Helen, Help Me: Juice Thatâs Worth the Squeeze (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My partner and I moved in together recently, and she was horrified to learn that I cook with bottled citrus juiceâyou know, the little plastic lemons and limes that are on the grocery shelf near the drink mixers. Theyâre easy and convenient, and I donât see what all the fuss is about, when itâs all going to get mixed in with other flavors anyway. Iâve been cooking and making cocktails for her for years, and Iâm pretty sure she never even noticed until we started sharing a fridge.

Consider the Oyster Bar (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Lately, I have been considering the oyster. It’s a creature whose life, as M. F. K. Fisher so indelibly put it, is “dreadful but exciting,” and whose arc of birth, existence, death, and consumption have proved to be fertile terrain for humanistic contemplation.

A Greenwich Village Dining Room That Feels Far from the TikToking Crowd (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Every inch of Somssi is charming: the lace curtains, the vintage baking tins repurposed as wall sconces, the plant-store potted greenery, the mismatched wooden chairs clustered around mismatched wooden tables. It’s the kind of charm that could tip, in less careful hands, into hospitality kitsch—all warmth, no substance. But it would be a mistake to dismiss Somssi’s appeal as mere superficial loveliness: there’s real muscle beneath all the gentility and sweetness, a brawny, almost radical confide
