It’s 8 a.m. and a crowd of trendy young women have swarmed a spot on West Houston and Sullivan Street in SoHo. But they’re not waiting for the latest fro-yo craze or a Harry Styles sighting. Instead, these cool downtown kids are waiting for a 70-year-old Romanian immigrant named Peter Farkas.

Investment firm Apollo Global Management launched a £5.7 billion ($7.7 billion) bid for easyJet on Friday, trumping a rival offer from Castlelake and setting up a potential takeover battle for one of Europe’s biggest airlines. EasyJet’s board said it would back Apollo’s £7.15-a-share proposal, withdrawing support for Castlelake’s £6.90-a-share offer ($7.3 billion), which the parties had agreed in principle only days earlier. Apollo’s proposal, which it needs to firm up by early August, marks a bold attempt to outmaneuver Castlelake and take control of the three-decade old budget airline that has seen its stock price halve since the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic. “It’s no surprise that a second…

Prior to the current controversy, Dark Horse published two of Dr. Medoff’s other books, “Whistleblowers” and “Cartoonists Against Racism” without incident. It was only…

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles! Graham Platner’s political collapse did more than derail a scandal-plagued Senate campaign in Maine. It also completed Pennsylvania Sen. John Fetterman’s public transformation from a Bernie Sanders-backed progressive populist to one of the left’s most aggressive internal critics.Fetterman was among the first prominent Democrats to call out Platner’s mounting controversies, even as many party leaders continued backing the scandal-plagued candidate until a former girlfriend publicly accused Platner of rape, an allegation he denies. The accusation prompted the remaining pillars of Democratic support to collapse.By Wednesday night, Fetterman laid into his onetime political…

Everything’s bigger in Texas — including the nightmares. On Thursday, Six Flags Over Texas opened Tormenta: Rampaging Run. It’s the world’s first-ever “giga dive coaster,” a new breed of thrill ride that towers between 300 and 399 feet and dangles riders face-first over the edge. Located in the northeast part of the Lone Start State in Arlington, Tex., the coaster has major fear factor: a slow crawl to the top that puts riders at 309 feet — the same height as the Statue of Liberty. Then the ride holds daredevils over the abyss for an agonizing three seconds, allowing them…

Even a historic World Cup performance couldn’t get him to row. Norway is into its first-ever World Cup quarterfinal, and the “Viking Row” celebration has become a hit after games. But one fan has noticeably refused to take part — and now has explained why. “First of all, I just find it really stupid,” Emil Lappen told Sky News. “That’s the thing I thought when they came up with it, that it was stupid and annoying, and I didn’t want to do it.” Lappen refused to perform the celebration after Norway’s 3-2 win over Senegal at MetLife Stadium, even as…

Getting a Big Apple dream body takes a bite out of your budget. That’s according to new data about the most expensive American cities to stay active. New City is ranked as number three.  It’s no surprise given New York’s exorbitant costs of living, much less living well. Be it a $15,000 membership to NYC’s ultra luxe label supermarket, a $15,000 liposuction procedure, or a $100,000 access fee to Manhattan’s most exclusive wellness club, eating clean and looking strong comes at a premium. “New York is already an expensive place to live, so it’s not surprising to see fitness costs…
