Today’s letter includes:
A pasta poem in Park Slope
A mother-powered meal delivery service worth bookmarking

A discounted day trip to a Hudson Valley art center
NYC's newest classic restaurant spotlight
From the folks behind Have & Meyer and Terre, this new pasta den in a sleepy part of Park Slope is turning out dishes like pheasant agnolotti in arrosto sauce and rigatoni with beetroot and horseradish. It’s tiny, personal, and full of poetic dish names (and probably a few people whispering “this should’ve been in Fort Greene”).

One of NYC’s most recognizable pizza brands is hosting a pop-up this Sunday (12–7p) at its Bushwick HQ. Come for the ceramics, jewelry, florals, woodwork, and exclusive Roberta’s merch. Stay for the pie. Entry is free.

The cult kitchenware and hosting shop now has a bar. Greenpoint’s Big Night just reopened its newly expanded space complete with a mural, new fixtures, and soon, a backyard. Shopping while sipping—approved.

Every restaurant critic secretly respects Hillstone. The chain that became a staple of power lunchers, martini lovers, and people who want to eat a $28 salad in peace. The Hillstone effect—perfect lighting, rock-solid service, and a menu that rarely changes—is so strong it has shaped the DNA of restaurants all over New York. If you’ve ever wondered why a Caesar salad suddenly costs $19 at a midtown brasserie, this is the origin story.

My current culinary ick? Restaurants coasting on a burger. More and more “buzzy” spots are building an entire reputation off one dish—and let’s be real, it’s usually just a burger.
Our friends at The Infatuation said it best: Is the restaurant actually good, or does it just serve a burger?
Current: “TEXAS HOLD ’EM” by Beyoncé – the line-dancing renaissance continues, and I am absolutely here for it.
Italian Disco Classic: “Spacer Woman” by Charlie – eerie, sexy, spacey… perfect for walking too fast through SoHo in sunglasses.
