It was a bummer for a group of art history students to fly all the way to Rome and wind up spending days in the rain with no access to the Sistine Chapel. But being among the first to lay eyes on Pope Francis made up for it.
Daemen College professor Laura Sommer was in Rome with a dozen students, most majoring in art history, when the Catholic cardinals gathered in Rome to elect a new pope this week. For students who had studied the works of Michelangelo, being denied access to the Sistine Chapel was a great disappointment, she said.
"We were hoping there would be a trade-off," she said.
The students were late getting back to Rome on Wednesday because their bus suffered a flat tire on their day trip to Pompeii, and their tour guide failed to keep to his two-hour limit, she said. The rain was also unrelenting.
"The students were miserable," Sommer said.
They just missed seeing the white smoke when they re-entered Rome, but their hotel was fortunately located only two blocks from St. Peter's Square.
When the bus finally pulled over, everyone took off.
"When it was starting, it was absolutely frantic," said student Rachel Gau, 20. "People were running, trying to get pictures. Driving here was mayhem. I have never seen anything like this, so many people trying to get to one place at one time."
But she and her schoolmates arrived in time to hear the announcement of the new pope and get blessed by Pope Francis.
Gau and Sommer hung back a few hundred feet from the square so they saw the pope from a distance. A long time passed, though, before anyone would figure out who the small white figure standing before the crowd was. People around her were saying it was a South African, even an American, before they finally talked to someone watching TV who set them straight.
Despite all the rain, wind and cold, they said, witnessing the history-making moment was worth it.
"This is beyond comparison," Gau said. "It's all just very exciting. It's cold but it's definitely worth it."

Prince Harry might know just what went wrong in last August's photo scandal involving his naked antics in Las Vegas.
"It was probably a classic example of me probably being too much army, and not enough prince. It's a simple case of that," he said during an interview at his military base in Afghanistan.
Harry, 28, was partying in the hotspot just before he was deployed to Afghanistan, when embarrassing photographs of him were released.
"At the end of the day I probably let myself down, I let my family down, I let other people down," he said. "But at the end of the day I was in a private area and there should be a certain amount of privacy that one should expect."
"Back home all my close friends rallied round me and were great," he added.
The furor highlighted not only the issue of privacy but the difficulties of being a prince and taking part in normal life.

Dairy market volatility will be persistent
Dairy market volatility will be persistent
The dairy industry could see a shakeout between those who can and cannot manage volatility.
During IDFA's Tuesday morning session at Dairy Forum 2012, Rabobanks's Tim Hunt and Blimling and Associate's Phil Plourd discussed the topic of "Dairy Market Outlook" with nearly 800 conference attendees. Both predicted dairy could have great times ahead, but the road will not always be smooth.
"To date, the U.S. dairy market has been similar to the sixth man in basketball regarding dairy export markets," says Phil Plourd, president of Blimling and Associates, Inc. "We make significant contributions and even start from time to time. However, we still are not the main players," says Plourd. "The U.S. is growing its base. However, we need to get our heads around the fact that future export growth is not assured," says Plourd.
"There is indeed room for growth in the U.S. dairy export business," suggests Tim Hunt, global dairy strategist with Rabobank. "New Zealand, the world's largest dairy exporter, is slowing. Land prices continue to rise, and returns on raising sheep are heading up," says Hunt. "We don't believe New Zealand will have 5 percent growth in milk long-term. We can expect 2 to 3 percent growth to become the norm," says Hunt.
The developed dairy world can be a long-term supplier to other regions. High-production dairy areas have good climates and resources to produce milk. "Also, 18 of the world's largest 20 dairy processing companies are found in the developed dairy world," says Hunt.
Consumer demand should also continue to grow.
"Global dairy consumption should grow 2.4 percent on an annual rate," says Rabobank's Hunt. "We expect that growth to be unbalanced. Overwhelmingly, emerging market countries will be the larger share of dairy growth," says Hunt.
Plourd agrees. "What is the future of pizza sales in the U.S.?" asks Plourd. The average American already eats about 48 slices of pizza each year. In addition, there is an estimated 60,000 pizza stores in the U.S.

That is one steamy fitness plan.
Recently engaged Gabrielle Union, 41, divulged her unorthodox approach to keeping her fabulous physique on Conan Monday night: an exercise and diet regimen she dubbed "The Porn Diet."
Her gurus? Adult film stars, who happen to work out at her gym.
When host Conan O'Brien asked whether she watches them exercise near her, like on the Stairmaster, Union amusingly replied, "Yep, and I'll be on the next one going, 'You're not getting off before me!' "
But the Porn Diet doesn't end there. Union, who said yes after basketball star Dwyane Wade popped the question last month, also vicariously receives weight-loss tips from the adult performers, by spying on them at the gym's juice bar.
"I'll watch and see what they're ordering," the Being Mary Jane star said, adding that they appear to adhere to a vegan diet based on what they choose.
And how, exactly, does she know how her fellow gym-goers make their living? She told O'Brien she recognizes them, which made the host blush.
Sounds like it's going to be one heck of a honeymoon.

Orchard Park Town Board members told senior citizens this week they support their quest for a new center.
But how that might come about is uncertain for now.
Senior citizens wore bright red shirts to the Town Board meeting Wednesday night, and eight of them asked board members to obtain the former Baker Road school from the Orchard Park Central School District. The district is moving its administrative and transportation offices to Southwestern Boulevard near Angle Road, and it plans to sell or lease the Baker Road building that now houses administrative offices.
"I do hear you, and I've heard you for the last three years I've been sitting here," Supervisor Janis Colarusso said. "I'm right behind you."
She said she couldn't say anything more "because as you know this board makes decisions with three votes."
The two councilman talked of finances and legalities.
Councilman Eugene Majchrzak said the town must find out what process would be used to sell the Baker Road school.
"I'm in full support of what your needs are. I can't promise that we will be able to provide you, right from the start, some of the state of the art items you had mentioned," he said.
"I'm supportive of anything that would meet the needs of the seniors," Councilman David Kaczor said.
School Superintendent Matthew McGarrity Thursday repeated the district's position that it cannot sell the building for $1. Voters approved the purchase and renovation for the new bus garage and administrative offices with the understanding the sale or lease of the Baker Road building would offset some of the cost, he said.
The School Board will be discussing a draft appraisal of the building during an executive session at Tuesday's meeting, he said. No action will be taken, but the board also will be looking into what process to use to sell or lease the building.
"We're going to look at all the options and pick the best option for us," McGarrity said.
Kaczor told seniors finances have to be considered, and he thought it unlikely the district could give away the school. Also, a formal study would have to be done on the building, which would need some repairs and retrofitting, he said.
"I think this board is prepared at least to entertain it, to look at it, and get input from all parts of the community to see if it's viable and if it would work," Kaczor said.
Colarusso also suggested the district should give the building to senior citizens, who could give it to the town.
"We're not sure they can give you the building, but dreams can come true and you remember that," she said.
Jacqueline Briggs, president of the Orchard Park Senior Citizens Group, presented a petition signed by 348 people in favor of a new center to replace the cramped Linwood Avenue center.
Mary Ann Martin of Cole Road said she started attending the center when she was restricted in her physical activities.
"That actually saved my sanity," she said.
But sometimes the bridge players have to play in the billiard room, and hope no one wants to play pool, and sometimes it's difficult to hear the lectures because of a dance class in the room above it, she said.
Alfred Szymanski said the senior population is growing and baby boomers are retiring at a faster rate than in previous years. "I see our town at a crossroads," he said.
He said the cost of a center will only increase in the future.
"I feel the Town Board should make a greater effort in handling this situation," Szymanski said.

This is actually a very easy equation: A + B = C.
A) A notable (if insufficient) portion of the tax payments made by Buffalo residents goes to support the city school district.
B) Buffalo Mayor Byron W. Brown represents all of those taxpayers.
C) He should be more than slightly involved in ensuring that taxpayers' investment is well-placed.
Yet, he isn't. Brown and his aides go to lengths to prevent him from having to talk about education. While taxpayers of the state's five big-city school districts directly support those schools through city taxes, only one mayor, Michael Bloomberg of New York City, has direct control over schools. The others have only the power of the purse – hardly insignificant – and the bully pulpit as tools of influence. Brown employs neither.
Maybe Brown has a good reason for not being more involved in the schools. If so, as News reporter Mary Pasciak wrote Saturday, he ducked several opportunities to reveal them.
It could be the lack of direct influence that causes Brown to demur. That would certainly be understandable. If he starts defending taxpayers' interests, taxpayers might also want to hold him accountable for improvement in a district that needs it the way a drowning man needs air.
But understandable isn't the same as acceptable. While the city contributes only 8 percent of the district's budget – about half of what Syracuse and Rochester contribute and less than one-fifth what Yonkers provides – that still amounts to more than $62 million. That's more than petty cash, and city residents need municipal involvement in this issue.
The mayor can point to one initiative: a summer reading program that involves 1,000 of the city's 33,000 students.
The main point, of course, is the education of Buffalo's students, who have long been deprived of the "sound, basic education" to which the state constitution entitles them. That is mainly the task of the School Board, the superintendent and her principals and teachers. Still, Brown might profitably take an interest there.
More compelling is the role that education plays in improving the city economy. As long as Buffalo's school system is under-performing, few families will want to move in and some will want to move out. A functioning school district – one that parents feel confident is giving their children the start they need to succeed in later years – is critical to attracting families and businesses, both of which pay city taxes.
Brown is not alone among mayors in maintaining a distance from the problems of education, but some of them are leading the way.
Syracuse Mayor Stephanie Miner interviewed the finalists for school superintendent during last year's search. Two years ago Robert Duffy, then the mayor of Rochester and now the state's lieutenant governor, unsuccessfully pushed for mayoral control of the city schools.
And Albany Mayor Jerry Jennings is blunt about the issue: "I don't have time to run the schools," he said in a video online, "but I do think that it's important that any mayor in any city is part of what's going on in the schools. I talk to mayors across the country, and their biggest challenge is, 'OK, well, how do we maintain or get a higher graduation rate for our kids?' "
That's what Buffalo residents have a right to expect from their leader. It's something to consider during next year's mayoral election.

London's best Sunday lunches
Traditional pub roast? Dim sum? Here's our guide to the capital's best Sunday lunch spreads
Let the Time Out experts guide you through the best Sunday lunches in London – from traditional roasts in London's best pubs to Chinese dim sum and modern French cooking. Think we've missed a great place to have Sunday lunch? Let us know in the comment box below.
The best Sunday lunches in central London
Dean Street Townhouse
Dean Street Townhouse has the feel of a private members' club, but the menu of your favourite British auntie – where else could you get mince and tatties in Soho? On Sundays, there's a two- or three-course 'set roast' menu (£24/£28); choose from Hereford beef or Banham chicken (plus roasties, cauliflower cheese and seasonal veg) bookending it with posh soup or salad (beetroot soup; cured salmon; sprouting grains) and classic-with-a-twist puds or a cheese plate.
Sunday lunch served noon-6pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £80.Read more
The Delaunay
The Delaunay is the sibling of The Wolseley, and shares many of its key traits – a strong sense of occasion, smooth service, grand room, retro European menu. There's roast rib of beef with Yorkshire pudding served all day (for a hefty £24.25), but the extensive à la carte menu also lists brunch dishes (eggs every which way) alongside more unusual, and more interesting mittel-European dishes. The schnitzels are excellent, so are the German-style sausages. The menu evokes French salons, the Austro-Hungarian Empire and the Weimar Republic, when grand cafés were the meeting place of Europe's bourgeoisie – so perhaps it's no accident that this is where many of London's intellectuals now choose to lunch on a Sunday.
Sunday lunch served noon-10.30pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £80.Read more
Duke of Wellington
A pub that does proper Sunday roasts with good ales. You'll find the likes of herbed free-range chicken with cheesy leeks (£13), roast pork belly with apple sauce (£14) or 28-day hung, rare roast sirloin with a Yorkshire pud (£15), all served with roasties, greens, carrots and gravy. Or for something that's not a roast, keep it simple with beer-battered cod and chips, or a veggie option like a 'strudel' of goat's cheese and butternut squash. Starters and puds are pubby-with-a-twist – how about smoked salmon with celeriac remoulade or buttermilk fried chicken wings to start, and toffee apple crumble or bread and butter pud with a cherry jam compote to finish. Both of which, naturally, come with custard.
Sunday lunch served noon-2.30pm, then again 6.30-9pm (subject to availability).Read more
Hawksmoor Seven Dials
Finding a decent Sunday roast in the centre of town used to be a difficult mission, wrought with the dangers of greying beef more suited to working the jaw than chewing the fat. Hawksmoor's original branch in Spitalfields already did a brilliant roast, but the newer Seven Dials restaurant is now our choice for a Sunday treat, and is more central. The roast costs £19.50, and there's no choice. Come if you adore beef, full of flavour and cooked to a rosy medium rare; they use rump of Longhorn here, which offers the right amount of beefiness and chew, and it comes charred on the outside and evenly pink throughout. It's accompanied by a massive Yorkshire (to get an idea of size, hold two fists together), iron-rich greens and tender – not mushy – carrots, and we love the addition of half a roasted head of garlic and sweet roasted shallots.
Sunday lunch served noon-9.30pm (subject to availability). Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £70.Read more
The Modern Pantry
If Sunday roast's too conventional for you, consider Modern Pantry. Chef Anna Hansen's known for her creative approach to mixing up flavours and ingredients. Rump of lamb marinated with yoghurt and North African spices might come with grilled aubergine purée; a lemon, cauliflower and coriander cous cous; and a beetroot and sour cherry relish – and that's just one of the more conventional choices. The vegetarian options are always enticing, such as roast courgette, tofu and pea tempura with a spiced soy broth, turmeric pickled grelot onions, confit girolles and a red 'mole' sauce. This style of cooking's not for everyone, but if you fancy something different, you'll certainly find it here. The dining room is large and bright, and in warm weather tables are placed in the cobbled square outside the front of this attractive Georgian building.
Sunday lunch served 11am-4pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £70.Read more
Old Red Cow
A proper pub with a proper Sunday roast, if that's what you're after. Located near Smithfield meat market, the emphasis at the Old Red Cow is – quite fittingly – on meat. Sunday roasts are top-notch, and include free-range half roast chicken (£14.50), stuffed pork belly (£14.50), or a roast shoulder of lamb (£15) – all served with roast potatoes, a Yorkshire pudding, carrots and green beans. There's even a chateaubriand – again with all the trimmings – for two, but be warned, this will set you back £55. The rest of the menu is solid British pub grub – the chicken pie is popular – but with vegetarian options like wild mushroom linguine. The Old Red Cow is also a proper beer-lover's pub, with four hand pumps to keep the real ales flowing and 12 changing keg beers.
Sunday lunch served noon-4pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £55.Read more
Orange Public House & Hotel
In the posh part of Pimlico where it becomes Belgravia, this grand building looks like a gastropub, but deep down it's a smart restaurant wearing mufti. The Sunday roast is equally grand: not only can you choose from the likes of dry-aged beef rib, outdoor-reared pork rack or sage-and-onion-stuffed Suffolk chicken (with all the trimmings, of course), but they'll even do you a whole roast for 4-5 people to share. Just give them 48 hours notice, and gather your very favourite friends.
Sunday lunch served noon-9.15pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £70.Read more
Restaurant at St Paul's
The crypt of St Paul's has been put to good use with this charming all-day café which also serves good Sunday roasts. This translates to roast (rolled-and-stuffed) pork belly or roast sirloin of beef, complete with roasties, a Yorkshire pudding, honey-roasted carrots and spring greens – both cost £17.75. There are usually a couple of non-roast mains, too: black-leg chicken pie, say, or a sun-dried tomato risotto.
Sunday lunch served noon-2.15pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £60Read more
Vinoteca is best-known as a wine bar, but this second branch also serves a good Sunday lunch, and has bookable tables. This being a wine specialist, every roast is listed with the perfect vinous tipple, be it a grand Spanish red to go with the roast topside of Longhorn beef, a crisp South African white to pair with the Middlewhite pork belly and apple sauce, or a bold Austrian red to accompany the pan-roast leg of Elwy Valley lamb. As for the trimmings, they run to duck fat roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, carrot mash, greens and gravy. Not bad for a wine bar, eh?Read more
The best Sunday lunches in north London
Bull & Last
It's oversubscribed and hard to get a table at these days, but this gastropub is a fixture for Hampstead Heath strollers. Between modish starters (octopus with smoked lardo and cow's curd; crispy pig cheek with watermelon pickle) and irresistible puds (peanut butter parfait with roast rum banana; any of the iconic own-made ices) you'll find pimped-up, posh pub grub mains. Think beer-battered haddock and chips (with optional wally), sheep's cheese gnocchi with roast sesame vinaigrette or a classic roast – lamb rump (£20) with braised belly, roast potatoes, purple sprouting broccoli and mint sauce, or sirloin of beef (£21) with more roasties plus carrots, horseradish and – of course – a Yorkshire pud.
Sunday lunch served 12.30-4pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £70.Read more
Venue says: Summer special – 50% off all drinks from 5-7pm. Cocktails, full wine list and craft beers all 50% off.
This upmarket Crouch End restaurant flies the Union Jack for homegrown heritage produce and rare-breed meats. Plating up homely tradition, the splendid Sunday lunch offers succulent smoked Windsor pork loin, 35-day aged Red Sussex beef rib and slow-roasted Blackface lamb – all cooked just so. Besides meaty goodness, it's the supporting cast of mile-high Yorkshire puds, double-fat potatoes and roasted marrow that swing it for us. Veggie sides might include deliciously sweet carottes de sable (sandy carrots), or crunchy spring greens. Families head here for the great cooking, spot-on service, relaxed vibe and supply of high chairs.
Sunday lunch served noon-3.45pm, with some availability 6-9pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £50.Read more
The good news is the Horseshoe – home of the small Camden Town Brewery – keeps its front bar tables reservation-free on Sundays. The bad news is you really have to be here at noon to nab a table if you haven't had the foresight to book the rear dining area. In view of customers, a bustling brigade turns out roasts including roast beef or rotisserie chicken with all the trimmings, while from the designer bar comes bloody marys, sophisticated wines, and draught stout Camden Ink. The farm-to-fork claims aren't just blah-blah, with many ingredients such as the rare breed Red Poll beef deriving from small farms in Suffolk. Start with a large bowl of tomatoey River Exe mussels, finish with British cheeses or Braeburn apple crumble.
Sunday lunch served noon-4.30pm (subject to availability). Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £65.Read more
Junction Tavern
This enduringly popular local is divided in three, with the dark red restaurant and open kitchen on one side a bar room on the other, plus an ample rear conservatory (nicely lit after dark). Spring of 2015 saw the arrival of an exceptionally good chef who has continued the Junction's grand tradition of selling superior Sunday lunches at user-friendly prices. There's a selection of the Med-influenced starters that always populate the daily-changing menus, but most people, unless they're heroically hungry, save their fire for the roasts. Lamb, beef and pork are there every week, and so is a single vegetarian option. Everything comes properly garnished (spuds and at least two vegetable sides) and the portions are very generous. With roasts rarely popping above the £16 mark, you will feel well filled gastronomically but not well drained fiscally. And if you linger long enough, you may have room for dessert, or cheeses from Neals Yard Dairy.
Sunday lunch served noon-5pm, then again 6.30-9.30pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £50.Read more
The Vine
Staff are very welcoming at this revamped Edwardian pub, which has plenty of room whether you want to sit in the capacious restaurant, cheerful bar or outside on the stylish alfresco terrace. The menu packs a punch, with full-flavoured starters (Merguez sausages with cucumber salad; Scottish salmon sashimi with pickled ginger) and more 'trad' puds (sticky toffee pudding with vanilla ice cream) either side of pubby mains (fishcakes, burger, fish and chips). The roasts all come with roasted roots, Yorkshire pud and duck fat roast potatoes – there's Dexter topside of beef (£15), Devon rump of lamb (£16), or Suffolk chicken, which you can have as a half (£14) or a whole 'sharing' version (£26). Vegetarians aren't forgotten – there's a mushroom and nut roast, with the potatoes cooked in olive oil (£14). We can't fault the bar – the interesting range of frequently changing ales is well kept and the wines are good value.
Sunday lunch served noon-9pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £50.Read more
The best Sunday lunches in south London
Tucked away in a quiet residential street north of Clapham Common, this cosy, neighbourhood gastropub lures in the locals for a decent Sunday lunch that isn't fancy, isn't overpriced, and doesn't require dressing up. The emphasis is on Sunday roasts: meaty delights such as a slab of slow-roast pork (£17.50), roast beef (cosying up to a Yorkshire pud, £17.50) or half a roast chicken (£15) come served with the standard sides of roast potatoes, cabbage and root veg. Those with less carnal cravings needn't despair – fish and vegetarian options include hake and chips or pumpkin lasagne. The dessert menu offers robust temptations such as chocolate pot with peanut biscuits, or bread and butter pudding.
Sunday lunch served noon-5pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £40.Read more
Camberwell Arms
The Camberwell Arms serves up a heightened reality of a Sunday roast, such as starters of venison kofte, served with beetroot slaw, or barbecued mussels fragrant with garlic, chilli and lime. For mains, there's roast cod or rabbit, barbecued squid and curried crab. We sampled more traditional fare: whole spit-roast chicken (for two) served on an huge white platter, piled with roast potatoes and vinaigrette-drenched lettuce leaves (delicious), or beef, stacked in thick, pink slices and served with spinach barbecued squid and curried crab. A pared-back, 1940s brasserie aesthetic – aubergine walls, salvaged furniture and stripped floorboards – suits the no-nonsense service.
Sunday lunch served noon-4pm. Sunday lunch for two including drinks and service: around £85.Read more
Canton Arms
Sitting incongruously on a particularly bleak stretch of South Lambeth Road, Canton Arms is an excellent place to while away a Sunday afternoon. The kitchen serves up rustic, meaty dishes which are the essence of contemporary British food, though occasionally with an Italian or French flourish. Fish or meat terrines or warm seasonal salads are the perfect way to whet the palate. Go with a big appetite and share a succulent joint (roast Old Spot pork with gooseberry sauce, roasties and watercress, say), or opt for a lighter risotto or fish (the menu changes daily) and finish with a decadent chocolate pot with cream, or a satisfyingly tart crumble. The pub serves a less-usual selection of real ales such as Skinner's Betty Stogs or Timothy Taylor Golden Best, plus two daily-changing guest ales. Child, baby, and dog-friendly, Canton Arms is popular on weekends and is not the place for a speedy meal. Bookings not taken.
Sunday lunch served noon-4pm. Sunday lunch for two including drinks and service: around £65.Read more
Dog & Fox
As popular with well-heeled locals as a flash sale on Range Rovers, the Dog & Fox's Sunday lunch is everything you'd want from a home-cooked meal, but without the faff. Juicy, pink-middled 21-day aged beef, rare breed roast pork loin or succulent garlic-and-thyme marinated half-chicken come with all the trimmings: crispy roasties, herb-specked root veg, lashings of gravy, and a proper Yorkshire pud as big as a melon. There's even the roast version of a mixed grill – a platter of all three, again with trimmings and that giant Yorkshire. Service is terrific, and being a short stroll from the green spaces of Wimbledon Common (past the stables, with their tell-tale horse manure 'tang'), you can get a taste of country life, but without having to leave a London postcode.
Sunday lunch served noon-5pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £70.Read more
A Crystal Palace institution with a big local following, Joanna's only ever offers one roast, but they make sure it's a goodie. Most of the year, this translates to them serving the highest quality 28-day aged rib of beef they can get their hands on, plus beef gravy, a Yorkshire pud, duck fat roasties, and the best of the seasonal veg, all for £16.75. On really hot, summery days, they might swap the beef for slightly cheaper half roast chicken (breast and leg), this time with salad and fries. Call ahead if you want to be sure.
Sunday lunch served 12.30-5pm (subject to availability). Sunday lunch for two including drinks and service: around £60.Read more
Old Brewery
A Greenwich restaurant with nice outdoor seating, lovely beer and a great Sunday lunch. All the roasts come with Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, roasted carrots, mixed greens and gravy – roast beef also comes with a horseradish sauce (£18.95), roast chicken comes with bread sauce (£17.95) and roast pork with both apple sauce and crackling (£15.95). There's also an excellent children's menu, offering the likes of fish goujons and chips or pigs-in-blankets with mash and gravy, but, best of all, a 'mini roast' of chicken, beef or pork with all the trimmings for only £7.95.
Sunday lunch served noon-4pm (subject to availability). Sunday lunch for two including drinks and service: around £60.Read more
The best Sunday lunches in east London
Carpenter's Arms
Sunday lunch at this bonzer boozer is a relaxed affair – at first. As the afternoon progresses, a couple of low-key locals yield to crowds of swag-carrying Brick Lane marketeers and the mood cranks up from low-key to lively. In keeping with the pub's unpretentious ethos, the food here is more about satisfaction than aspiration. Sunday-specific options are two roasts (sirloin of beef or loin of pork, served with roasties and a Yorkshire pud), or you can order off the main menu. The cooking style is homely, with sweet-baked seasonal veg and red wine onion gravy liberally dispensed. Beef is quality topside correctly served medium; pork is tasty loin. Roasts come in two sizes: the smaller should be plenty, though note that there's only one pudding on offer – chocolate fondant – which is neither large nor a showstopper. There's no booking, and the two small rooms fill up fast.
Sunday lunch served 1-5pm (subject to availability). Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £55.Read more
At one end of Petticoat Lane Market lies the Culpeper: a gastropub that wouldn't look out of place in Shoreditch. Come Sundays, ex-Terroirs head chef Sandy Jarvis focuses on a single roast, a single (meat) alternative, and a veggie option. The roast typically rotates top-notch chicken, pork and lamb (the latter two coming from Ginger Pig in Yorkshire), and comes with roast potatoes and made-to-order Yorkshires, and with lovely greens – rainbow chard, courgettes, French beans, some of these grown on the pub's roof garden.
Sunday lunch served noon-5.45pm (last orders). Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £55.Read more
Galvin La Chapelle
If the Sunday press of people around Brick Lane and Spitalfields gets a bit much, you can always retreat to the cossetting interior and service of this branch of a modern French chain. Look at the 100ft-high vaulted ceiling for an inkling of the building's former life as a parish hall – it's now Grade II-listed. Service is just as smooth and lush, with staff persuasively suggesting drinks, offering another delve into the excellent bread basket, and pointing out the menu's attractions such the Cornish plaice with white borlotti beans, lemon and cockles; or the tranche of calf's liver with Madeira jus. There's usually one 'classic' option – a roast rump of Cumbrian beef, say, served with a Yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes, glazed carrots and fine green beans. Three courses cost a set price of £34.50, and there's a cheaper kids' menu, too. If you're looking for something more casual, the adjoining – but less grand – Café a Vin serves a Sunday lunch at £19 between 11.30am and 3pm. In warmer weather, the Café's large outdoor terrace is a draw.
Sunday lunch served noon-3pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £110.Read more
If you like your Sunday lunches big and bold and your gastropubs more bar than restaurant, this cracking little corner pub near Columbia Road flower market will do you proud. The crowd is fashiony without being deathly cool and the food is straightforward but flavoursome. You can eat Sunday lunch from noon to 4pm and then again from 6pm to 10pm. Several roasts are offered; we tried a well-matured, tasty beef rump and slow-roast belly pork, tender within but a little dry on the outside and sadly not accompanied by the Marksman's epic, softball-sized Yorkshire pud, which, like the roast potatoes, is good and crispy. There are several other main-course choices plus a handful of puds and starters; drinks include three ales and an oversized bloody mary. The corner room isn't large, but table service from a friendly young squad spares you too much squeezing past your fellow diners.
Sunday lunch served noon-4pm and 6-10pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service (two courses): around £55.Read more
The Princess of Shoreditch
NB closed for refurb until first week in October 2015
Sunday lunch is served until 9pm in this handsome pub, and both downstairs bar and upstairs restaurant are packed with a convivial crowd for the full eight hours. Choose from pork rib eye, a poussin and what could be the smoothest beef sirloin in town. All come with seasonal veg (colourful red cabbage, sweet potato mash and broccoli in winter, say), just the right amount of jus and a big, tasty Yorkshire. One disappointment: the roast potatoes were crunch-free and pallid last time we ate here, which was a surprise in a restaurant that generally teases out every last bit of flavour. Roasts (or a fish or vegetarian choice) are bracketed by standard gastropub starters and restaurant-style desserts.
Sunday lunch served noon-9pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £65.Read more
The best Sunday lunches in west London
West London's Cow is known for putting the 'gastro' in gastropub, and blazing an early trail for high quality pub dining. These days, the menu is a mix of Continental and British Isles styles, with a proper sit-down Sunday roast being served in the upstairs dining room. Expect one choice, such as a forerib of beef served with a Yorkshire pud, roasties, carrots and horseradish cream, all yours for £19.
Sunday lunch served 12.30-4pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service (two courses): around £65.Read more
The Crabtree
With its appealing garden, this Thames-side gastropub remains a firm summer favourite. But as the days grow chilly, the all-day roasts – with fresh joints cooked from scratch several times throughout service so that your cut is juicy regardless of when you order – become the main draw. Whether you opt for rump of beef (£15.75); lemon and thyme chicken (£14.50); or pork belly with apple sauce (£14.75); your plate will come piled high with roasties, a Yorkshire pud, seasonal veg and red wine gravy. They go out of their way to get enough joints in, so rarely run out, but can't guarantee it – so don't leave it till 8pm if you can't cope with disappointment.
Sunday lunch served noon-9pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service (two courses): around £60.Read more
Dock Kitchen
Don't expect to find the traditional Sunday lunch at Dock Kitchen, as chef Stevie Parle likes to use international influences in his eclectic dishes. The menu roams the Middle East, North Africa and the Med – on any given day you might find rabbit tashreeb (an Iraqi stew), sea bass baked in chermoula (a North African marinade), or clams baked with ham and rosemary in fino sherry. Don't be shy to ask for explanations regarding the menu's less-familiar culinary terms, as there are plenty of them. The weekly-changing menu usually offers one roast meat dish to share (such a giant T-bone), as well as one vegetarian option, such as vegetable mezze.
Sunday lunch served noon-3.30pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £50.Read more
If being cooped up in a dark room isn't how you want to spend Sunday lunchtime, Eelbrook may be the answer. The white dining room is light-filled, with floor-length glass doors leading onto an alfresco terrace overlooking Eel Brook Common. Boring roasts are also off the menu. Instead, there's a sunny Mediterranean menu that might include heritage tomato salad with salted ricotta, raw peas and lovage ahead of harissa-marinated shoulder of lamb with Israeli cous cous and tahini yoghurt, and wild blackberry parfait and honeycomb to finish.
Sunday lunch served 12.30-4pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £65.Read more
Harwood Arms
This terrific gastropub is the worst-kept secret in Fulham. It serves dishes that are far beyond the standard of any other pub in west London, and even trounces many far more expensive restaurants. As a result, you need to book well in advance – at least one week for Sunday lunch. But it's worth it: if you manage to bag a spot, you're in for a treat that reminds you just how good simple, classic British cooking can be. The Harwood Arms dishes up heavyweight Sunday roasts – think sirloin of aged belted Galloway beef with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, field mushrooms and smoked bone marrow (£45 for two) – as well as more modish options (roast T-bone of Tamworth pork with wild mushrooms, chicory and smoked onions, or roast Yorkshire grouse with blackcurrant, wild mushrooms, cabbage and bacon). Leave some room for dessert though, as it will be hard to say no to cherry plum jam doughnuts with orange sugar and vanilla cream.
Sunday lunch served noon-9pm (subject to availability). Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £100.Read more
Hereford Road
Try not to be put off by the bare interior of Hereford Road (there's not a single picture on the walls) - Tom Pemberton's British cooking provides all the visual nourishment you'll need. Pemberton worked for the ground-breaking St John Bread & Wine, and the influence of Fergus Henderson is apparent. There's always a roast, usually a forerib of beef with a Yorkshire pud, roast potatoes, roast parsnips and gravy (£16.50), though sometimes they do a roast pork belly (with the same trimmings, only apple sauce instead of gravy), for £14.50. For something more off-beat, the daily-changing main menu offers the likes of grilled mackerel with cucumber and kohlrabi, or pork chop with courgettes and saffron.
Sunday lunch served noon-4pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £60.Read more
Launceston Place
As you'd expect from one of the best-known of the D&D stable, Launceston Place is a slick, well-oiled machine. On Sundays, the roast is completely classic – think dry-aged Herefordshire beef with a Yorkshire pud, seasonal veg and a red wine sauce – with Continental flavours coming from the starters (white polenta 'bonbon' with charred asparagus and lardo) or desserts (cheesecake with gariguette strawberries, pea nougatine and strawberry jus).
Sunday lunch served noon-4pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £100.Read more
Royal China
Royal China is still the place in London to get high-quality, authentic dim sum at a reasonable price. The original branch in Queensway does a roaring trade on a Sunday: the doors open at 11am and there is a queue pretty much from then until 3pm to nab a spot in the bustling dining room. Bookings are not taken. Still, a bit of bustle is what you want in an authentic dim sum restaurant, and Royal China is worth the wait: the food is of reliably high quality, the service efficient, and the newly-renovated dining room quite posh for the price. The classic and well-priced dim sum menu has not changed.
Sunday dim sum served 11am-4.45pm. Sunday lunch for two with drinks and service: around £40.Read more

#Wetherspoons no longer serve Sunday Roast lunch.
One more reason to avoid this chain
They all have names like the Frog and Bucket
Someone should publish a list so we know which pubs to avoid
Now , where's that mint sauce
Rotunda in Kings Place has an amazing selection of sharing roasts with top quality meat. Also love the bottomless Champagne offer and lovely views of Regent's Canal.
I love Rotunda right on Regents Canal. The roasts are consistently good and the meat comes direct from their own farm so the quality is outstanding. The Bloody Marys are the best I've had - the perfect accompaniment to a Sunday Roast
Definitely Rotunda, they have their own farm and on-site butcher. The Roast Beef is amazing!
Relaxed dining by the Regent's Canal at Rotunda in Kings Place is my choice....and in the summer you can sit on the terrace and you'd never believe you are in hectic King's Cross. Great roast beef with usual trimmings, and it works especially well if there's a concert in one the halls. Special place.
The defectors weld in Shepherd's Bush has an awesome Sunday lunch chicken or roast beef. Great portion sizes. Worth checking out
I need a Sunday Lunch venue for 15 people, close to Kings Cross station. It must be elegant and have a carpet, as i cannot hear in a hard floor atmosphere.
The Londesborough, Stoke Newington
Hi everyone - I need a killer... I mean KILLER place for Sunday Roast - crispy potatoes and exceptional food - somewhere between Clapham and Brixton or surrounding... Help please, nothing here has really grabbed me??!
@Georgina L Try the Alma in Wandsworth Town or the Hope in Wandsworth Common, excellent food and lovely atmosphere.
Lovely choices! Hopefully Resident of Paradise Row just by the tube station in Bethnal Green will be on your next list!
A little hidden gem in central London is Clockjack near Piccadilly Circus. It's a rotisserie restaurant and they do the best Sunday Roast ... Way better than all of the overpriced pubs and chain restaurants in the same area. Check it out next time you are central !
Went on Saturday. Awful experience. Rude staff. Bland food and no it's not cheap for what you get. 2/10
The address and booking link for The Rookery in CLAPHAM is wrong!! Beware! Should be: http://www.therookeryclapham.co.uk -- 69, Clapham Common South Side, London, SW4 9DA
Definitely missed out on The Anchor Sw11 in battersea! The woman who cooks is lovely and friendly and I have chatted to her on a couple of occasions when frequenting the establishment! Her absolutely to die for roast consists of goose fat roast potatoes, cabbage with pancetta, carrots soaked and cooked in orange juice, cauliflower cheese, a yorkie and a choice of beef with horseradish, slow roasted pork with crackling and homemade apple sauce or chicken with homemade stuffing! All for around £10-11 it's an absolute bargain and the pub is a very cosy and comforting place to sit on a Sunday afternoon!
I would recommend this place to anyone and everyone and find that wherever else I go for Sunday lunch does not measure up to the quality and standard that the Anchor provides!
Be sure to get there early as word is getting out and last Sunday the place was heaving and I had to reserve my roast!
Very dissapointing experience today after visiting on the strength of this recommendation.
Arrived early (12.30) expecting to wait for a table, pub was dead but no roast available until 2. Figured it'd be worth the wait so had a couple of pints of ale (bitty in the botto).
Beef was tough, Yorkie was an aunt Bessie, roasties were good but not all that crispy, veg consisted of ramikin of frozen peas and a small spoonful of mashed Swede. That's all that was on the plate save for some standard gravy.
No sign of any pancetta cabbage, OJ soaked carrots or cauliflower cheese.
My girlfriend's plate was similarly sparse on the veg front and the pork was very very fatty.
Very disappointing, won't be going back.
DEFINITELY missed out one of the best-kept secrets in SW London - Penny Black on Fulham Road. Hands down the best sunday roast we have ever had. Yorkshire puddings the size of a plate, with everything inside - roasts, veg, cauli cheese, and sirloin or rib that can be cut with a spoon. Amazing
Yes, you've missed the best place for Sunday Lunch in South London; newly opened Cornish Tiger at 1, battersea Rise is doing an amazing one; it only opened this year and are already getting booked out on Sundays.
I went to The Kings Arms in Waterloo which is a great little back street boozer and their Sunday Lunch was really impressive! Loads of meat, perfectly cooked, Yorkshire puds, fresh veg cooked perfectly in a delicious gravy! The potatoes were really crispy too! Going back this weekend! SO good!
Vinoteca is really good.
My Reccomendation would be the New Cross House, funnily enough in New Cross, South East London. Now timing is everything with this little baby. Get there for about midday to 14:00 and you are in for a Roast dinner onlty really rivalled by the Hawksmoor. Get there a little late and you this review will be a lie and quite frankly wrong (No offence New X House, after 14:00 things get a little sloppy) Choice of half a Chicken, Beef, Pork and some kind of vegetarain dish (why vegetarians get a choice I do not know but that is for after dinner talk) Great crispy potatoes a yorkshire the size of a large hamster, not wait,a small guinea pig and veg that even Mrs Charlie Dimmock and the other old fella from the gardening programme would be proud of. All in all a reasonable price and a great choice. The setting is great, either in the indoors bit or the little outdoor shed/barn/wooden area, basically go and have a look and also have a game of Fuseball.
The Londesborough in Stoke Newington does a fantastic Sunday lunch. Roughly £12-14 for a variety of roasts and everything on your plate, so no messing around having to order sides as well. Huge tables in the back room - great for gatherings or toddlers sprinting around.
Really like the Warrington hotel in Madia vale (north London) amazing decor, food an service.
Just try harvey Nichols oxo tower restaurant!
Yes, I know that it must be boring to constantly have to praise it, but how can prepare a list of Sunday lunch venues without mentioning the Anchor and Hope near Waterloo - best Sunday lunch in town and decent beer!
Sarastros restaurant in Drury Lane. Great food, great atmosphere, great service, and live music at 2.30pm every Sunday. When we were there in January, there was a fabulous string quartet, who played and entertained us for 30 minutes, followed by 2 opera singers whose credits from the West End were amazing. They were an absolute joy to listen to and we were invited to participate in some of the story lines of their opera selections (but not to sing!). Would thoroughly recommend to anyone who loves music and good food.
My partner and I love The Masons Arms pub in Battersea. Consistently good food and fantastic staff. We had another superb Sunday lunch there yesterday - a wonderful roast beef with all the trimmings and pumpkin rissotto which was rich and flavourful. I really think it deserves a timeout visit to taste for yourselves!
Had the most epic lunch at the Royal Oak on Columbia road, whole lamb shoulder with all the trimmings for 4 to share... eat upstairs for the best service!!
very poor selection! Misses out the whole of Chiswick and Hammersmith apart from many other areas. Hopeless
Bistrot Bruno Loubet does the best roast sirloin with all the trimmings for just £17.50 so is my Central favourite. The Crooked Well and The Bear in Camberwell get my vote for roasts South - life is too short to spend it in Clapham
Bacchus in Hoxton Street. Superb quality and great, personal service. A real Sunday treat.
Best Roast I've EVER had was at The Depot in Barnes. THE most exquisite rib of beef and gravy to die for. Veg cooked to perfection, all against a delightful river setting with a lovely, calm, family ambience. Doesn't get much better than that.
'The Rose' on the Albert Embankment in Vauxhall does a really great Sunday lunch with a nice atmosphere...
The Paradise in Kensal Green, surely?
calm and clean layout, i miss the overview - general problem of websites

Thank you for posting that. This young woman has an abundance of talent. What a boon for Canadian FS fans. Hats off to Ravi for his assitance in developing this amazing new talent. Her total joy of skating is contagious and she projects beautifully. I expect to see great things from this budding new talent.
No less than the Canadian Olympic Team website has published quite a long article about Kaetlyn Osmond :

This poor girl has a lot to contend with being the only Canadian Female skater there, and trying to get 2 spots for Canada in order to get one of the other promising young skaters Worlds and Olympics next year...........What a challenge she has ahead of her.........This kid seems to have nerves of steel, and a joy of skating rarely seen.............I think she can do it. I sure hope so.
Article on Lance Vipond, Kaetlyn's choreographer: http://www.brantfordexpositor.ca/201...-skaters-moves
A facebook page that Kaetlyn and family members contribute to. Nice articles and a cute video of her winning Juvenile Nationals in 2006.

It's the end of the world as we know it.
Or maybe not.
After all, there are many people in Western New York who are taking the classical Maya – and their supposed prediction of a major conclusion, perhaps that of the world itself Friday, with a brand-new era beginning Saturday – with a grain of salt.
Armageddon? Here?
"Fudgie poo," was the succinct way one Southern Ontario woman, shopping in Buffalo this week, summed up her view.
"The end of the world … in Buffalo is redundant," opined Charles Haupt, a city resident.
Not everyone was so dismissive.
Some people were stocking up on end-of-the-world supplies, such as backpacks, camping gear, knives, water canteens and MRE rations.
"I'm prepared. Are you?" asked Mike Youdsavage, an employee at Uncle Sam's Army Navy Outfitters on Larkin Street. He said that while he isn't sure the Maya were right about the world ending, he still sees some sort of trouble ahead that is worth getting ready for.
"The way I feel is, it's better to be prepared and not need it than to need it and not have it," said Youdsavage, who keeps a "go bag" by his front door.
Meantime, some local business owners saw the Mayan prediction as a potential money-maker.
In Lake View, the owners of J.P.'s Pub on Lakeview Road were planning a Mayan party starting at 8 tonight.
"It's just going to be a party, to get people together for the 'last day,' " said Jane Melisz Coggins, sister of the pub's owner, John Melisz, who was out of town Wednesday. "We do Dyngus Day. We do everything. St. Patrick's Day is probably No. 1 – it has surpassed the Super Bowl.
"It's just another reason to have a party."
All this excitement has to do with Friday's date, according to experts on Mayan culture and history.
According to some calculations, Dec. 21, 2012, marks the end of one great period of time, and Saturday is the beginning of a new era, as measured by the Maya of South America during the classical period of their culture, from about 250 to 900 A.D., said Dr. Walter R.T. Witschey, a professor of anthropology and science education at Longwood University in Virginia.
"We always have doomsayers and end-of-the-world folk with us, looking for these things to latch on to," said Witschey, who has spent years studying the Maya and their culture.
Here's the way the Mayan calendar worked, according to Witschey:
The classical Maya measured time in five long cycles, just as we count time cyclically, measuring it in years. One of these cycles, called the "Long Count," included a measure of time that would read this way: 126.96.36.199.0, which is Friday on their calendar. The Maya marked the end of this Great Count as the day on which that number would turn over, marking the next date as 126.96.36.199.1 – which would be Saturday.
"Both of our cultures – our culture and the Mayan culture – are fascinated by the numbers that end with lots of zeros," said Witschey.
According to some experts on Mayan culture, the end of the Long Count is Friday. Others say the date would be more likely Dec. 23 or 24, or another date relatively close, said Witschey.
He likened the changeover in Mayan terms to what we as modern-day Americans may remember quite vividly: the concern that surrounded the "Y2K" changeover, from 1999 to 2000. But, said Witschey: "The world doesn't end on Dec. 31 – it continues on Jan. 1."
He said that time moves on, through these calendar changes, despite the public hoopla. And the Maya understood that as well, he argued.
In fact, said Witschey, there is no real evidence that the Maya made any connection between the end of the Long Count and any sort of world-ending scenario.
"There were only two places where the Maya wrote down the dates for this week," he said. "Neither of the scripts with the dates says anything about the end of the world at all.
"They were talking about a current ruler ... saying how great he was, and saying, even when we get to the moment at the end of the Long Cycle, he will still be remembered. Doesn't say anything about the end of the world at all."
Many people in Western New York seem to be paying the Mayan doom-and-gloomers little heed.
There was the cheery "Fudgie poo!" of Leona Sheehan of Selkirk, Ont., who was in town shopping earlier this week. "Let's hope [the end of the world] is not before New Year's Eve," she added. "We have lots of champagne to drink."
The folks over at J.P.'s Pub see no reason to let a little practicality throw cold water on their Mayan party. The pub hopes to get a good turnout.

Published September 5, 2013
Over the course of a year, UB faculty member Thomas Bittner visited the Silo City area of Buffalo many times, taking thousands of photographs of about 10 grain silos along the Buffalo River.
Many of those photos are part of an exhibition, "Silo City—a portrait of constancy and change," that opened Aug. 27 in the Hangman Art Gallery in Toronto.
Bittner, associate professor of philosophy, will present an artist's talk on his exhibition during a reception from 2:30-5 p.m. Sept. 8 in the gallery, 756 Queen Street East.
Bittner says the photos in the exhibition document his continuing exploration of these mostly disused silos along a one-mile stretch of the Buffalo River.
He took thousands of atmospheric, reflective and abstract photos from 2012-13 that he presented in two books: "Silo City" (2012) and "Winter in Silo City" (2013). "Winter in Silo City" features panoramic photographs of the grain elevators—many during snow storms—and other aspects of the silos that have an eerie, abstract quality.
View an e-book version of "Winter in Silo City."
"As I came back again and again, I discovered how things change over the course of days, months and seasons but nevertheless remain the change," Bittner says. "It is this interplay of constancy and change that to me reveals the essence of the place. It is this interplay I aimed to capture in the images selected for this exhibition."
The exhibition includes paired photos of the same structures to demonstrate, he says, "how the dominant and stark character of the geometry of the American elevator amplifies subtle differences that arise due to weather and changes in the quality of light."
Other photos document changes in the buildings' reflections in the river. Still others concentrate on the abundance of patters that emerge from the silos' structural details.
The exhibition will run through Sept. 15.
The Hangman gallery is open from 12 to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Sunday.

Richards Guides Midwest USTA Team to Championship
MUNCIE, Ind. - Ball State University head men's tennis coach Bill Richards guided the Central Indiana District 18-and-under boys tennis team to the 2012 USTA/Midwest Section District Team Cup-B18 championship title last weekend in the annual event held in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
"It was a dominating performance by our team as indicated by our match scores," commented Richards. "Our Central Indiana District has been blessed with a lot of talent in recent years. We finished third two years ago, second last year and finally brought the championship trophy back this year. All 10 players contributed and it was true team championship. It is a very physically demanding event playing six dual matches in three days. Our depth allowed us to split playing time and keep our top players fresh for final matches. This is a very significant accomplishment for our District and I am proud to be a part of our success."
The USTA Midwest Section is comprised of 14 districts split among five states; Indiana, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan and Wisconsin. The Central Indiana Team consists of individuals from the central and southern partions of the state, including Muncie and all parts south.
This year's squad featured eight players from Indianapolis, one from Bloomington and one from Floyds Knob which is near Louisville.
Richards, who has been at the helm of the team for the last five years, led the Central Indiana squad to an undefeated record with wins over: North West Ohio (7-0), Northern Michigan (7-0), Western Michigan (6-1), Northern Indiana (7-0), Wisconsin (7-0) and Chicago (6-1).

An explosion at an apartment complex in the Village of Alfred Sunday afternoon resulted in two tenants being taken to the hospital and a massive mobilization of first responders in Allegany County.
Alfred police were still trying to account for all the residents of the Rose Apartments, at 34 Glen St. in the village, following the explosion at about 5:10 p.m.
Two tenants were being treated in area hospitals for non-life threatening injuries.
The Rose Apartments have 40 one-bedroom units.
The Alfred Fire Department responded to the scene, along with firefighters from eight other companies, ambulance units from nine companies, Alfred police, the Allegany County sheriff's office, the state police and Alfred University police.
At 9:30 p.m., the Red Cross set up a shelter at Alfred State College at the request of county emergency management officials, but closed it within an hour when it became apparent it wouldn't be needed, Red Cross spokesman Jay Bonafede said late Sunday.
