: September 11 attacks: Windows on the World chef on his near-miss on 9/11 — he stopped off at the World Trade Center concourse to repair his glasses

Michael Lomonaco escaped with his life on Sept. 11, 2001 all because of a detour on his way to work and a pair of busted reading glasses. On that day, the New York City chef was headed to his job as culinary director of Windows on the World, the famed dining space at the World Trade Center. He took on the position in 1997 after an already impressive career that included stints at such iconic Big…

Hudson Yards Grill

This week I tried out Hudson Yards Grill in my endeavor to eat at all the new joints in the mall over there. Here’s how it went down:

Fried Oysters

These were great. Super crispy outside, like you’d find on good fried chicken. Tender, perfectly cooked inside. Almost like they were just steamed open. Get them.

Burger

Great dry aged flavor without being overly aggressive. I ordered medium rare…

For a change of pace, I sometimes substitute Cornish hens for traditional turkey on Thanksgiving or prime rib at Christmas. However, Chef Michael Lomonaco's fab recipe -- adapted from "The 21 Cookbook: Recipes and Lore from New York's Fabled Restaurant" -- is great year round. And unlike larger birds, these 1-pound hens cook in about 40 minutes. Click here for the recipe.

Pandemic Echos hitting  these 4 major Industries

     The restaurant industry has been a devastating scene as many local businesses have closed permanently. Still, while some remain open there is a sparse light of hope that businesses will return to normal in the near future. COVID cases have rocked the industry and the unpredictable rise still seems to be climbing. Chef owners such as Michael Lomonaco in New York City has laid off 200 workers due to the pandemic. There is a tight window of opportunity for workers in the industry, but still as the Chef mentioned in an interview, “Staying focused on the future helps me get through the day” there is hope in preparing for a better tomorrow.”

     Schools seem to have been hit the hardest by the pandemic. Especially when one person is infected it becomes a risk of others being affected. New York City for example shut down the public schools when 3% of tests for Covid-19 turned out positive. Mayor Bill de Blasio mentioned in an interview with the public that even though schools are temporary closed, the standards of public safety will be better than they were. It comes to no surprise that industry workers are also hard hit by the spread of the virus. The profession of Professors has declined per number of job openings from 14,247 to 8,651. There are more downfalls of schools closing than people have thought before, many professors don’t have students to tend for. This hardest hit industry needs hope to continue to improve standards and become able to be open to the public once again.

     Office jobs are non-existent with closures of many businesses. There seems to be a lack of motivation to also open offices back up because many businesses have been forced to have employees work from home. This state guidance has declined many occupations in the industry, most notably office receptionists. Job openings have declined 35% from October 2019 openings of 17,826 to October 2020 openings at 11,627. Accounts payable specialist jobs have decreased even more at 37% from similar October figures. There isn’t a significant demand for these professions whilst the pandemic has changed the way people do business outside of their home.

     Commercial businesses have also been largely impacted by the spread of the virus. According to a recent figure the average growth of the industry has decreased 5.5% from 2015 to 2020. It seems to show that lease companies are having a difficult time getting businesses to continue staying amidst the panic. Work at home protocols have also added to the decrease in businesses extending contracts. There isn’t much motivation for businesses to return if customers are going to avoid the virus by staying at home and shopping elsewhere.

„Windows on the World”: Electricianul eston din World Trade Center care a fotografiat nemurirea

Îmi amintesc foarte bine unde eram când am aflat de la televizor că s-au prăbușit „Turnurile Gemene”. Am privit reluările de zeci de ori și tot ce s-a întâmplat după, în direct.

E genul de tragedie care îți rămâne perfect întipărită în minte, și nu doar pentru că este comemorată în fiecare an. E un moment care a schimbat multe în lume, la toate nivelurile.

De-a lungul timpului am citit foarte mult pe acest subiect, am urmărit documentare, poveștile oamenilor care au murit, ale celor care au supraviețuit ca prin minune.

Am citit cu mult interes poveștile oamenilor care au vizitat World Trade Center de-a lungul timpului și și-au rememorat impresiile pe acest site.

Des menționat, „Windows on the World” a fost un restaurant la etajele 106 și 107 din turnul nordic al World Trade Center.

M-a fascinat întotdeauna, pentru că priveliștea era fabuloasă. Puteai vedea lumea de la peste 500 de metri înălțime. Exact cum îi spune și numele.

Am căutat deseori imagini pe internet cu restaurantul și panorama de la geamurile sale. Azi, absolut întâmplător, am dat peste una dintre aceste fotografii. 

Mi-a plăcut și am căutat sursa: fotki.com, un site obscur din Estonia, de care nu mai auzisem până acum. Pozele erau organizate în foldere, ca într-un calculator. Am căutat mai multe detalii și am găsit un guestbook, în care oamenii își exprimau regretul cu privire la moartea celui care făcuse și postase pozele.

Fotografiile porneau din anii '90, dar toate se opreau în 2002. I-am găsit numele în comentarii și am căutat pe internet mai multe detalii despre persoana care mi-a oferit o viziune unică și foarte personală, după cum părea, a acestui fascinant loc.

Konstantin Petrov (foto jos) a fost un imigrant eston, care locuia la New York. Era electrician la restaurantul „Windows on the World”. 

La fel ca mine, Erik Nelson, un cineast, a căutat pentru documentarul său „9/10: The Final Hours” mai multe imagini cu restaurantul și a dat peste același site. A investigat și a aflat povestea lui Konstantin, în 2014, făcând-o cunoscută tuturor prin intermediul unui articol în New York Times, scris de Nick Paumgarten.

Redau în continuare câteva pasaje interesante.

În iunie 2001, Konstantin Petrov s-a angajat la celebrul restaurant. A lucrat în tura de noapte. Asta pentru că avea deja un job de zi, era administratorul unei clădiri de apartamente în celălalt colț al Manhattanului. Îi convenea și pentru că era un fotograf pasionat, iar WTC era pustiu noaptea și putea poza în voie.

În vara lui 2001 a făcut numeroase fotografii în turn și în restaurant, surprinzând birouri, mese, scări, echipamente, lifturi. Multe la răsăritul soarelui, cu panorama orașului în spate. Și mai multe cu panorama în sine.

Nelson povestește că atunci când a descoperit fotografiile pe site-ul eston s-a simțit ca și cum ar fi găsit mormântul lui Tutankamon.

Imaginile au o melancolie parcă prevestitoare, oricât de banal era subiectul lor la acel moment. Se pare că sunt singurele fotografii atât de detaliate și în număr atât de mare făcute în turnuri.

„Inadvertently or not, [Konstantin Petrov] left behind a ghostly record, apparently the only one, of this strange twentieth-century aerie, as though he’d been sent here for this purpose alone”

Nelson a încercat să ia legătura cu el, dar nu a reușit să-i dea de urmă. L-a contactat pe fondatorul siteului fotki.com, Dmitri Don. Acesta venise la New York în 1995, ca programator, pentru a încerca să dezvolte acest site, pe care oamenii să poată posta imagini pe care să le vadă și prietenii lor. Înainte de Flickr și de Facebook. A încercat mai mulți ani să convingă investitori din NY să se implice în proiect, dar nu a reușit. A rămas fără bani și a revenit la Tallinn.

În 1998, l-a convins pe prietenul său din copilărie, Konstantin Petrov, să se mute la New York. Don avea 22 de ani, Petrov 25 la acea vreme. A făcut-o. A lucrat fără viză o perioadă, apoi a primit una de student și un green card, prin căsătorie. „Când s-a angajat la World Trade Center toți eram: «No way! Cât de cool!»”, povestește Don.

Tura de noapte a lui Petrov se termina la 8 dimineața. De obicei rămânea să bea cafeaua cu colegii care începeau munca, dar pe 11 septembrie 2001 a decis să plece direct acasă. Și-a luat mașina din parcarea de la subsol. Când ieșea, primul avion a lovit clădirea. A văzut niște dărâmături, dar nu s-a gândit la nimic grav. Când a ajuns acasă a văzut la TV ce s-a întâmplat și i-a sunat pe prietenii săi de la restaurant. A fost ultima oară când a mai vorbit cu ei.

Uitându-se prin pozele lui Petrov, cineastul Erik Nelson a văzut multe imagini cu el pe motocicletă. Astfel, s-a gândit că poate a murit într-un accident, de aceea nu mai sunt poze după 2002. L-a întrebat pe Don și acesta i-a povestit că, la un an după ce se angajase la „Windows on the World”, în vara lui 2002, Konstantin Petrov a murit pe loc într-un accident de motocicletă, pe West Side Highway din New York.

“It’s a big lesson to all of us”, Don said. “Take picture now of what we have”.

P.S. Bucătarul-șef și directorul „Windows on the World”, Michael Lomonaco, a supraviețuit pentru că s-a oprit în lobby la World Trade Center să-și repare ochelarii. Când primul avion a intrat în turnul nordic, la ora locală 08:46:40, era încă în magazin. Clădirea a fost evacuată și Lomonaco a fost salvat.

Larry Silverstein, unul dintre proprietarii WTC și cel care a construit actualul World Trade Center, lua mereu micul dejun la restaurant. În dimineața zilei de 11 septembrie, soția lui l-a presat să meargă la dermatolog și astfel a scăpat de la o moarte sigură.

John Anzalone

John Anzalone, 90, of Forty Fort, was called home to be with our Lord, Thursday, May 28, 2020. Born in Pittston, November of 1929, he was the son of the late Angelo and Concetta (Lomonaco) Anzalone where he grew up in West Pittston.

John was a longtime employee of the American Silk Mill, Plains. He worked all the way up until he was 80 years old. When he wasn't working, John could be found sitting on his front porch, smiling at those who passed by or taking long walks around the town collecting one man's trash that he turned into his treasure. He loved coming home with a wagon full of "goodies."

He was a kindhearted soul who would give the shirt off of his back to help someone in need, whether he knew them or not. Some of his lifetime passions include roller skating, ice skating, bike riding, fishing, bowling, flea marketing, rebuilding and fixing bicycles for those in his neighborhood, and being the family "jokester" always ready to make someone laugh and smile … and let us not forget, he LOVED Kellogg's Cornflakes. He always said that a cup of cornflakes in the morning and one before bed kept him alive for so long.

John was a family man. He loved his family and held them near and dear to him. He took great pride in raising his children and being there to help raise not only his grandchildren but to see his great-grandchild be born and grow in his home. He leaves behind his loving children: Sandra and her husband, Wendell Bass, of Forty Fort; Deborah and her husband, Michael Eyrich, of Reading; Barbara Kellar, of North Carolina; John Anzalone Jr. and his wife April, of Ashley; his grandchildren: Suzanne and Jamie O'Gorman, of Forty Fort; John (LJ) and Jordan Anzalone, of Ashley; great-grandchildren: Amy and Emma; his sister, Connie A. Anzalone, of West Pittston; along with numerous nieces, nephews, and many more friends and family including, but not limited to, those in North Carolina, New York and Kansas. John was preceded in death by his wife, Arline Anzalone; his granddaughter, Samantha O'Gorman; brothers: Cataldo (Kie), Samuel, Joseph, and Angelo Anzalone; sisters: Susan Perfilio, Rose Goodman, Mary Tomashefski, Grace Gazey, Catherine Bosco, and Carmella (Millie) Anzalone; and his son-in-law, Chuck Kellar.

Due to the restrictions due to the pandemic, a private service will be held at the Hugh B. Hughes & Son Inc. Funeral Home, 1044 Wyoming Ave., Forty Fort, with the Rev. Dr. Michael Stine officiating. The interment will be in Denison Cemetery, Swoyersville.

The family would like to personally thank Hospice of the Sacred Heart as well as his loving doctor, Dr. Nicole Balchune, for going above and beyond to provide such loving care. In lieu of flowers, please reach out to his daughter, Sandra Bass, to send an expression of sympathy/condolences.
