Good afternoon, everyone.
The biggest news item of the day is that Nvidia’s CEO, Jensen Huang, resigned this morning. My inbox is full of finance reporters asking who will be his replacement, how a $4 trillion company doesn’t have an obvious replacement in mind, and how this man had time to work on top of his affairs.
Second tier news items include Martha Stewart coming to Feed Me’s poker party at Golden Steer last night, Elbow Bread’s Thanksgiving menu (including sweet potato marble cake) launching, and the arrival of Montauk Bay Scallop season.
Today’s newsletter includes: Audrey Gelman’s hotel, The Six Bells, has been hosting media and tech dinners upstate; skincare is being marketed to be used on the plane and at your desk; Liana Satenstein’s clever use of Substack Live; The 2026 New York Panettone Festival lacks women in pastry; we have confirmation of who made the short ribs at Chanel’s dinner last week; Courtney Applebaum’s new showroom; and an upstate diner for sale for less than $2 million.
