5 Rules of Bodega Shopping According to Chef Dale TaldeSkills
Given the passion with which Dale Talde, the two-time Filipino-American Top Chef contender behind four restaurants in Brooklyn, Jersey City, and Miami, talks about bodegas, you’d never guess he didn’t grow up ordering egg, bacon, and cheese on a roll or going on late-night Gatorade runs.

You Need to Try the Other Apple CiderPeople
For the entire month of September, I rented a tiny artists’ cottage in the town of Cornwallville in the Catskills mountains. While I was there, I built a lot of fires, fried up a lot of bacon and eggs, and discovered the usefulness of a metal spatula when one is fixing a batch of pancakes. My clothes smelled like smoke and bacon grease and I loved it. This is what one does in the country, right?

5 Delicious Excuses to Go to Sag Habor Right NowPeople
I have never been to Sag Harbor in the summer. Between Memorial Day and Labor Day, I imagine this tiny village pulls in a tony crowd in white linen and nautical stripes. Perhaps they sit at tables on the sidewalk and drink rosé and slurp oysters! And there is nothing wrong with that. I also love rosé (even in winter), and I am quite fond of nautical stripes. But I quite prefer the reality of this little town in the winter.

The Best Restaurant in New York May Be on Long IslandPeople
According to the annual World’s 50 Best Restaurants List, the best restaurant in the world is in New York: It’s Eleven Madison Park and, if you’re lucky enough to have $295 for dinner — per person, gratuity included, wine pairings not included — I’m pretty sure you would be in for the meal of your life. If, however, you do not have a collective grand to spend for a lavish tasting menu for two, with wine pairings, I have an alternate contender to propose.

Store Review: Campbell Cheese & Grocery in BrooklynGroceries
It’s rare for a specialty food shop to really blow you away—especially in Brooklyn. We’re (blissfully) saturated with fine food stores here. It’s not tricky to find a spot with a well-curated selection of well-crafted cheeses, cured meats, honeys, chocolate, and the like. And so when one shop stands out from the rest, it’s all the more special. I did some perusing the other day at Campbell Cheese & Grocery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn.

In New York, we’re a grass-is-always-greener type people. When it’s hot and sweaty on the train in the summer, people fantasize about cozy, snowy days.

In fashion even, they’re always showing spring collections in the fall. Seasonally, we’re always looking to what’s next, and unfortunately I’m no exception.

Brooklyn Then & NowPeople
The borough depicted in Brooklyn, one of this year’s Oscar contenders for Best Picture, is a nostalgic, blue-collar departure from today’s posh condos flaunting shiny granite kitchens. While 21st-century Brooklyn remains proudly anchored to its deep ethnic roots, it is no longer defined by middle-class families savoring carefree afternoons on brownstone stoops or parish dances (leading, many immigrant women hoped, to a potential suitor).
