If social platforms can be said to have had good old days, it’s when people were still signing up to see if their friends were there, and to figure out why — those early moments when their potential was felt but not yet described. That’s what’s happening now on BeReal, a new platform where people…
It’s reader questions time again! This month I’m responding to emails that may at first seem specific to their senders, but will surely apply to a good share of Where to Eat readers, including where to take a crew with lots of dietary restrictions and how to introduce a 10-year-old to the world of New…
Headliner Ana Bar & Eatery A crowd-pleasing self-service buffet of hot and cold dishes, with an emphasis on vegetable preparations to eat in or take away, is the centerpiece for this casual new dining area on the second level of the Hudson Yards Shops building.

But just because it’s not one of the bigger seasons doesn’t mean brands aren’t bringing their A-game. For Loewe’s pre-fall campaign, creative director Jonathan Anderson assembled a motley crew of Sir Anthony Hopkins,…
People who believe that the ideal side dish with fried potatoes is more fried potatoes can order the vada pao, with oblong potato chips wearing a cloak of batter that fits them like a puffy down jacket. There is, too, a small pile of thumb-size eggplant pakora. If you prefer your vegetables on the end…
My 18-year-old daughter has a strong sense of style, but passionately hates any kind of conventional, commercial, glitzy fashion, and needs a prom dress. She thinks it should be ankle-length and not too clingy. She usually buys her clothes in secondhand stores, or on the street. The hand-me-downs from my own closet, some of them…
The Mexico City Restaurant Serving a Taste of Home In an age obsessed with the elusive notion of authenticity, restaurants love to say that their menus reflect the spirit of their owners’ own kitchens, a comforting, if often disingenuous, claim.

Diana Rigg, as Emma Peel, wore one. So did Britney Spears and nearly every Catwoman from Julie Newmar to Zoë Kravitz. By turns fetishistic and innocent, futuristic and throwback-worthy, the modern-day catsuit came into being when designer John Sutcliffe introduced the style for bikers in the ‘50s.
