed that the kitten was not microchipped and was free to be adopted. "The minute we walked in, everyone knew her story," Mercado said, having posted the video of Emmie's unique commute to social media. "Everyone wanted to take a picture with her like, 'Oh my God -- it's the Insta-famous cat.'" To help pay for vet bills, Mercado started a fundraiser for Emmie, raising more than $3,000 after the video of the subway kitten went viral. She closed the fundraiser shortly after, saying that the funds were "too much for her to accept," and adding that she plans to donate leftover proceeds to a few animal shelters in Manhattan. One week later, Emmie is now living with her new sibling, a 13-year-old dog named King, and is adjusting to indoor life just fine, Mercado said. "Now [we are] being rewarded with a beautiful baby kitten," Mercado told ABC News. And despite the morning chaos, Mercado was able to rescue Emmie -- and make it to work that same day -- on time.

How one man turned a pizza hobby into a viral YouTube sensation

What started as a hobby for 50-year-old Arron Capron, owner and head chef of The Edge Pizza in Plymouth, Massachusetts, quickly turned into something much bigger. Once Capron took a chance on turning his passion into a business, new opportunities followed, including going viral on YouTube. When YouTuber Shane Uriot released "Inside the 1-Man Pizza Shop Making 150 Pizzas A Night," he didn't expect it to go viral. But in just two months, the video gained over 1.1 million views, putting Capron's The Edge Pizza on the map. How the business got started Capron taught his kids how to make pizza and regularly invited people over to taste his recipes. It wasn't until the pandemic that he finally decided to give the pizza business a try. "I always loved making food, especially pizza. This was an opportunity because many restaurants were closing. Now, I had a shot to try something," said Capron. Ready to become a pizza chef?: Shop 'The Bear' actor Matty Matheson's signature pizza oven 🍕 Capron already had some local support. His first pizza shop was in a shack in Sandwich in 2021. "It was a pigeon coop." But the pigeon coop was a hit. He moved to second place in the Plymouth area in 2022, but outgrew that one pretty fast. Capron knew he needed even more space to cook and attract more customers, so he moved to his current downtown Plymouth pizza shop in 2023. That's when he became locally Insta-famous, with currently 6,310 followers. He also has more than 4,700 followers on Facebook. Going viral on YouTube Capron would post videos and pictures on Instagram of his creations. He got views from people all over the area, including up-and-coming food content YouTuber Shane Uriot, who, according to his YouTube bio, explores "the journeys of amazing chefs, farmers, and anyone making an impact in the culinary world." Uriot has 22,800 subscribers. Uriot saw an older video of Capron and wanted to learn more about his operation. Uriot came to visit and made the viral video, "Inside the 1-Man Pizza Shop Making 150 Pizzas A Night." In the video, Capron got to share his love for pizza and how The Edge Pizza started. The video was made months before its release, so some things about the business have changed. Today, Capron is not always a one-man show. He has two other employees who help him out. But what changed the most since the video's release is Capron's inbox. "It's been weird. I get emails from all over the world. People from Austria, Australia, Korea and tons of people all over the United States. Now, I am kind of a consultant for people who want to do what I'm doing," said Capron. But it's the little things that are the most rewarding for Capron. "Anytime someone gets out their phone and takes a picture, it's a really big compliment," said Capron. Customers are even learning of his business through social media. Laura Marshall took a trip to check out Capron's pizza. "This is our second time coming here from Gloucester, all because my son saw it on TikTok," she said. "Just as good as the first." How did Capron learn to make pizza Like many great cooks, Capron learned from his family, most notably his grandmother Rosie, whose likeness is seen on the wall of the restaurant. Though rooted in Sicilian heritage, his culinary identity is equally shaped by his Detroit background. "My great-grandfather ended up in Detroit during the automation movement, then my family moved to Brooklyn," said Capron. In case you missed it: Five years since COVID, what have small businesses learned? He would make pizzas in college for friends and get five-star reviews, but again, it was just a hobby. Capron was going to school to become a physical and occupational therapist assistant, a career he still maintains today along with running his restaurant and working as head chef. What's the secret? While Capron can't share everything, he's willing to demonstrate the basics. The Enterprise got a chance to get in the kitchen and make some pizzas. This is what we learned. Spread the ingredients wisely "You're going to spread the cheese out, but you don't want too much on; leave a little bit of the dough peaking through the middle of the pizza. That way you can still taste the sauce," said Capron. It's all about timing "You have to know exactly when to take the pizza out or else you'll burn it," said Capron. Don't be afraid to get creative "Pineapple does belong on pizza," he added. On the menu There are more than 20 different types of pizza on the menu. Capron even has some fun pizzas that are not traditional to his Sicilian roots, including "Loaded Tater" which includes a cheese blend with a garlic cream base, tater tots, sour cream, green onions and crispy potato sticks. Fan favorite, though, is "Road to Rangoon" which includes Philly cream cheese, crab, topped with crispy fried wonton chips, scallions, sweet chili sauce and sesame seeds. The full menu is available online. What's next for Capron Well, Capron doesn't want to stop with just a pizza shop. He wants to become the "Pizza Master" and teach the next generation of pizza makers. "I can teach anybody to make pizzas. I can teach you in a day and it might just be as good as mine," said Capron. Capron could also see himself opening a few more restaurants. While he is not opposed to starting a chain, he would need to partner with someone who understands family values. Capron said he has been sought out to open a restaurant in Boston, specifically the Seaport area. Capron would like to keep the business in the family, but he said his kids don't have the same aspirations yet... so the plan after he retires would be to sell with one exception - the business remains a pizza shop. The Edge Pizza address, hours The Edge Pizza, located at 65 Main St., Plymouth, Massachusetts, is open Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday from 11:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., Friday from 12:30 to 9 p.m. and Saturday from 11:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. The shop is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Kyoto's Kichi Kichi Omurice to run two-day event at Jurong Point's Tsukimi Hamburg

The charismatic chef Motokichi Yukimura of the famed Kichi Kichi Omurice will be in Singapore on July 10 and 11 for a cooking showcase. PHOTO: RE&S ENTERPRISES SINGAPORE – If you have not been able to score a coveted seat at the famed Kichi Kichi Omurice restaurant in Kyoto, Japan, you can now try your luck in Singapore. Helmed by Japanese chef Motokichi Yukimura, the 14-seat restaurant is renowned for theatrically serving the Insta-famous omurice (Japanese omelette rice), where a perfectly cooked omelette is sliced open to drape over a bed of fried rice. Chef Yukimura, 69, has 314,000 followers on his @kichikichi_omurice Instagram account. It carries a line that says: 'Upon request, we will go to your country to make omurice.' He has done so in cities such as Jakarta and Sydney. Up next is Singapore, in a collaboration with home-grown food and beverage group RE&S Enterprises, which focuses on Japanese cuisine concepts. On July 11 and 12, the chef will host a cooking showcase – two sessions a day for lunch and dinner – at Tsukimi Hamburg restaurant at Jurong Point. Each session is limited to 20 people, who will have to win tickets by joining a lucky draw. To do so, you need to sign up as a &Rewards Member and spend a minimum of $20 in a single receipt at &JOY Japanese Food Street (at Nex or Jurong Point), from June 3 to 30. Each winner, to be announced every Thursday, can get a pair of tickets. This collaboration has been in discussion for some time, says RE&S Enterprises' vice president of marketing Winnie Loo, whose team visited chef Yukimura at his Kyoto restaurant in February. Kichi Kichi hamburg omurice, a collaborative dish to be launched from July 10 at Tsukimi Hamburg outlets. PHOTO: RE&S ENTERPRISES She says: 'Chef Yukimura has always embraced meaningful overseas collaborations that allow his culinary philosophy to reach new audiences. One of our Japanese counterparts bridged this connection with him, making this collaboration possible.' She also confirmed that there are no plans for chef Yukimura to open a permanent Kichi Kichi Omurice outlet in Singapore. For those who are unable to get tickets, you can go for two collaborative Tsukimi Hamburg x Kichi Kichi Omurice dishes instead. First, the Kichi Kichi Hamburg Omurice ($16.80) features demiglace fried rice with edamame and chicken blanketed with a fluffy spiral 'tornado' omelette and finished with a hamburg patty. The other option, Kichi Kichi Omurice ($12.80), comes without the hamburg. The demiglace omurice, says Ms Loo, stays true to the original rich, slow-cooked demiglace sauce by chef Yukimura. But instead of the classic sliced omelette presentation, diners here will get a spiral 'tornado' omelette on the rice to ensure consistency across the dishes. The dishes will launch on July 10 as permanent additions to Tsukimi Hamburg's menu at all its outlets. First established at Jurong Point in 2022, Tsukimi Hamburg's other branches are at CapitaSpring and Hougang Mall. Ms Loo adds: 'During our visit to his restaurant, the conversation flowed naturally, and the idea of pairing his world-famous omurice with Tsukimi Hamburg's signature juicy hamburg steaks felt like a perfect match.'

Travel influencers reveal most overrated Insta-famous holiday destinations & the dupes that could save you thousands

Bucket list destinations are often overcrowded, overpriced and overrated. Here, 10 travel experts pick their top prettier, cheaper swaps SUN, SEA & SWAPS Travel influencers reveal most overrated Insta-famous holiday destinations & the dupes that could save you thousands Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) MILLIONS of Brits are inspired by social media when it comes to booking their next holiday - then left dismayed when they get there, and it doesn't look like what they saw on screen. To avoid disappointment, we've spoken to ten top travel influencers to find their least-favourite destinations and the underrated locations to head to instead. 27 Helen Wright from the blog, found a hidden spot in Florida Credit: Instagram 27 Chloe, aka The Holiday Mum, gets the beach to herself Credit: Instagram Travel writer, Helen Wright, from passportstampsuk says short and snappy video content online can show someone everything a destination has to offer in less than a minute. She told Sun Travel: "In less time than it takes to make a cup of tea, you might discover somewhere you have never heard of and get a look at the sights, food and feel of the place before the kettle has even boiled. "I was planning a short break to a Spanish city I'd visited before when I saw influencers Twin Perspectives post about Gdansk in Poland. "It looked relaxed, easy to navigate and with lots to see and do, so I ended up going there instead. "Not only did I get to experience somewhere I've never been before, it was half the price - flights to Gdansk on Ryanair start from £11 each way, so it's a real bargain." Influencers who travel the world full-time often stumble across less popular places, seeing how they compare to common holiday spots for Brits. The Sun asked a range of travel experts for their most overrated destination and the French capital Paris was the most unpopular destination, with many frequent travellers saying the same thing. "It doesn't live up to the hype," says travel blogger Cora Harrison. "It's expensive, dirty, often overcrowded and not easily walkable." So what overrated destinations do some of the top UK travel influencers think you should avoid this year? And where should you swap them for instead? Ryanair launches new flights to cheap holiday hotspot Miami for Panama City Beach, Florida 27 Panama City Beach is a beautiful spot on Florida's Gulf Coast, and much cheaper than Miami Credit: Instagram 27 The world-famous Ocean Drive in South Beach – a hotspot for tourists Credit: Alamy Helen told Sun Travel: "Miami is iconic, which is why it's a bucket list destination for a lot of people, but it's also very expensive and can be difficult to navigate. "Often, people, especially families, discover that there isn't actually that much to do in Miami Beach itself and after a few days, find it disappointing. "The beach is beautiful, but it doesn't have the laid-back Florida beach life that some coastal towns have. "Instead, go to Panama City Beach on the Gulf Coast. It's just as lively as Miami, but the beach bars here are laid back and family-friendly. "There are lots of sleek apartments along the seafront, perfect for families, that start from £90 a night. Compared to the hotels in South Beach, which are usually between £150-£250 per night, it's a real bargain. "The beach itself is stunning. It's one of the nicest I have seen in the USA, outside of Hawaii. "The water is pure blue and it's not uncommon to spot dolphins, manatees and turtles swimming off the shore. "It doesn't have the architecture and culture that Miami offers, but if you want lively nightlife and a white sand beach, Panama City Beach is perfect." Paris for Lyon 27 Travel bloggers said Paris was crowded and overpriced Credit: Alamy 27 They much preferred Lyon with a more relaxed and authentic vibe Credit: Alamy Cora Harrison, from told Sun Travel: "Paris might be known as the City of Love, but reality says otherwise. "It's crowded, overpriced, and honestly, a bit dirty, meaning any charm the city might have is quickly lost. "Instead, I suggest heading to Lyon, France's culinary capital. "It offers riverside strolls, cobbled old towns, and a more relaxed, authentic vibe. "During the same week in September, when 3-star hotels in Paris were £400, you could book an equivilent stay in the centre of Lyon for £250. "Plus, Lyon is well connected, with affordable direct flights from airports across the UK, making it an easy, budget-friendly swap." Mykonos for Kimolos, Greece 27 Mykonos has become a popular tourist destination - and crowded with holidaymakers Credit: Alamy 27 Jackie likes to visit less populated areas of Greece like Kimolos Credit: Instagram Jackie Rezk from said: "Did you know Greece doesn't have to break the bank? On average, the daily cost to visit touristy places like Mykonos can be over £180 a night. "Mykonos is expensive and so crowded that you lose all the beauty and charm it became famous for. "Instead, why not try Kimolos, which you can get to on the ferry from Athens? "You will find hardly any tourists there and it's absolutely stunning. "This hidden gem is also more affordable to visit, with an average daily spend of £80. "This small volcanic island has the same gorgeous white-washed buildings as Mykonos but with few crowds. "You will find stunning views of the sea, great food, and a quiet, relaxed atmosphere. "It has easily become my favorite island in Greece." Santorini for Dorset 27 Emily says you don't have to leave the UK to get a Santorini-like experience - just head to Dorset Credit: Instagram 27 Santorini has famously become overcrowded with tourists and Instagrammers driving prices up Credit: Alamy Emily Luxton from told Sun Travel: "Santorini always looks perfect on Instagram, but for me, the reality on the ground is less inviting. "You dream of cute cobbled streets, whitewashed houses, and sapphire seas. "Instead, you get elbow-to-elbow crowds and overpriced everything! "I do like Santorini and the volcanic rock beaches are impressive, but are usually too heaving to enjoy. "There are far nicer islands in Greece, in my opinion. "In fact, you don't even have to leave the UK to find pretty seaside villages, dramatic coves, and quality seafood. "Dorset has all of that and more, with no additional airport stress. "You can get a two-night stay on the Juarassic Coast, close to key areas like Durdle Door for under £200. In Santorini, you can expect to pay £300 or more. "If you don't mind a bit of a ramble, you can often find a remote beach all to yourself too." Ksmail for Dhermi, Albania 27 Influencer Abena loves to explore the quieter areas of Albania, like Dhermi Credit: Instagram 27 Ksamil in Albanian has been dubbed the 'Madives of Europe' - but travel bloggers say its overpriced and beaches are packed Credit: Alamy Abena Kusi from TravellingTuesdays told Sun Travel: "Ksamil in Albania is very overrated. "People often say this is a hidden gem that not many people know about, but in summer it's rammed. "The beaches are packed and sun loungers and parasols are wildly overpriced. "I've even heard people calling it the Maldives of Europe, but in reality it is a small village, overrun with construction and loud music. "Instead, choose to go further up the Albanian coast to places such as Dhermi or Himare, which are more authentic and less congested. "To be honest, even a simple trip to Corfu would be better and more beautiful than going to Ksami, in my opinion." Nice for Cassis, France 27 Nikita says Nice but it didn't leave a lasting impression Credit: Alamy 27 Instagrammer Nikita pictured in the less crowded town of Cassis, France Credit: Instagram Instagrammer Nikita Bathia told Sun Travel: Nice is… nice, but it didn't leave much of an impression. "The buildings are pastel, the coastline is pretty, and it looks good in photographs - but beyond that, it felt a bit flat. "The beaches aren't particularly comfortable, the old town is packed, and the energy leans more generic than charming. "It's easy to see why people go, but harder to feel connected to it. "I found myself wishing for somewhere slower, more authentic and less polished. "If, like me, you're after something with more character and less crowds, Èze or Cassis feel far more personal. "They are both beautiful with a stunning coastline and quietly a lot more memorable." Nassau, Bahamas for private island 27 Marcus says many people don't realise Disney has a private island in the Caribbbean Credit: Instagram 27 A seafood restaurant on the shore at Bimini in the Bahamas - a hidden gem with less tourists Credit: Alamy Marcus Adam from said: "Going to the Bahamas invokes a vision of azure waters, white sandy beaches, and a blissful island vibe. "But some ports end up a very different experience to what you might expect. "For me, Nassau, one of the Bahamas' main cruise ports, is over busy and overpriced. "Frequent cruisers I meet will often opt to stay on board to enjoy ship amenities instead. "You can go shopping and enjoy the local bars in the brand new port area, but if you prefer a more exclusive experience in the Bahamas, time is better spent at one of the cruise lines' private islands. "However, they are exclusive to the cruise line you sail with, so choose wisely and check the itinerary you book includes a stop there. "My favourites are Bimini with Virgin Voyages, Perfect Day CocoCay with Royal Caribbean, or Castaway Cay with Disney Cruise Line. "As the only ship in port, it feels like your own private island." Cornwall for Llyn Peninsula 27 Monica Stott is a big fan of the Llyn Peninsula Credit: Instagram 27 Abersoch, Llyn Peninsula, Gwynedd, Wales is beautifully undiscovered Credit: Alamy 27 Cornwall has become a hotspot for staycations in the UK Credit: Alamy Monica Stott from told Sun Travel: "I love Cornwall but unfortunately, so does everyone else looking for a staycation in the UK! "The crowds, the traffic, the lack of parking and the need to book restaurants so far in advance is a real hassle. Plus, the cost of decent accommodation that isn't a caravan is outrageous. "If you can even find somewhere near the beach in summer, expect to pay over £1,000 for the week. "I've started swapping Cornwall for Wales' Llyn Peninsula. You can book accomodation steps from the beach for less than £100 a night. Try Victoria Hotel, a lovely pub with rooms on the coast. "People often say the Llyn Peninsula is how Cornwall was 50 years ago. It's all golden beaches, pretty villages, white-washed cottages, weather-beaten pubs, dramatic cliffs and views for days. "The Llyn Peninsula is also blessed with a beautiful micro-climate and often tops the charts for the hottest days during the UK summer." Mirajima for Kyoto 27 Mirajima is a great place to experience Japan's serene landscape Credit: Instagram 27 Kyoto is a beautiful city to visit but tourists flock there throughout year Credit: Alamy Calum McSwiggan told Sun Travel: "While Kyoto is undoubtedly beautiful, over-tourism has made this popular hot spot almost impossible to enjoy, with huge crowds swarming over the whole city and cultural areas. "To really experience the peaceful serenity that Japan is famous for, I recommend travelling just that little bit further. "From the island of Mirajima, the mountains of Kusatsu, or the hot spring town of Shibu Onsen, the country has so much more to offer. "Get out there and explore, enjoy the scenery from the windows of the country's exceptional public rail network, and remember to put your phone away and enjoy the quiet moments in between." Dubai for Oman 27 Dubai is a popular destination for Brits, but Chloe Gunning finds it lacks character Credit: Instagram 27 Oman is naturally beautiful and more interesting than Dubai Credit: Instagram Chloe Gunning from told Sun Travel: "Dubai is famed for its luxury lifestyle and five-star hotels, but I find it artificial and lacking in character. "Warm temperatures are guaranteed throughout the year, but you'll spend most of your time sitting in traffic, or hopping from air-conditioned hotel to shopping mall, to overpriced restaurant. "For a more cultural and adventurous holiday, I'd recommend swapping the UAE for Oman. "This neighbouring country is home to rugged mountains, emerald-hued pools, vast deserts and incredible history. "Spend your days hiking through dramatic gorges, swimming in waterfalls and sleeping under the stars in desert yurts. "Oman has more soul, and you'll feel all the better once you experience it!" The Algarve for Comporta, Portugal 27 The Algarve, Portugal, is a holiday hotspot for Brits thanks to its guaranteed sunshine Credit: Alamy 27 Chloe says Comporta is just as pretty and a lot cheaper to visit Credit: Alamy Chloe from @theholidaymum told Sun Travel: "The Algarve has many strong points, not least the guaranteed sunshine and sandy beaches, but it's very commercial with a lot of concrete and high rise buildings spoiling the idyllic beach views. "I recommend making a swap to its chic older sister, Comporta. "The beaches in Comporta are paradise found: more expansive, quieter and cleaner than the Algarve and lined with effortlessly cool beach clubs. "The resort style hotels, such as Sublime Comporta and Quinta da Comporta, are design-led and stylish and there's a smattering of homestays in the area with the same design credentials. "The sunny peninsula is just under a two-hour drive from Lisbon but it's more affordable to you can stay longer to compensate for the drive." Cancun for Belize 27 Cancun has stunning beaches Credit: Alamy 27 But Belize also has many undiscovered beaches with less crowds Credit: Instagram Macca Sherifi from told Sun Travel: "Cancun is full of American college kids looking to party and it has zero Mexican culture. "Throw in all the high-rise all-inclusive hotels and over-developed beaches, and you've got yourself one of the most overrated tourist hotspots in the world. "My advice - head over the border to Caye Caulker in Belize. This place is a tropical paradise with a really fun Caribbean vibe and some of the bluest waters you'll ever see. "In fact, it is home to the Blue Hole, the giant sinkhole that is on every divers and snorkeller's bucket list. "Instead of paying £1,800 for the week in Cancun, get an apartment with beach views for only under the half the price. It may not be all-inclusive, but the local food is better and very affordable. It really is an amazing destination to visit and so undiscovered compared to somewhere like Cancun."
