New Yorkers Booed Alt-Right Firebrand Milo Yiannopoulos Out of Nomad Bar

Milo Yiannopoulos gets a very New York welcome at a Nomad bar

Controversial alt-right media figurehead Milo Yiannopoulos was shouted out of Nomad bar Churchill Tavern on Sunday. Members of the Democratic Socialists of America chanted, “Nazi scum get out” at Yiannopoulos until he did just that. He then took to Instagram to say the group “shoved and screamed at” him, though a below video if the incident shows a relatively peaceful scene. This isn’t the first time Yiannopoulos has been booted from a NYC establishment: Jue Lan Club canceled an event of his last year.

N.Y. Cake & Baking Supply finds new home

Amateur pastry cooks were sad to hear news that longtime N.Y. Cake & Baking Supply was being forced out of its home due to a rent increase, but the 38-year-old cake shop has found a new location. This fall, it will move just one block away to 118 West 22nd St., between Sixth and Seventh avenues, bringing its copious cookie cutters, overflowing sprinkle supply, and other baking props with it. Co-owners (and sisters) Lisa Mansour and Jenny Kash will also add baking classes at the new space. To prepare for the move, the current store at 56 West 22nd St. will sell some goods for half-price starting May 1.

Empellon’s Alex Stupak stands up for pastry chefs everywhere

Looks like Empellon chef-owner Alex Stupak is dipping his toes into journalism. In a half-opinion, half-reported story, Stupak responds to Times critic Pete Wells’ recent essay complaining about the rise of the restaurant ice cream sundae. “Dessert was put on this planet in order to surprise us. When did it become so numbingly predictable?” Wells wrote. Stupak claps back by interviewing a myriad of male restaurateurs who defend the sundae and breaking down the tough economics of serving dessert in a restaurant.
