Many New York City apartments have eccentric kitchens, with features like bathtubs, miniature appliances, and outdated ovens. These peculiar kitchens are often a snapshot of the city's history, with bathtubs in the kitchen being a requirement after the New York Tenement House Act of 1901.

Wes Anderson's "Asteroid City" Soars at Box Office and Twitter Reviews.

"Asteroid City," the latest film from Wes Anderson, is visually arresting and filled with quirky comedic performances from a star-studded cast. Anderson's signature style can be off-putting, but there's enough on-screen to allow the viewer to put aside some reservations. The film works best as an uneven lark, a kind of extended mix of Saturday Night Live and Monty Python, offering enough smiles and low-key laughs to paper over a few of the filmmaker's annoying tendencies.
