Feed Me (Substack)

Good afternoon, everyone. Today’s newsletter includes: A Feed Me party for paid readers this month, an exclusive on a Substack consulting agency from two former Substack employees, a Poconos hotel with heart-shaped tubs is for sale, WSJ’s new style columnist, the pop star recording her next album at WSA, Blank Street’s co-founder on that big raise, and I’m curious about The Marlton Hotel’s new chef. Feed Me is $80/year or about $1.50/week. The good stuff usually happens behind the paywall.

Good afternoon, everyone. It was a bit overcast for a while here yesterday, so I listened to parts one and two of Amy Odell’s podcast about the Olsen twins and how The Row turned into a billion-dollar business. It was worth paying to get behind the paywall. I drove by Pierre’s in Bridgehampton the other night and wondered what the glowing lights above the overpriced white tablecloth restaurant were. Does someone live above Pierre’s?

Good afternoon, everyone. Today’s newsletter includes: LA residents aren’t happy about Ballerina Farm ice cream coming to town, EMILY DAWN LONG shares more about her new West Coast store, a 15-year-old is running for governor, nightclubs are banning Meta Glasses and those who wear them, Granola (the AI company) made granola (the crunchy yogurt topping), and J Lee on The Grill. Feed Me is $80/year, or about $1.50/week. The good stuff usually happens behind the paywall.

Good afternoon, everyone. Today’s newsletter includes: A New York Times podcast scoop, Kylie Jenner wants to start a newsletter on Substack, Coney Island bachelor parties, Puck’s $250 million valuation, Teddy Kim on strange theatrical marketing, and $5 chicken biscuits. THIS WEEK ON THE FEED ME JOB BOARD: 🎨 Design Director at Interact Brands (whose work includes Gruns, Waterboy, and Dr. Squatch) who will report to the Creative Director.

Good morning, everyone. I probably won’t be the only person re-listening to Dolly Parton’s America this week. All of the posts I read about her last night painted such an angelic, political, strong image of her life and work. And she arrived at her convictions through such a Golden Rule type of kindness. And RIP Tim Curry. I’m due for a Muppet Treasure Island re-watch.

Good afternoon, everyone. I am laser-focused on getting a Honey Deuce Slushy at Gem Home this week. 🍈 Today’s newsletter includes: Emmanuel Macron wants French people to make babies, an Indian restaurant with 12,000 Google Reviews (almost five stars!) comes to New York, I found a great Hamptons facialist, The RealReal’s 2026 resale report, a Palestinian food pop-up in Brooklyn this weekend, SKIMS’s new hire would dress “literally any woman except Kellyanne Conway,” and Taylor Swift shops at DOEN.

Good afternoon, everyone. This weekend, I figured out the best way to spend a rainy Friday night at a summer house by the beach: invite 12 friends over, set up a long table filled with chilly bottles of white wine, text Mo Scariano to come sleepover and cook a clambake for 12 said friends, say a rosary that the rain will end by the time the lobster goes in the pot, and let it rock. You can see the results here.

Good afternoon, everyone. In today’s letter: Chanel has started advertising on Substack, New York Times Cooking hired a familiar face as its new recipe editor, Honey Deuce price index 🍈, Kallmeyer’s new collection could be a book club catalyst, September 10th will be the busiest day in New York City calendars, J Lee on the local Italian restaurant (LIR), and an A24 vet exits after 14 years. Feed Me is $80/year, or about $1.50/week. The good stuff usually happens behind the paywall.

Good afternoon, everyone. Today’s newsletter includes: Salt Hank got a big payday, Teddy Kim, MoMA PS 1’s new café, Carbone’s global expansion plans, Vox’s late-summer layoffs, and an Upper East Side walk-in acne clinic is expanding downtown. Stay Tuned is a Feed Me guest column about film and entertainment, written by Teddy Kim. Last week, I mentioned the upcoming premiere of Lanterns, which is taking over the 9 p.m. ET prestige slot from House of the Dragon for HBO.

Good evening, everyone. There is one man who needs a raise today and that is New York Magazine’s Zach Schiffman. The comment section in his Gowanus Tourism Board video is ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐.
