I should mention at the outset a few things about this menu. First, it’s light, fresh, cool, elegant — meant for beating the heat — with the flavor-enhancing help of some familiar Japanese ingredients. It’s also a bit of a splurge: You’ll need to shell out for seafood and invest a certain amount of effort…
Michael Foote was at dinner with three friends at Soothr, a Thai restaurant in the East Village of Manhattan, when he looked up and noticed he was the only one eating. “We had all ordered all this food, and we were all sharing everything,” he said, “but I was chowing down, and my friends were…
On a rainy Saturday last month, I sat down in a salon chair and made peace with the fact that I’d be there some six-plus hours. Such is the reality of a brunette desperate to have a bit of blonde fun. Finally, it was time for the blowout. I always ask for big, voluminous hair,…

And that includes…
Writing this newsletter is easier some weeks than others. Inspiration minds no schedule. Often it strikes me on the subway, where I’ll hammer out a few paragraphs in my Notes app, or in the shower, where I’ll reach for my phone perched on the sink ledge and dictate a flurry of one-liners into the Voice…

Being entertained while eating something exciting is almost an embarrassment of riches, almost too much. Almost.
