Competition breeds the best. If only one pizzeria existed in New York, of course, there’d be no real winning slice. Thankfully, we’ll never know what that sorry situation tastes like, since pizza—like dance parties, dog runs, and fried chicken—has to evolve upward here.
Food
New York staples, should-be New-York staples, southern breakfasts, English brunches, and more great stuff to eat.
Services
You've got questions. Where can I get this shirt monogrammed? How do I fix this antique furniture without ruining it? We've got answers.
Shopping
Vintage jewelry, starter furniture, high-fashion sportswear, and other ways to improve wall to wall and head to toe.
Nightlife
The secret clubs and back-room deli-slash-dive-bars where the city's most enjoyable carousing goes down.
Beauty
Physical self-improvement methods both conventional and creative, from yoga and fusion to "lymphatic drainage" and "manscaping."
Kids
Sophisticated maternity clothes, kid-tested play spaces, and other necessities for parents and those being parented.
