Pizza is everything. What should we have for lunch? Pizza. What should we have for dinner? How about pizza? What should we have for breakfast the next day? Definitely leftover pizza.

One of the most popular foods in the world, pizza has become unique and variants have evolved based on culture and preference. There are so many variations, Italy even proposed that it be proclaimed a protected landmark.

On the PBS Idea Channel, Mike Rugnetta delves into the world of pizza, outlining its humble beginnings (in ancient times, people used “bread as a plate”—pizza began as a simple meal that quickly took on a life of its own) and its ever changing, occasionally polarizing ways of being served.

Our historical pizza journey begins with the iconic New York City Slice. In New York City alone, there are an estimated 2,000 pizza shops, the first of which that we know of having made its NYC debut in 1905 at a restaurant called Lombardi’s. This thin slice is designed for quick service—a plus for the diner on the go.

The New York City slice was developed off the template of Neapolitan pizza; the simple combination of bread, cheese, and tomatoes was considered low-class food at the time, even though these days we classify it as fancy pizza. I’d say we can probably blame that on the “less is more” design standard.

As we move through the history of pizza we learn about the focaccia-based square Sicilian slice, which evolves into the Grandma slice, which evolves into deep-dish. In other words, pizza is the Pokemon of the food world. (The video doesn’t say that, I’m just calling it so.)

Chicago style deep-dish pizza arrived on the scene in the 1940s. This evolution of the Sicilian pizza was uniquely localized, and its preference has divided pizza fans throughout the ages.

Pizza’s origins may be in Italy, but the dish has become an all-American pastime, as proved by the proliferation of frozen delivery and pizza delivery. In 1961, Dominick’s Pizza, later renamed Domino’s, invented the idea that “pizza comes to you.” This seemingly obvious idea revolutionized the industry and how we consume the savory pie today.

If we’re learning about the history of pizza, we inevitably end up with leftover pizza, a dish that magically transforms itself overnight into a different meal entirely. As Rugnetta so eloquently puts it, leftover pizza is “an artifact that remains commemorating D&D games, or Netflix marathons, all-nighters, hack-a-thons and various get-togethers.” Mmm, leftover pizza. So many memories, all of them delicious.

The eighth and final slice in this rundown is the international slice. Pizza has become such a global phenomenon that the pie takes on flavors and distinctions characteristically local to its origin. In other countries you’re likely to find toppings as varied as curry, tuna, and even Vegemite.

However you choose to consume pizza, it’s undeniably one of the most popular comfort foods on the planet. So grab a slice and watch A History of Pizza in 8 Slices on the PBS Idea Channel on YouTube.

The earliest documented reference to New York being referred to as “The Big Apple” comes from a 1909 book by Edward Martin, called The Wayfarer. In it, he uses the moniker in a metaphorical sense, rather than a proper name for the city:

“Kansas is apt to see in New York a greedy city… It inclines to think that the big apple gets a disproportionate share of the national sap…”

The next known documented instance of New York being called “The Big Apple” comes from sportswriter John J. Fitz Gerald who began popularizing the name starting on May 3, 1921, where he stated in a column:

“J. P. Smith, with Tippity Witchet and others of the L. T. Bauer string, is scheduled to start for ‘the big apple’ to-morrow after a most prosperous Spring campaign at Bowie and Havre de Grace.”

In this case, he was referencing the early 1920s practice of calling certain race courses in the New York City region this particular fruity name; the New York City races tended to payout significant prizes to the winner compared to races in many other regions, hence “big apple.”

According to linguist Dr. Gerald Cohen, this wasn’t out of the ordinary, even outside of horse racing. As he states,

“Apples were important throughout history, but the big red delicious apples developed in Iowa in the 1870s came to be regarded as extra special. That led to ‘the big apple’ being applied to things and people who were extra special, or perhaps only thought they were…”

As to applying this to New York City, it’s thought that Fitz Gerald didn’t come up with this on his own but rather heard it from people from New Orleans in 1920 when he traveled down to that city to supposedly sell one of his horses, with the common tale being that it came from a couple of stable hands.

Fitz Gerald explicitly mentions this three years later in his 1924 column “Around the Big Apple,” though it’s possible he just made the story up:

“The Big Apple. The dream of every lad that ever threw a leg over a thoroughbred and the goal of all horsemen. There’s only one Big Apple. That’s New York. Two dusky stable hands were leading a pair of thoroughbred around the ‘cooling rings’ of adjoining stables at the Fair Grounds in New Orleans and engaging in desultory conversation. ‘Where y’all goin’ from here?’ queried one. ‘From here we’re headin’ for The Big Apple,’ proudly replied the other. ‘Well, you’d better fatten up them skinners or all you’ll get from the apple will be the core,’ was the quick rejoinder.”

This nickname for New York City gradually caught on and began being used in a non-sporting sense, including a popular song/dance coming out in the 1930s called “The Big Apple,” as well as numerous references in other songs, particularly in jazz music.

However, this nickname for the city died off by the 1960s and few outside of the city would have understood the reference had you used it then. That all changed in the 1970s when Charles Gillett and the New York Convention and Visitors Bureau decided to revive the nickname in a tourism campaign. In this campaign, they began aggressively advertising New York City as a tourist hotspot and referred to it as “The Big Apple,” using bright, clean looking red apples in their advertisements to attempt to contrast the popular notion of the day that New York City was a dirty place where you were as likely to be mugged as not if you visited there.

The New York Public Library celebrated the return of a copy of Igor Stravinsky’s 1936 autobiography 72 years after it was last checked out.

Billy Parrott, director of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Library, said he received a call a few days before Christmas from the library’s 5th Avenue branch.

The situation turned out to be the return of a book that had been checked out April 4, 1952, and had been due back two weeks later.

“We routinely get stuff [returned], all the time, from the ’80s or the ’90s but rarely stuff from mid-century,” Parrott told Gothamist.

Parrot said the book, Igor Stravinsky’s autobiography, was returned by a man who explained his mother had checked it out from the library’s Woodstock branch in the Bronx while she was studying music at Hunter College.

The woman never got around to returning the book, and even went on to work at a New York Public Library location in the Bronx for a time.

Parrot said the book will not be returned to circulation, but will instead be kept “for the curiosity and engaging story.”

The library shared photos of the long-lost book on Instagram.

“Do you happen to have a library copy of Igor Stravinsky’s 1936 autobiography that’s 72 years overdue?” the post said. “Is the fear of late fees preventing you from returning it? Forget about it! The New York Public Library has been fine free since since 2021.”

Hugh Jackman stepped out in public for a walk in New York City a day after he and wife Deborra-lee Jackman announced they are amicably separating.

The photos come one day after the couple shared the news that they are separating after 27 years of marriage. “We have been blessed to share almost 3 decades together as husband and wife in a wonderful, loving marriage,” they said in an exclusive statement to PEOPLE. “Our journey now is shifting and we have decided to separate to pursue our individual growth.”

The actor previously opened up to PEOPLE about his marriage, saying:

“One of the great pieces of fortune in my career, it started late, but that Deb and I were already set together, a team, madly in love, like literally before it all happened,” he said. “We can kind of see all the ups and downs for what they are. Our priority is our family, and we’re there for each other no matter what.”

He added, “Underneath the surface where it’s real, and where it’s still and where it’s deep, that is the love I have with Deb.”

As the most ethnically diverse centres in the US, New York City is the melting pot of many different cultures. There is always a little something for everyone. The Hungarian community and all facilities and sights related to this small Central European country are scattered all across the Big Apple, though many of them can be found in Manhattan.

The Hungarian House

Tucked on the 82^nd Street in Yorkville in the former Hungarian quarter, stands the Hungarian House which has served as the cultural centre for the local Hungarian community for decades. Established in 1966, the centre is operated by three non-profit organizations: the American Hungarian Library and Historical Society, the Széchenyi István Society and the Hungarian Scout Association in Exteris. They hold around 350 community programmes each year, though most of them are online events. Occasionally, they also host Hungarian folk dance days and educational programmes for visitors who would like to immerse themselves in the rich Hungarian culture.

Hungarian Pastry Shop

If you yearn for a good old Dobos cake (sponge cake layered with chocolate buttercream and topped with hard caramel) or meggyes rétes (sour cherry strudel) head to Amsterdam Avenue 111^th Street, opposite St. John the Divine where you will find the cosy and authentic Hungarian Pastry Shop. According to New York Times, the confectionery that is currently owned by Greek-descent Philip Binioris and his father Peter Binioris has fed generations of authors and students. They offer free coffee refills, a European multi-cultural atmosphere and a large variety of traditional Hungarian pastries such as Sacher cakes, ischlers and French cream puffs.

KEYBAR

Located on 13^th Street 432 in East Village, KEYBAR has been run by two Hungarians, Attila and Gyula who have years of hospitality experience under their belt, since October 2002. It is a beloved meeting point for locals and the Hungarian community. According to their Facebook page, KEYBAR triples as a bar, DJ lounge and jewellery-box sized nightclub for a carefree international clientele who pop in for the cocktails, signature shots (including Zwack, a Hungarian herbal liqueur) during happy hour and stay for the amazing music and downtown New York-meets-Budapest vibe.

Budapest Café

If you miss authentic Budapest flavours pop by this tiny quaint café located on the west side of 2^nd Avenue between 84^th and 85^th Streets. Formerly known as Andre’s Café, Budapest Café offers Hungarian comfort food at its best from savoury körözött and spicy chicken paprikash to the quintessential goulash soup. When you enter the place, there is a bakery section in front with lots of delicious cakes and pastries such as Rigó Jancsi (a traditional cube-shaped chocolate sponge cake and chocolate cream pastry), crêpes and Dobos cake. 

Kossuth Statue

Each year on 15^th March, the local community celebrates the Hungarian Independence Day on 113^th Street on Riverside Drive at the monument to Hungarian patriot Lajos Kossuth. The bronze tableau portrays a vignette of the struggle for Hungarian independence in 1848. Atop a pedestal of Milford pink granite, a larger-than-life figure of Kossuth motions to two other male figures at the base: a revolutionary soldier and an aged peasant, representing Hungary’s new republic and the old regime, writes nycgovpark.org. The Hungarian revolutionist arrived in New York on 5^th December 1851 on the steamship Humboldt, it was the first stop of his seven-month journey in the United States.

Hungarian fireplug

A couple of metres from the entrance of the Hungarian Reformed Church at 229 on the 82^nd Street stands a tricolour Hungarian fireplug. There is no information available on its origin, however, it is probably one of the most intriguing mementos of former Hungarian quarter.

Mindszenty József Plaque

Mindszenty Cardinal’s visit to New York City is commemorated by a plaque that is placed on the front of the Hungarian House. The bilingual engraved inscription writes: “In this house Joseph Cardinal Mindszenty Prince-Primate of Hungary received the representatives of the Hungarians of New York City and vicinity on May 7, 1974”.

Bartók Plaque

As you walk on 57^th Street between 8^th and 9^th Avenues, you might come across a familiar face. A small plaque depicting Béla Bartók commemorates the famous 20^th-century composer on the north side of the street. Bartók left Budapest and settled in New York after the Nazis occupied Budapest in 1940. According to feastofmusic.com, the composer and his wife faced many hardships in the Big Apple as they had to survive on a small stipend from Columbia University where they spent several years transcribing the school’s extensive collection of Serbian and Croatian folk music.

Have you ever wondered which cities in the world are the most challenging, most exciting, or most eventful to live in? We have a few answers! Let’s take a look at the most extreme cities around the world.

The Coldest: Yakutsk, Russia

How cold does –8.8ºC sound to you? Imagine living in a city where this is the annual mean temperature. That place is Yakutsk, the capital of Russia’s Sakha Republic, Temperatures in Yakutsk regularly drop below –40ºC and the coldest-ever temperature was recorded at –64.4ºC. Even though it can get warmer than 30ºC in the summer, the ground is all permafrost and it never thaws up. And when the coldest months arrive, you have to keep your car running all day to save the battery from dying, and you can see the haze of residents’ breaths cover the city.

The Hottest: Kuwait City, Kuwait

Far from the Russian plains, Kuwait City’s temperatures peak around 34ºC all year round. In the summer months, however, it can get as hot as 45-47 degrees! In fact, Kuwait City had a record highest Asian temperature of 53.8ºC a few years ago. Constant sunshine might sound very attractive, but it is not without its dangers: being outside in the heat for too long can be life-threatening, and the government introduced a ban on outdoor work from 11 am–4 pm throughout the summer. There are more than 2 million local residents that live through the temperatures and sandstorms here.

The Driest: Aswan, Egypt

 If hot weather isn’t your favourite, you will probably want to avoid the Egyptian city of Aswan, where it is not only warm, but there is less than one millimetre of rain throughout the year. Thankfully for Aswan residents, the city is not without water, since it lies on the Nile, close to a dam that is one of the largest artificial water bodies in the world (Lake Nasser). Funnily enough, the name of Aswan is an old Nubian phrase, which means “too much water”. That, however, is because of the flooding of the Nile, not the precipitation.

The Wettest: Mawsynram, India

 The city of Mawsynram in India’s Meghalaya state is practically trapping all clouds with the Himalaya Mountain Range nearby, which means rain can’t escape to the north and usually falls right onto the city. There is an annual 11,871 millimetres of rain in the area. The only drier season is during December and January when there is only about 60 millimetres of rain. Locals always carry umbrellas and use basket-like covers (full-body umbrellas) for working on the fields, and visitors can enjoy the rivers and waterfalls nurtured by all the water coming down.

The Highest: La Rinconada, Peru

 Living in very high places takes quite a bit of adapting from the human body. Because of a lack of oxygen, natives in the highest populated mountain ranges of the world often have bigger lung capacities than “regulars” from lower areas. The highest of all of these cities is La Rinconada, a mining town in Peru. It lies at 5,100 metres above sea level and has about 30-50,000 residents. Like most high-elevation cities, locals in La Rinconada have extreme circumstances, but they can expect to have healthier hearts and longer lives.

The Most Isolated: Perth, Australia

People often forget how vast the Australian continent is, but the residents of Perth need no such reminders. The city is two full days’ drive away from the nearest large city in the country, and the desert journey there is so extreme that people taking it often put bumper stickers on their cars to celebrate their success. Perth is actually closer to Jakarta, Indonesia than Sydney, Australia, and it is quicker and cheaper to fly to Bali than to the eastern Australian coast. Despite its remoteness, Perth is usually voted as one of the top cities to live in worldwide.

The Windiest: Wellington, New Zealand

 The best-known “Windy City” of the world might be Chicago, but its wind-speeds are dwarfed by the capital of New Zealand, which sees average winds of 29 km/h throughout the year. Wellington is located right where hot air from the Equator meets the polar vortex (cold air) from the South Pole – the city is essentially a wind-breaker for all the winds generated here. In fact, there are winds close to 60 km/h almost half of the year, and at least 20 days annually where wind-speeds exceed 74 km/h.

The Most Populous: Tokyo, Japan

Out of the roughly 127 million people in Japan, more than a quarter live in the capital city of Tokyo. With its population of 38,830,000 (including the agglomeration), Tokyo has the most residents of any city on Earth and will continue to hold this record until about 2030 even as its population is declining. No wonder so many visitors are surprised at the sheer size of crowds at sightseeing spots, intersections (Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo is the busiest intersection of the world), or regular streets of the city.

The Most Crowded: Dhaka, Bangladesh

It may not be the largest city on Earth, but Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh is arguably the most densely populated. With more than 47,000 people per square kilometre and most housing in slums, life in Dhaka is always crowded. More than 1,400 people move to the city for work and other opportunities every day, even though it already boasts 17.4 million residents. Despite the population problems, there is plenty to see here – in fact, the city used to be known as the Venice of the East.

The Largest: New York City, USA

Trumping Dhaka and even Tokyo, New York City is easily the city with the largest land area in the world, as well as one of the most important financial, political, entertainment, culture, research, education, and touristic hubs on the globe. It is often said that the Big Apple is too big to ever truly discover, and with an area of 8,683 square kilometres (1,700 more than Tokyo, and almost as large as the whole US state of Connecticut), that is not hard to believe.

Arturo Di Modica — the sculptor of the famed “Charging Bull” statue in Wall Street — died in his home in Italy Friday. He was 80.

Di Modica had been fighting cancer for many years but continued to work, most recently working on a gigantic bronze depicting a pair of fighting stallions called “The Horses of Ippari” to be placed in his hometown of Vittoria in Sicily, Italian newspaper la Repubblica reported.

The Italian artist was most famous for his masterpiece, the 3 ½ ton bronze “Charging Bull,” which was completed in 1989 and has drawn millions of visitors each year to Bowling Green in the Financial District, where the statue is located.

It was created in the wake of the 1987 stock market crash and has since become a beloved and internationally-recognized symbol of Wall Street.

Di Modica moved to New York City in 1973, where he opened his first studio on Grand Street in SoHo, and another one on Crosby Street years later, where many of his masterpieces were created, according to his biography on Chargingbull.com.

Some of his greatest successes included marble pieces exhibited at Rockefeller Center, works in bronze at Castle Clinton National Monument in Battery Park, and a towering bronze horse featured in Lincoln Center, his biography says.

The History of the Charging Bull

Arturo Di Modica first conceived of the Charging Bull as a way to celebrate the can-do spirit of America and especially New York, where people from all other the world could come regardless of their origin or circumstances, and through determination and hard work overcome every obstacle to become successful. It’s this symbol of virility and courage that Arturo saw as the perfect antidote to the Wall Street crash of 1986.

Arturo worked on the now world-famous Charging Bull for over two years at his studio on Crosby Street in the Soho district of Manhattan. It was his most ambitious and massive work of sculpture to date, so large that the Bull had to be cast in separate bronze pieces and then laboriously welded together and hand finished. Once completed at the end of 1989, it weighed over three and a half tons and measured 18 feet long.

In the early morning hours of Friday, December 15, 1989, Arturo with a few friends dropped the Charging Bull on Broad Street right in front of the New York Stock Exchange. The previous night he’d gone to the location with a chronometer to check – noting that every 5 – 6 minutes the police patrol would come by, so he saw he’d have to drop the bull and get away within 4 ½ minutes. But on the actual morning of the operation, Arturo and his crew discovered that during the day the NYSE had installed a large Christmas tree, blocking the way. Arturo couldn’t even turn the truck around. So, on the spot Arturo decided to place the Charging Bull right under the tree, as a gigantic Christmas present for the City and the World. The next day the Charging Bull was news all around the world, and enormous crowds of excited onlookers and media surrounded the mysterious sculpture that had come from no one knew where.

The sculpture was removed at the end of the day by the NYSE, but thanks to then Parks Commissioner Henry Stern, Mayor Ed Koch and Arturo Piccolo of the Bowling Green Association, a permanent home was found for the Charging Bull close by at Bowling Green. The Charging Bull stands there to this day, visited by millions of tourists, a talisman for Wall Street traders, and a source of pride for all New York City residents.

The Statue of Liberty, officially named Liberty Enlightening the World, is a monument symbolizing the United States, and is one of the most recognizable symbols in the world. It welcomes visitors, immigrants and returning Americans travelling by ship. For many years, it was one of the first glances of the United States for millions of immigrants and visitors after returning from ocean voyages.

A sculptor by the name of Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi designed the statue, and Gustave Eiffel (the man who designed the Eiffel Tower) was responsible for the iron framework underneath the copper plating. It is placed near the entrance to New York City harbor, on a small island known as Liberty Island.

The statue is of a woman with a book in one hand and a torch held high in her other hand. It stands on the top of a giant pedestal. The entire structure is 305 feet (93 m) tall from the ground to the tip of the torch. The statue is the central part of the Statue of Liberty National Monument, administered by the National Park Service. The National Monument also includes Ellis Island.

The Statue of Liberty was officially dedicated and unveiled on October 28, 1886. A million people attended the parade and other festivities that were held that day to celebrate the event.

In October 1924, the Statue of Liberty became a national monument, and in 1982 it was restored at a cost of $ 87 million. Two years later, in 1984, the monument was named a World Heritage Site by the United Nations.
