Good morning. It's a quiet Sunday, so the paper is short: the school week ahead, a correction from yesterday, and a bakery that fed Yorkville for 116 years.

This Week

A short public-school week: closed Wednesday, early dismissal for middle schools Thursday

NYC public schools are closed Wednesday, Nov. 11, for Veterans Day, per the Education Department's calendar.

Corrections

A correction from Saturday's edition

An early version of Saturday's history corner said the Yorkville delegation behind St. Joseph's 1873 founding went to "the Jesuits of St. Ignatius." At the time, that Jesuit parish was called St. Lawrence O'Toole. It was later renamed St. Ignatius Loyola. The corner was then replaced for an unrelated reason.

Yorkville, Remembered

Glaser's Bake Shop served First Avenue for 116 years

Glaser's Bake Shop opened at 1670 First Avenue in 1902. Its founders, John and Justine Glaser, were Bavarian immigrants, and the family owned the building and lived above the shop for generations. The bakery closed in July 2018, after 116 years in Yorkville.

A Sunday in November is the right day to find the other glove before Monday morning does.
