Broadway fans and history buffs alike may be interested in a document that just came up for sale. The Raab Collection is offering up a rare copy of George Washington’s 1793 Rules of Neutrality signed by Alexander Hamilton, who helped draft the document.

For all the props Alex Stupak receives as the chef behind New York’s Empellón mini-empire, the city can still be a tough environment for him. After opening the nominally “new American” Mischa in April 2023, he had to close the restaurant less than a year later—despite (or perhaps because of) the hubbub surrounding the $29 hot dog. Mischa’s quick shutdown hasn’t scared away Stupak, though: He just debuted two spots at the newly opened Manner hotel in Soho.
