Here, a nice piece on Amber Unicorn Books, Myrna and Lou Donato’s used book store that has a huge collection of 16,000 cookbooks. Who knew they had a location on Charleston Boulevard from 1981 to 1997 that closed until 2008? [The View]

Tao in New York City faces a class-action wage lawsuit that alleges the restaurant ”neglected to pay minimum wages to some employees and that certain tipped workers were required to share their gratuities with staffers that were ineligible for tips.” About 100 employees, mainly polishers and stockers, are eligible to join the lawsuit.
