    Where does one find haddock in NYC?

  2. Not exactly visual arts, but I didn't know where else to put this. Compact, very entertaining show with a lot of history, videos, artifacts and a VR installation that shows you (among other things) a timelapse of a day at Smorgasburg that I found hypnotic. At the end you get a pretzel, a little bag of sugary peanuts, and a packaged halvah bar (I was confused about this last, and confounded by the lack of mustard for the pretzel).

    It's been a while since I visited DUMBO. It looks like Disneyland. And so crowded, OMG.

  3. I mourn Tortaria. This does not look like an adequate replacement.

    Good. Hopefully there's a restroom too.

    Oh, just pee in the communal sink, why are you so fussy.

    Announcing more weekly restaurant reviews from two new critics

    By The New York Times Food Desk

    We have some big restaurant news. Back in June, when we announced that Ligaya Mishan and Tejal Rao would be The New York Times’s chief restaurant critics, some of you may have noticed a bit of an Easter egg. We wrote that in the future we would “be adding brief starred reviews to our coverage, written by trusted Times critic-contributors.” We’re very happy to announce that Mahira Rivers and Ryan Sutton — names likely familiar to in-the-know New York diners — will be our new freelance contributing critics. They will write brief reviews that award stars to New York City restaurants. Their work will appear Tuesdays in the Where to Eat newsletter (subscribe here!), and be gathered monthly on the Times website and in the pages of the newspaper. That means we’ll publish at least four new starred reviews of New York City restaurants each month, and as many as eight, including Ligaya’s longer reviews.

    Restaurant reviewing in New York is synonymous with The Times. In fact, the weekly newspaper restaurant review was introduced by Craig Claiborne in these pages in 1962, with the star ratings following a year later. We have already expanded our restaurant criticism beyond New York, with starred reviews from around the country. But we are also committed, more than ever, to covering the city’s restaurant scene. We’ll be telling you what’s new, what’s most exciting and what’s most delicious. Most important, we’ll be helping you figure out where to spend your restaurant time and money.

    Ryan and Mahira will be key to that. Born in Pakistan and raised in Hong Kong, Mahira Rivers has been a New Yorker since 2008. Her food and restaurant writing has been published in The Times, Food & Wine, New York magazine and Eater. She worked as an anonymous inspector for the Michelin Guides in North America for five years, and also writes a Substack newsletter about New York City’s dessert culture called Sweet City. Ryan Sutton was a restaurant critic with Bloomberg News for eight years before joining Eater as its chief restaurant critic, a title he held for nine years. His work has won awards from the James Beard Foundation and the Association of Food Journalism. Born in Queens and raised on Long Island, he writes The Lo Times, a Substack newsletter covering the New York restaurant scene. The contributing critics will adhere to The Times’s ethics guidelines. And like our other critics, they do not give advance notice when visiting restaurants, they visit multiple times, and they try to reserve tables anonymously. They pay for all their meals, and strive to have the same dining experience that any customer would.
