For generations, the name Manischewitz was practically synonymous with kosher foods and wine. No Passover Seder seemed authentic without its square-shaped, ripple-faced matzo and a shot or more of the syrupy Concord grape wine that many find cloying yet nostalgic. And its slogan — “Man, oh Manischewitz” — was broadcast so ubiquitously throughout the years…
The Palmetto Expressway, known locally as “The 826,” which bypasses the center of Miami-Dade County, is about 30 miles long. Decades ago, I was only concerned with the nearly six-mile stretch between the exits for Kendall Drive and West Flagler Street, the highway distance between my home and the home of the man who had…
By any measure, the summer of ’69 was, as the kids say today, “a lot.” June had the Stonewall riots, a landmark moment in the modern gay rights movement. July, the moon landing. August, the grisly Manson murders, followed by the endless mud of Woodstock. These events have been fodder for countless songs, movies, university…

Nothing, especially an outdated rule, should hinder you from rotating the crisp color into your wardrobe year-round. How could you possibly stop, when it’s literally the easiest shade to wear?

A well-seasoned coleslaw is an essential element to barbecue, though the slaw that shows up on your table depends on where you smoke and eat your meat. Dutch immigrants brought coleslaw to the New World in the 1700s, and the name stuck (from the Dutch words “kool” for “cabbage” and “sla” for “salad”). It became…
CHICAGO — Because photographs record a moment that has passed, they are by nature poignant.
