To anyone who witnessed the encounter it would have seemed perfectly innocent - a few throwaway words from celebrity TV host to a junior crew member he barely knew. But, to Brooke Nevils (pictured right), she claims the comment Matt Lauer (pictured left) made to her in passing reignited a trauma which she had spent two years trying to bury. And, to her, the warm smile that accompanied his words was, 'ghoulish' and calculated. 'Weren't you in Sochi?' She had indeed been in Sochi.

I survived a C-section with no anesthetic - it was agony and I felt the surgeon cut through layers of my muscle
Jon Rahm has suffered an injury scare just one week ahead of the next major of the year at Pinehurst. The two-time major winner withdrew midway through the second round of LIV Golf’s latest tournament in Houston Saturday. Playing his first tournament since missing the cut at the PGA Championship last month, the Spaniard had appeared to struggle through the opening round Friday but managed to complete all 18 holes to card a three-under 69.

A psychic message from my past – it's all going to be OK
On Saturday, relishing the almost fall weather (yay!), I pulled on a jacket I hadn't worn in months. It felt comforting - emotionally as well as physically; a sign that time is moving on regardless, and all we can do is move with it.

Rooted in the hood - the community gardens of New York City
Hell's Kitchen Farm Project, atop the Metro Baptist Church in Hell's Kitchen The late 1960s and 1970s witnessed the devastation of New York, with many buildings in low-income areas left unattended, burned, and reduced to rubble. Drug dealers, gangs, and junkies soon moved in, making those neighborhoods unsafe to live in.

Cover story – the evolution of a print magazine
Over the course of five years, W42ST has published 63 magazines (the 64th was halted in March because of COVID-19). Each cover celebrates the creativity of an individual artist – and more than once the ingenuity of the W42ST team – as well as the evolution of the magazine.

Compassion and fear - when homeless shelters move into your neighborhood
“When you look historically at homelessness among single adults, there are two common patterns,” says Muzzy Rosenblatt.
What are my rights? New Yorkers demand answers on rent
The tens of thousands of New Yorkers who are behind on their rent were able to breathe a brief sigh of relief this week, when Governor Cuomo signed the Tenant Safe Harbor Act. The law permanently protects tenants from eviction if they have been unable to pay rent because of COVID-19.
A reluctant cook attempts the best breakfast baked beans recipe
When I first started taking driving lessons, each week would bring with it a rising sense of dread. I’d wait by the window, willing my instructor to just somehow not arrive. I wasn’t wishing some horrible car accident on him. I didn’t picture him, bloody and broken, having fallen foul of one of Edinburgh’s most confusing roundabouts, or being T-boned by a speeding truck mid-three-point-turn.
Juneteenth – what it is, and ways to celebrate
Keri Jordan-Leander's great-great-great-grandfather was a former slave who went on to be co-founder of Tuskegee University. Her grandfather was tortured by his racist co-workers at a steel mill, and her father worked as a cop in Philly during the time of the MOVE bombing. This is her story.
The easiest cookie recipe you'll ever make
I'm the world's worst cooking buddy. Matt is so patient with me, planning our recipes, texting over the shopping list ahead of time, conscious of my reluctant cook status, and leading me by the hand cautiously, like a trainer might treat a skittish horse. Matt is a cook whisperer.

The ally series - a guide to being a good human
These interviews originally took place for the June 2019 issue of W42ST magazine. JANELLE LAWRENCE “The question has been asked: How do we become better humans? Originally, it seemed like a small answer would do: recycle, compost, stop using plastic straws, be kinder. But as most of our simple questions these days go, it took further probing.

The Stanley Tucci recipe book
Ah, Stanley Tucci. You with the biceps and the flirtatious glance. There's hardly a man or woman with a pulse who isn't smitten right now. And I suspect you know it. You had us at negroni. Up. Shaking that shaker, T-shirt sleeves straining against immaculately toned arms, you can hardly have been oblivious to our collective sighs. Then you made gnocchi and it was game over. Our frustrated lockdown hormones had a new object of desire. Don't wait up, Cuomo; Tucci's coming to dinner.
The best meal kits, tested and rated
In the last two months, we've probably spent more time in our little Manhattan kitchens than we ever thought possible. And, until the bars, restaurants, and theaters reopen, it's a space we'll be getting used to for some time to come. Back in January 2018, we painstakingly tested some of the best meal kits on the market. Our stoves didn’t know what to make of all the unexpected activity, and the poor people at Seamless thought we’ve died.

The rent crisis that could force a New York City exodus
Cindy Sibilsky is facing a heartbreaking decision. After calling New York her home for 18 years, could it finally be time to leave? “I’ve never felt so torn,” she says. “New York isn’t just where I live, it’s who I am. It’s in my identity, my blood. Displaced from where my heart resides, who would I be? But is something that’s doomed to fail worth fighting for?” A live entertainment producer, she’s lost all the income that was contracted or planned for the rest of the year.

Crime in Hell's Kitchen
Lynnette was almost mugged at lunchtime in Times Square. Alan was chased down 10th Ave while out for a run in the morning. Henry and his girlfriend were threatened and spat on while walking their dog. In the last four weeks, residents have reported a rising sense of insecurity, with many feeling afraid to go outside amid scenes of drug deals, graffiti, theft, and people defecating in the street. And they're placing the blame, largely, on the homeless population.
From luxury real estate to COVID-19 frontline
Danny Sayegh has gone from real estate to the front line in the fight against COVID-19 Don't call Danny Sayegh a hero. “I personally don’t like the word,” he says. “It's not that I'm offended by it or anything. It’s just – for me – this is something I went to school for, I have degrees in, I'm educated on – it's something I just do.” What he “just” does is care for the sickest COVID-19 patients on ventilators in the ICU at Columbia Presbyterian Hospital.
