I expected Chick-fil-A to be good. It didn't disappoint. Its standard chicken sandwich, a lightly coated breast fillet with little adornment, was meaty and tender, and the bun cradling it couldn't have been fluffier. We need more Chick-fil-A in New York City. (There's just one branch, at New York University.) We need it fast.

"Does fashion trump addiction?"
ITEM: NYT columnist not seeing people at her parties getting drunk anymore, must be a trend.

geez you just reminded me of this article "Redefining the Pajama Hour which annoyed the crap out of me
"Anyone of a certain age who has struggled lately to watch late-night TV knows that to succeed you have to get through the midnight dead zone, when there’s often a six-minute commercial break that feels like eternity. You yawn, you stretch, you weigh the channel clicker in your hand, you decide to “rest your eyes” just for a moment. And then, hours later, you wake yourself with a snort, wondering where on earth you are. It’s like coming back from the dead.
But we remember, fondly, what late-night television was like, and the whole point was that it wasn’t prime time. Getting past that 11:35 barrier was like slipping into a world that was cooler, hipper, more spontaneous."
i HATE writing like this

“That dinner party was almost 10 years ago; it was the last time I saw anyone visibly drunk at a New York party.”
…
On the other hand, I’ve been to a lot of New York parties and I can say with certainty: no, people are in fact still drinking.— a curious reader

I think that article has to be understood as something written by somebody in recovery who is no longer an alcoholic. They have my sympathy as that is a struggle, but it seems to also produce exactly the all-or-nothing stance it purports to describe but actually advocates for.

you are not the kind of guy who would drink like this at this time of the evening. but here you are, and you cannot say that the terrain is entirely unfamiliar, as though the details are crystal clear.

Those “how this famous person spends their Sunday” articles are comedic gold. They’re clearly fiction right?
