Another traditionally feminine medium, porcelain, is the star and possible villain of “Monstrous Beauty: A Feminist Revision of Chinoiserie.” The Metropolitan Museum of Art’s new exhibition (March 25) takes a wary view of its own contents, which span half a millennium, arguing that the West acted out its daydreams of a docile Orient one cup-and-saucer at a time.
Stracciatella Dreams, at Caffè Panna

Aug 1, 2024 | newyorker.com | Shauna Lyon

After a pandemic blip, which spurred the addition of hand-packed pints to the roster, Caffè Panna’s popularity continued to grow—social media loves a towering sundae, and a buzzy collab (Levain Bakery, “Somebody Feed Phil,” the list goes on). Energized by the food scene in Greenpoint, Meyer has opened a new outpost there, big enough, at nearly five thousand square feet, to house an actual ice-cream factory and a seating area.

In early June, when smoke from Canadian wildfires engulfed New York City in an otherworldly orange haze, Clark Hodgin set out to capture the eerie scene, for Carolyn Kormann’s first-person dispatch. Hodgin’s collection of uncannily beautiful images of iconic spots includes one in Central Park, where kids who have taken to the irresistible boulders appear frozen in amber, a cell phone in hand, backpacks and all.
Nowon and Its Legendary Cheeseburger Expand to Bushwick

Sep 28, 2023 | newyorker.com | Shauna Lyon

For Lee, Nowon was hard-won, though rather meteorically. In 2017, the chef, who had cooked his way up the ladder for Floyd Cardoz, Masaharu Morimoto, and Dale Talde, landed an executive-chef position at Hotel 50 Bowery’s Rice & Gold. He hadn’t yet turned thirty. “I was too comfortable,” he told me. “I need to be in the fire.” So he quit, and, in April, 2019, started a pop-up in the East Village’s Black Emperor bar, selling burgers, chopped-cheese rice cakes, fried chicken.
