Good morning. There’s a famous New York City dream where you discover an extra room in your apartment and it changes your life, at least until you get used to having the space. I experienced a version of that in my waking life recently. I arose early, showered, got dressed and made to head off…
My wonderful colleague Margaux Laskey described this Atlantic Beach pie to me as “excellent for a beach rental,” and my mind immediately took off: It’s a little past 8 p.m. in Brigantine, N.J.; we’ve tracked in some sand from the beach, but I’ll sweep it up later. Dinner was grilled chicken with tomatoes and corn,…
Spring Fertility, a clinic in Midtown Manhattan, looks like the place where the main characters on “Broad City” would have wound up if the millennial sitcom had done an episode about egg freezing.

In the early 1870s, an émigré painter watched from a railway footbridge as a steam engine left a station on London’s suburban fringe. His name was Camille Pissarro and he was developing a style of plein-air painting that would soon be called “Impressionism.” Pissarro and a fellow émigré, Claude Monet, only stayed in London for…
Good morning. It’s Friday. Today, and on Fridays through the summer, we’ll focus on things to do in New York over the weekend. Diana Rodriguez, the chief executive of Pride Live, which runs the new Stonewall National Monument Visitor Center, pointed to an old-fashioned jukebox. “Go ahead, give it a whirl,” she said.
