PUZZLERIA! SLICES: OVER 8!/20 SERVED

Schpuzzle Of The Week:
A brownstone mystery to brainstorm

Name, in four syllables, what you might call a brownstone in a particular neighborhood of a United States metropolis. 
Alter the consonant sound at the beginning of the second syllable and add a consonant sound to its end. 
The result sounds like a medical professional’s asset. 
What is this asset?
Note: The first word in the second sentence of this Schpuzzle my look like “After” but it is “Alter.”

Chart-Topping Hits Appetizer:
Front of the name’s the same

Note: Chuck has struck again!
Puzzleria! is proud to present another excellent conundrum created by Chuck. We extend him our gratitude.
Name a recording artist – first and last names, 11 letters total – whose name appears in the names of two different groups the artist fronted. 
One group had one Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in the 1960’s and the other group had one Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit in the 1970’s. 
Who was the recording artist and what were the hit songs?
Hint: The first three letters of the artist’s first name are the same as the first three letters of the artist’s last name. 

Sartorial Appetizer:
Mannequinslaughter at the Haberdashery!

Place a plural word for specific body parts in front of a general term for one such body part. 
Replace the plural word with a synonym. 
The result is something you might see at a haberdashery. 
What might you see at a haberdashery?

Riffing Off Shortz And Rohrer Slices:
The silence of the monograms

Will Shortz’s February 16th NPR Weekend Edition Sunday puzzle, created by Chris Rohrer of Saint Paul, Minnesota, reads:
What familiar 10-letter word contains a silent B, E, and O – not necessarily in that order. And those three letters don’t have to be consecutive in the word.
Puzzleria!s Riffing Off Shortz Slices read:
ENTREE #1
“Heir to the Throne” Prince Charles, “Honest Abe” Lincoln, and “Goldfinger Bond Buddy” actress Honor Blackman all contain a silent “H” at the beginning of a word in their “titles” or “extended names.” 
Name a puzzle-maker whose first and last names each contain a silent “H” between the beginning and end of each name.
ENTREE #2
Take two letters that are sometimes pronounced the same, like the “G” in “Giraffe” and the “J” “Jackal.” 
What familiar 10-letter word contains not a  “G” or a  “J” but two other such silent letters? 
Hints: Both silent letters are in the second half of the alphabet, and in the second half of the 10-letter word. 
The word literally means “present yourselves” or “Show up!” (That is to say, it is similar to a subpoena.)
ENTREE #3
Levon loved reading the novels and dramas in his comparative literature class, but found the nuances of narrative style among them elusive. 
Take a seven-letter adjective (with a silent third letter) that describes such nuances. 
Insert a “t” within this adjective to form a noun that describes “What You Will,” for example, or “A Novel Without a Name” – two of the books on his reading list.
What are this adjective and noun? 
ENTREE #4
The answer to each of the following clues is a single word. Solve for each. 
There will be one letter that is not pronounced in each answer. 
These six letters, in order, spell a word. What is it?
1. No man, according to a poet (6)
2. Word following Risky or preceding casual (8)
3. Pinkish-orange food  (6)
4. Name associated with a “self-contained” bottle (5)
5. How people swear when they are taking a stand (8)
6. A “dance,” ending in “ing,” in which a rook and king do a “do-si-do” but stop halfway through it (8) 
ENTREE #5
Take a six-letter word in which all letters are pronounced except the last one. 
Removing this last, silent letter leaves a five-letter word in which all letters are pronounced except for the last two. 
(It is almost as if the silent letter had infected its two nearest neighbors with a “dumbness disease” before departing!)
What are these two words?
ENTREE #6
Take a seven-letter adjective that describes a dewlap or wattle. 
Say it aloud, pronouncing one of its letters as you would pronounce the final letter in a synonym for a portable spa. 
The result sounds like an eight-letter word for a certain source of oil.
What are these two words? 

Dessert Menu

Fist, Lap & Dimple Dessert:
Fistfuls of silver and green 

Name a two-word green object that can be hidden within a fist. 
Remove one letter to form two objects, usually silver, that can be hidden within a fist. 
What are these three objects?
