I’ve just started a new job where I’ll be editing a (forthcoming) Substack newsletter about the unexpected, overlooked or unconventional influences of the art market. I also write a newsletter called Beautiful Gowns, about the intersection of art and style (with some London scene reporting) <3333
Congrats on speaking at the FIT gala. I'm also a grad from way back yonder, way more yonder than you 😊 and can say I LOVED my time there. It really helped shape me and gave me a good old back bone. I think schools like FIT are often thought of as "less than" in many circles, which is a shame. That creative environment in the middle of NYC kicked my ass in the best possible way.
Nutbar is owned by the sister of the Othership founder — their rises kind of parallel each other and tbh I’m surprised they didn’t open in NYC before the sauna did
That said, their super coffee and super matchas are incredibleee and they make their own nut milk (“bar milk”) which I think they sell frozen at local TO groceries now!
The NASDAQ hitting an 11-day winning streak while everyone is still debating whether we're in a bubble is the kind of tension that makes this era so interesting (terrifying) to watch.
Nutbar.. elite $20 smoothies and $10 coffees. Super good and super clean… sunlife organics adjacent, but the energy at SLO (in nyc at least) is incredibly bad imo… I’m curious to see how NB handles marketing. which makes me think about another Toronto transplant: Impact kitchen that opened in flatiron. Also incredibly clean and thoughtful. I met the owners recently at the bar at Balthazar. They said opening shop in nyc was most difficult in a way they didn’t anticipate: ppl in Toronto know the brand and are actively seeking it out as an employer aligned w their values/interests. In nyc staffing is a struggle because people are just signing up for what they think is another quick service slop bowl, they have zero brand knowledge or loyalty. And so turnover and quality of staff is inconsistent. Thought that was interesting
Responding to “Finally, while we’re here, what other art writers/newsletters have you been enjoying?” Arts adjacent this answer but, and, fine art critic and curator Jarrett Earnest’s podcast Private Life for The New York Review of Books is a couple months launched, just ten episodes so far, a kind of picnic through the NYRB archives, just exquisite material chicly and sophisticatedly rendered with writers such as Joyce Carol Oates discussing Joan Didion, actress Kathleen Chalfant reading Elizabeth Hardwick’s NYRB classic essay “Working Girls: The Brontës” Richard Hell reading from Godlike, literary editor and author Darryl Pinckney discussing his friendship with Elizabeth Hardwick and Gini Alhadeff reading from André Breton’s “Nadja”
Really excited to see Anne Hathaway in Yesteryear.
