Gradually, Breads Bakery has been expanding beyond its original 2013 flagship near Union Square, with locations near Lincoln Center and a kiosk in Bryant Park. Its latest addition is on the Upper East Side, opening Friday, in the space that was occupied by Maison Kayser on Third Avenue, with an airy, open floor plan and…

A credenza is a multitalented piece of furniture. It can hold fine china or stereo components. It can serve as a platform for a television or a tray with bar supplies. It’s also a good place to put Thanksgiving platters piled high with food. “Everyone likes them for storage, and for serving,” said Raili Clasen,…
Sometimes a preoperative test of questionable value results in unanticipated complications, as happened to a man in his 50s scheduled for repair of a very painful hernia. Two Colorado doctors reported in 2014 that the man’s lab tests and physical exam were normal. But a chest X-ray, ordered because he had a history of mild…
