Hayley Peterson was enjoying a few beers at Gottscheer Hall in Queens when a staffer asked if her table wanted to participate in the bar’s steinholding competition. She’d never held a stein — competitively, that is — but the concept isn’t too tough to grasp: Participants must hold a 5-pound liter of beer with their arm extended, parallel to the floor, for as long as they can.

Physical health is just one part of aging well. Your mental, emotional and social well-being…
Louis Vuitton launching makeup was always going to generate buzz. It’s the world’s biggest luxury brand, and among the last of the mega labels to release its own beauty line. Rivals like Chanel and Armani have sold cosmetics and perfume for decades; more recently, Hermés, Gucci, Prada and others have made splashy entrances into the category.But when the collection was revealed on Tuesday, it wasn’t the packaging designed by furniture designer Konstantin Grcic, or even the involvement of legendary makeup artist Pat McGrath that seemed to capture the public’s attention. Instead, it was the prices.At $160 for a single lipstick…
