El chocolate caliente en el Indian Road Café viene en tazas de
tamaños generosos…
Nene, no está suficiente frío afuera.
Con las temperaturas manteniéndose a niveles suaves estos días, y las festividades en el pasado, parece ser que hay pocas razones para mantener pesados abrigos y guantes listos.
Pero no se desanime – el invierno todavía puede llegar.

“I’m going to miss the
friends I’ve made,” said Mazzini, whose family has had area barbershops since
the 1940’s.
Enter Ray’s Barbershop, and you will be greeted by endless banter.
The chatter tends to revolve around sports, what the coffee around the corner tastes like today, the rising cost of college tuition.
It seems no topic is off-limits.
If you name it, they’ll talk about it.
There is only one issue the men (it’s men, mostly) here tend to avoid.

El próximo año, Ray Mazzini estará llevando sus
operaciones a New Jersey después de décadas en el Norte de Manhattan.
Visite la Barbería Ray durante el día y será recibido con interminables bromas.
La charla tiende a girar sobre deportes, a que sabe el café de la esquina, el aumento del costo de los colegios. Si usted lo nombra, ellos hablan de ello.
Solo hay un tópico que los hombres aquí tratan de evitar.

William Alicea—better known to most of Upper Manhattan
as Will TeeZ died this past Wed., Jan. 16th.
Alicea was widely known and loved.
Still, despite his being a long-time Washington Heights resident, I’d never met him. I
only became aware of him after seeing Facebook posts about his illness. I
watched in amazement as contributions to his Indiegogo campaign for hospital
bills rose higher and higher.
Wow, this is a great story, I thought.
I made inquiries.
Everyone wanted to talk about him. Soon I was in
possession of his cell phone number.
I hesitated to call.
The photo on his Indiegogo page was a thin
man, seemingly wasted by disease.
But I dialed his number.
I shouldn’t have worried.

The ground breaking of the High Bridge’s renovation was attended by Mayor Michael Bloomberg and (from left to right) Councilmember Ydanis Rodriguez, Assemblymember Gabriela Rosa, and Congressman José Serrano.
For Teresa Marrera, the pool has always been so close, yet so far away.
The Harlem River separated Marrera, a resident of the Highbridge neighborhood of the Bronx, from the public pool at Highbridge Park in northern Manhattan.
The Manhattan pool is only a ten-minute walk from her house, explained Marrera, but High Bridge, which was once a portion of the Old Croton Aqueduct that carried water from the Bronx into Manhattan, has been closed since 1970.
Now, tall gates with tangles of barbed wire block what was once a busy pedestrian thoroughfare.

Para Teresa Marrera, la piscina siempre ha estado tan cerca, aunque tan lejos.
El Río Harlem separaba a Marrera, residente del vecindario Highbridge del Bronx, de la piscina pública en el Parque Highbridge en el Norte de Manhattan.
La piscina de Manhattan, caminando, está a solo diez minutos de su casa, pero HighBridge, el puente, el cual una vez fue una porción del Acueducto Old Croton que llevaba agua desde el Bronx hasta Manhattan, ha estado cerrado desde el 1970.
Ahora, altas verjas con alambre con púas bloquean lo que una vez fue un concurrido camino peatonal.

Brothers Elias and Laszlo made get-well cards during the first Mitzvah Day celebrated by Beth Am, the People’s Temple and the Hebrew Tabernacle.
Hannah Hahn’s Sundays are usually busy.
You won’t catch her sleeping in or watching television.
“Are you kidding me? I don’t know anyone who does that,” she said with a laugh.
But this past Sun., Jan. 13th, she and fellow congregrants at the Beth Am Temple were busier than usual.

Los hermanos Elías y Laszlo, hicieron tarjetas de recupérate pronto durante el Día Mitzvah, celebrado por primera vez por Beth Am, el Templo del Pueblo y Hebrew Tabernacle.
Los domingos de Hannah Hahn suelen ser ocupados.
No la vas a encontrar durmiendo o viendo la televisión.
"¿Me estás tomando el pelo? Yo no conozco a nadie que haga eso", dijo con una sonrisa.
Pero el pasado domingo 13 de enero, ella y sus compañeros de la congregación del Templo Beth Am estaban más ocupados que de costumbre.
