    New York City’s “bodega cats” are beloved fi New York City’s “bodega cats” are beloved fixtures in the Big Apple — but they’re on the wrong side of the law. The convenience store cats that live at many of the city’s bodegas and delis look innocent enough, spending their days lounging in sun-soaked storefronts or slinking between shelves of snack foods as they collect friendly pets from customers. Officially, though, state law bars most animals from stores that sell food, with bodega owners potentially facing fines if their tabby is caught curling up near the tins of tuna and toilet paper. The pets’ precarious legal position recently came into the spotlight again when a petition circulated online that advocated for the city to shield bodega cat owners from fines, racking up more than 10,000 signatures.

    Brooklyn Heights, perhaps the best-known of all th Brooklyn Heights, perhaps the best-known of all the Brooklyn neighborhoods, owes its name to the Dutch, with a tweak from the British and the last Ice Age. Some 50,000 years ago, when the climate warmed up after the last Ice Age, the melting ice was trapped by the hills for several thousand years. Then, the water broke through, cutting a swath that created the Narrows, Upper New York Bay, the East River, the Harlem River and Long Island Sound. The events left a high palisade towering above the East River. The indigenous people who lived in the area named it Ihpetonga, meaning “high, sandy bluff.” We call it the Heights, now topped by a pedestrian deck renowned as the Promenade.
