If you can get a rez at Trivoli tavern and don’t mind spending a few bucks, it’s probably the coolest restaurant in the city right now

It’s aesthetically really cool but the menu is all over the place and the food was average at best

Did the omakase at Kai Zan recently and second generation last night which I really enjoyed. Otherwise tzuco, dear Margaret, and Kasama are favs (not the tasting at Kasama though)

Second this, insanely great meal

I'm absolutely in love with Weber Grill.
It's not "fancy" but my god charcoal grilled meat had NO competition 🤤
Just took my Mom there a couple weeks ago and I'm not sure I'll ever be able to get her to eat anywhere else ever again 😂😂😂

In honor of National Voter Registration Day, The New Yorker released the transcript of a previously unpublished interview with James Baldwin, who gave a first-hand account of "Freedom Day 1963," a Black voter-registration drive in Selma, Alabama.

Found a random engagement ring.

Hi all, so I found a platinum ring (which I assumed it's an engagement ring as it has dates and initials engraved on top.) And a Divvy tag (I have no idea what it was until I googled it. Apparently it's a bike sharing service in Chicago) in a briefcase I ordered online. I was thinking of returning the item back to the store but that wouldn't help the person who lost the ring. Attached is a picture of them.

What should I do now?
