On Thursday evening, Mayor Eric Adams walked into a dining room at Gracie Mansion wearing a bright red blazer with polka-dot elbow patches. “I just love this color,” he said, continuing, “I just pick out of the closet whatever my mood is.” (He didn’t know where he got the jacket from.) Mr. Adams was co-hosting…
Backstage at Christian Siriano’s spring/summer 2024 show, the general atmosphere is electric. Nay, romantic. Held at the iconic Pierre Hotel in New York City, a relic of gilded glory, the floor-to-ceiling murals and elaborate moldings are far from the most opulent items in your line of sight. The venue is no accident: Siriano’s ballet-inspired collection…
This week, I found myself breathlessly refreshing TikTok and Twitter — still not ready to call it X, sorry — for the latest updates in the saga of the Tabi Swiper. The story goes like this: After a second date, a man named Josh went home with a woman named Alexis Dougé for the evening.…
Food memories can sometimes run backward, to a moment when we first experienced entirely new sensations. This is not that story. In the summer of 2010, I worked at Pies ‘n’ Thighs, a Brooklyn restaurant focused on classic Southern comfort foods.

Growing up in South Philadelphia, Quil Lemons first trained his lens on family and friends, his photographs of cousins and neighbors snaring the art world’s attention. By the time he was 20, he was focusing on young Black men as the subjects of “Glitterboy,” a series that highlighted, as its title suggests, adolescents slathered in…
Hello, all. This is Emily, the editor in chief of Cooking and Food at The New York Times, and I’m here today to talk about my favorite member of the Parm family: chicken Parmesan (above). My heart sings when a bubbling pan of chicken Parm emerges from the oven, the plush cutlets submerged in rust-red…
Did you know that on most airplanes, you can raise the armrest nearest to the aisle — the one that always seems locked in place — by pressing a tiny pin underneath, right next to the seat back? This little move has helped me wrestle my bag out of the overhead bin many times. Do…
Steven Meisel is an enigma to many. First and foremost, he’s a fashion god, as one of the premier photographers in the industry with a career spanning over 30 years. Considering he’s worked with virtually every publication, designer, and brand you could possibly imagine, you’ve likely seen his work, even if you don’t know it.…
