☆ Serge Raoul, Whose SoHo Bistro Glittered With Stars, Dies at 86
  + stars: | 2024-03-15 | by ( Penelope Green | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Serge Raoul, an Alsatian-born former filmmaker who with his brother, Guy, a classically trained chef, founded Raoul’s, a clubby French bistro and SoHo canteen in Lower Manhattan that drew generations of artists, rock stars, writers, models, machers and movie people — along with those who yearned to be near them — died on March 8 at his home in Nyack, N.Y. The cause was a glioblastoma, said his son, Karim Raoul. Serge was on hiatus from making documentaries and Guy had been working as a chef uptown when Serge set out to find him a restaurant. A friend thought Luizzi’s, a cozy and well-worn spaghetti and meatballs joint on Prince Street between Sullivan and Thompson, might be for sale. As it turned out, the owners, Ida and Tom Luizzi, were happy to make a deal if it included the provisions that Mr. Luizzi could drop in every day and that Inky the cat could stay.

☆ Build in the Suburbs, Solve the Housing Crisis

Unlike the Levittowns of 1957, these early suburbs were not as homogeneous, because the wealthy people who lived there were so reliant on domestic labor. The more vaporous claim that density threatens a certain “way of life” requires us to ask: What way? In 1960, during the high period of the ranch house, 44 percent of American households were made up of married couples with children. During the same period, the proportion of households containing only a single individual more than doubled, to 28 percent. In 2010, the population of Nassau County was 66 percent white; now it is 57 percent white.
