The Journey, which Lee débuted earlier this year, on Thursday evenings only, is something of a return to form for the chef. Before opening her bakery, she worked in high-end restaurants, including Alain Ducasse’s gilded Le Meurice, in Paris, where she trained under the superstar pastry chef Cédric Grolet; in New York, she reinvented the…

I was eight, and through my bedroom wall I could hear my mother, Heidi, talking to herself as she prepared to go to sleep. Every night, in the living room, she positioned old magazines beneath the legs of a red convertible sofa, so as not to crease the rug it rested on. Then, with audible…

Read MoreWhat “The Sheep Detectives” Doesn’t Understand About Sheep

Everyone knows there’s something kind of funny about country music. The genre’s cultural identity is linked to a stylized and unapologetically old-fashioned vision of America, which can seem rather hokey. In 1975, the legendary country singer and songwriter David Allan Coe released his version of “You Never Even Called Me by My Name,” a sardonic…

In beauty and luxury, experience has always been everything. It lives in the ritual of application, the texture of a cream, the atmosphere of a counter, the expertise of a consultant. Yet online, that richness is too often reduced to a handful of images, a product description and a price. It’s a format that feels…
Read MoreDo We Think Too Much About the Future?

First, since no one actually knows the future, guessing, speculating, or simply making things up remains the state of the art for almost everyone involved in describing it. (Prediction markets, the biggest recent innovation in forecasting, are based on the recognition that experts are often wrong.) And second,…
