Hello everyone. The best thing I ate all weekend was a burger from Rollo Dairy Bar. I spent a weekend in Hudson with my friends from high school and my hair still smells like the bonfire we sat in front of for a few hours last night. I’m going to Los Angeles tomorrow, and if you want to be one of the first people to buy one of the new Feed Me hats, you can come to Café Telegrama on Wednesday or Thursday.
Today’s letter includes: Why your summer house in East Hampton probably isn’t happening next year, a new coworking space in Chinatown, a podcast-focused members’ club coming to Dimes Square, and the latest celebrity Substack adopter.
Latest jobs on the Feed Me Job Board include: Global Social Media Manager at Sotheby’s, VP of eCommerce at Dose, and Executive Creative Director at The Keva Dine Agency.
For our next Guest Lecture, we’re interviewing Alison Roman! Her fourth cookbook, Something from Nothing, is out November 11.
Paid readers can ask her anything about her new sauce brand (which sold out in hours), how the new book came together, or why she’ll never open a shoppy shop.
In the upcoming issue of New York Magazine, Katie Roiphe and Isobel Lola Brown have a piece about Angelicism, a Substack that describes itself as “theoretical gossip of the 2020s.” Roiphe hasn’t written for New York in years, and Angelicism hasn’t posted since September, so I’m curious what the story about the writer’s “young disciples” will teach us.
Summer 2026 in East Hampton isn’t looking so promising. I wrote previously about new restrictions on Airbnbs and other short-term rentals in the area (homeowners can rent their places for two stays of no more than 14 days every six months). Now, according to The Real Deal, East Hampton is preparing to intensify enforcement efforts by looking into “software that can track and flag unregistered rentals.”
