13 Dishes You Should Eat to Understand Food
How to Be Cultured Menu Food “I wanted to consider all the flavors and textures in the world,” says Mishan. “There’s nothing on my list below from France, for example. Instead, I was thinking, ‘What does it mean to really know food, and the ways in which people have eaten over time?’” “This dish combines something that might go unnoticed — porridge, a staple we don’t typically single out — with smoked reindeer heart, an Indigenous food that’s essential to the lives of people in the Arctic.

The Man Behind Ferrari's Fashion Line on What Fuels His Designs Original
A few months ago, I brought the Ferrari creative team to Lago di Monate (1) outside of Milan to brainstorm the next fashion show. But we weren't just putting together mood boards; we were sharing personal stories. My father, Giuseppe, who owned a cereal producing company, taught me the importance of giving and receiving love.

Whether your dad is into backpacking, fishing or forest bathing, he could probably use a few upgrades for his campfire cooking.

Pet Beds That Might Be Nicer Than Your Own
The Wrightsman Galleries at the Metropolitan Museum of Art are full of the gilded furniture and ornate chandeliers that typify the decorative arts of 17th- and 18th-century France. Wandering the rooms as a child, the designer Adam Charlap Hyman, 34, noticed one piece in particular: a blue velvet-upholstered doghouse — or niche de chien — that belonged to Marie Antoinette. Its arched doorway was gold rimmed, its interior lined with striped silk.

Slowly and Steadily, Snails Have Overtaken the Runway
In an era of expediency, gastropods are oozing into fashion and design — and reminding us that we, too, can take our time. In September, at Prada’s spring 2024 women’s show, models walked between translucent curtains of pink slime that dripped from the ceiling and pooled on the floor. The brand referred to them as “fluid interruptions,” a concept that was echoed in the collection’s flowing organza dresses and fringed skirts.

(Last year’s fair was postponed and happened during a particularly sweltering June.) Glimpsed from crowded sidewalks, the city’s courtyards looked more verdant and welcoming than ever.

T Magazine Toasts Salone del Mobile With Trompe L’Oeil Murals and a Floating House
On Monday evening in Milan, T Magazine hosted its annual party to toast the start of the Salone del Mobile design fair. As usual, guests gathered on the grounds of Villa Necchi Campiglio, the rationalist 1935 home designed by the Italian architect Piero Portaluppi, but this year the property appeared more sprawling than ever. Arranged between the garden’s purple wisteria-covered trellises and beds of sunset-colored poppies were 10-foot-tall paintings on canvas by the Spanish artist Elvira Solana.

Play Pause ClosedCaption Open Share Enter Full Screen Exit Full Screen EDGARTOWN, Mass. — One man is dead and his sibling remains missing after jumping from the bridge made popular by the 1975 film “Jaws” over the weekend in Martha's Vineyard, authorities said.

The North Fork’s Newest Hotel, The Shoals, Is Also Home to a Women-Led Oyster Company
Elizabeth Peeples and Stefanie Bassett had been working in New York City for 17 years—Peeples in interior design, Bassett in advertising—when they decided to move to Long Island’s North Fork and become oyster farmers. The way they tell it, their journey began with a Groupon for a “very boozy shucking class in Greenpoint.” Participants were invited to eat as many oysters as they could shuck. “I did about two,” Bassett says. Now she can shuck 200 in half an hour.
Hikerkind Makes Trail Gear You’ll Want to Wear Everywhere
Chelsea Rizzo didn’t grow up hiking. But faced with a period of discontent while she was living in New York City and working as a stylist, she started seeking out activities that would bring joy. She thought back to her first hike a couple of years before—“I remember it very clearly because I was wearing a shearling jacket and jeans; I was grossly underprepared,” she says—and the feeling of elation she got from the challenge. So she started taking the train upstate alone to try new trails.
Dana Arbib and Tiwa Select Hosted a Design-Week Celebration for “Vetro Alga,” a Seaweed-Inspired Glassware Show
Dana Arbib’s first glassware collection is both a continuation of family history and a reflection of our pandemic-affected moment. The designer visited Venice for the first time in 2020. “As soon as Italian nationals were allowed in, I was like, ‘I’m going’,” she says. “I went and it was empty. There was no one on the street, the water was crystal clear.” (Remember the “nature is healing” videos of canal-swimming dolphins that took over the Internet in the early pandemic days?
Holiday Gift Guide, Part II
Forty years after the gay American writer Edmund White’s “A Boy’s Own Story” was released, the novel has remained relevant not just for its beautiful prose but for its autofictional depictions about the pleasures and challenges that accompany coming of age — and coming out — as a gay person. Now, as the idea of being “out” changes among a younger generation, I’m excited to give folks “A Boy’s Own Story: The Graphic Novel” (available for pre-order now; ships Jan.
The Green-O: A Montana Forest Retreat Where Food and Design Inspire
When the World Health Organization declared a global pandemic back in March 2020, Jessie Royer was among the last people to know. At the time, she was in the wilderness of Alaska, undertaking her 18th Iditarod race. She ended up finishing third, but when she pulled into Nome, “they said, ‘hi, congratulations, but you’ve got to go,’” she remembers. Royer is recounting the surreal experience to me from her sled as eight of her Alaskan huskies pull us through the snow near Montana’s Placid Lake.
At Sky High Farm, Food Justice and Fashion Joyfully Intertwine
When I visited Sky High Farm, about two and a half hours north of New York City in the tree-filled Hudson Valley, the fields were covered in a thin layer of snow that reflected the brilliance of the winter sun. Beehives sat wrapped in black covers that kept their occupants cozy as the sweet smell of hay drifted from the barn, where cows stood together eating lunch.
Falling on My Face-And Further in Love
My boyfriend, Gates, was sullen in the other room, staring at a screen of thermal pants. We had just looked up the weather forecast for our weekend expedition to Maine, planned months ago, and it revealed that Saturday would be a high of six below zero, with a wind chill that would feel more like negative 20. I had been considering my clothing since November, putting essential items on my Christmas list.
The Bride Went Maximalist (And Changed Into Bode for Dancing) at This Lakeside Wedding
Maria Geyman and Evan Seftel first met nearly a decade ago after she moved from the east coast to Portland, Oregon, for graduate school. She was living in a “chaotic yet charming” communal house that Evan had previously inhabited. “We had big family dinners every Sunday with our friends and spent a lot of time together,” Maria remembers. But Evan was working with touring bands at the time, and he soon had to leave Portland; Maria eventually relocated to New York.
Salter House’s New Collection of Daywear Is Cottagecore at Its Best
Anyone who has been searching for comfortable yet structured clothing after months of being way too well-acquainted with a couch will appreciate Salter’s vision. The day dress and dayshirt are roomy but crisp, with cuffs and collars, their full sleeves inspired by Vermeer paintings. The bloomer pants come from a traditional Indian pajama suit cut, which Salter grew up wearing.
What It’s Like to Spend the Night at the New Hotel Within the Gates of Versailles
On the 45-minute drive from Paris to Versailles, a rainy city day gave way to walls of greenery and autumn leaves. My driver was familiar with this trip: Since the hotel group Airelles opened the only place to stay within the palace grounds in June, he had ferried guests to and from it.
