By Jose B. RiveraWe welcome Cathedral High School to our community. Cathedral High School, which was founded in 1905 by the Sisters of Charity, has moved from its prior location at East 56th Street and First Avenue to its new location at East 97th Street between Lexington and Park Avenue.
Great Location
The move to East 97th Street places Cathedral High School very close to public transportation via the number 6 train and buses on Lexington Avenue plus the crosstown bus but a short walk from the school entrance.

Congestion Pricing; Another Tax
By Jose B. Rivera
August 19,2023 -Well it looks like Congestion Pricing will come to New York City. What it means is that cars coming into certain areas of Manhattan at certain times will be taxed for it. Their freedom of movement will be taxed. All in a supposed effort to ease congestion. Our congestion mostly occurs for about two hours each day and is part of any major city. In fact it’s a sign of a successful city. One in which good are needed, purchased and sold. The question is, why play with the flow of goods into the city? And remember, it’s a city for god’s sake! What are those proposing this new tax expect? Empty streets? And why even have that expectation? People and goods have to get around or commerce and food will dry up. Knowing that no matter traffic will still in fact stay congested, city elected officials have chosen to tax cars much like they tax cigarettes. With the knowledge that their tax won’t stop the cars or smokers. Quick and easy money!
My Love of Pumpkin!
By Eileen Barett
East Harlem - November 27, 2013 - Anyone who has ever walked into my bakery quickly figures out that I have a special place in my heart for pumpkin. The Best Pumpkin Cake in the World is our signature dessert. It sits at the top of our menu and it comes in many forms: a cupcake, a coffee cake, it can be gluten free or sugar free
It is that time of year, where everywhere you turn a pumpkin is being picked, carved, etched, painted, roasted or merely being used as a decorative piece. For most children – and some adults— the month of October and much of November means Halloween candy, Halloween costumes and more Halloween candy. Pumpkin pies, pumpkin cake and anything pumpkin. Thankfully, at Aromas, we celebrate Pumpkin all year long.
