Over the past few years, Chika Hanyu has built up a cult following entirely by word of mouth, all while making extraordinary cream puffs, canelés, and cakes out of a ghost kitchen in Sunnyside, Queens. Check out my latest piece for @eater.bsky.social. ny.eater.com/dining-out-i...

I said goodbye to a lot of things this past summer, among them my favorite bar in New York. I wrote about letting go, a thing I am fundamentally bad at and do not like one little bit. Shoutout to the wonderful folks at @offassignment.bsky.social www.offassignment.com/gttp/diana-h...

Today, Labor Day stands for little more than summer’s end, sales, and maybe a barbecue. But it was originally meant to honor both the individual worker and what workers accomplish together through activism and organizing, Chad Broughton wrote in 2014. https://theatln.tc/AIcURZrb

They say phones only make us miserable but I just got this news alert and laughed for a solid minute so who is to say

This is not a joke: I’ve started opening my drafts with “The woman wondered what she had gotten herself into” and writing about whatever from there, and it’s honestly been nuking my writer’s block

Absolutely obsessed with our latest guide to Hong Kong, in which you'll find a "soy sauce Western" joint, a bakery that's been churning out crackly-topped pineapple buns since 1943, and the workshop of one of the last craftsmen producing Hong Kong's neon signs. www.atlasobscura.com/itineraries/...
