    Welcome to Open Tab, a weekly roundup of the news, gossip, and stories that have stayed open in my tabs all week. Last time we covered price creep and luxurymaxxing. I think we—and by “we” I mean all of us in the northeast—can agree: Fall is here. There’s a chill in the air. I can feel a great yearning for chili growing somewhere in the pits of my soul. This week, I went to Floradora where I received an order of largest mozzarella sticks I have ever encountered. They were the size of a
