Just AddedIf your parents want to experience a bit of DC history outside of tour groups and museums, The Occidental is your spot. Originally opened in 1906 a stone’s throw from the White House, generations of presidents, senators, and journalists have flocked here to make history, or drink their way out of it. (The end of the Cuban Missile Crisis was sparked here over a plate of pork chops.) Order the beef stroganoff and let your dad pretend he's a Cold War diplomat.

Earlier this year, I found myself enthralled by an impromptu rewatch of Mad Men—the seductive period drama about the golden age of advertising during the 1960s that concluded its seven-season run almost exactly 10 years ago, on May 17, 2015.

It’s a ferociously windy afternoon in late March. I’m navigating the National Mall in Washington, D.C., unsuccessfully battling the breeze for control of my wool scarf. I veer right, toward the Smithsonian National Museum of American History. There, nestled on the third floor, I walk into an exhibition titled “Entertainment Nation,” which opened to the public in December 2022. It’s on display indefinitely and features an estimated 200 objects from key figures and moments in pop culture.

Moving forward I won’t be on this platform as much. It’s not enjoyable anymore and the golden era has passed. I’m using social media much less in general these days, but I’m *slightly* more active on IG. Follow me on there if you want and see you around ✌🏽 https://t.co/CLQGgnuf8Y

I saw the best minds of my generation destroyed by ChatGPT, starving hysterical SEO, dragging legacy blue checks through the AI streets…

I wrote about a new guard of Filipino designers creating gorgeous garments and helping brides more deeply connect with their heritage through fashion. More in my latest for @nytimes! https://t.co/xvZe361nz2
