All That Glimmers at Ambassadors Clubhouse
The menu is vast, and somewhat conceptual—dishes are divided, at times, by type (a section for papads and chaat), but then also by size (“bitings,” or finger foods), or by cooking method (baked in the tandoor, grilled over charcoal, crisped up in cast-iron tawa skillets, and so on)—and the food is specifically, celebratorily Punjabi.

Read MoreDeath Cab for Cutie’s Ben Gibbard Resists Stagnation
The lyrical direction of this record intrigued me. You are using language and imagery that could be directed toward another person, but it feels, to my ear, like it’s also you speaking to yourself.

Read MoreThe Stories That TV Tells About Online Sex Work
Much of the emotional potency of the show’s début season came from Levinson’s canny, perhaps even prescient, channelling of Zoomer doomerism. Multiple story lines channelled the anxiety that the internet may be uniquely bad for teen-age girls, who hooked up with suspect men, got catfished, and had their nudes leaked. Even a relatively positive plotline,…

In 2017, the clothing brand Everlane opened its first brick-and-mortar store in Nolita. Right down the block from the former location of the bookstore McNally Jackson, it was a beacon of retail at the time, austere, brightly lit, and installed with shelving that brought to mind a gym locker room at an upscale hotel.
