Out of Office, BRB

August is a month when everything seems to be on pause. Summer is winding down (cue the salty tears) and everyone is squeezing in those final getaways before the fall frenzy begins.

If you’re feeling anxious about hitting that OOO button, consider this: sometimes you need to slow down before you can speed up!

Ready to take a few days to relax and refocus? Check out these inspirations and soak up what’s left of summer 2023.


 

Ready for a different kind of star gazing this summer? Fotografiska New York, the chic museum housed in the building that almost became the Anna Delvey Foundation, is hosting “Stars." This exhibit is your VIP invitation to take a red-carpet stroll through the lens of legendary celebrity photographer Terry O'Neill.

From Mick Jagger and Brigitte Bardot to the Beatles and Kate Moss, everyone who is anyone was photographed by O’Neill.

You can catch these "Stars"until September 15th - no telescope necessary.

“I’m trying to show them the world I’m in at the time. I just blend in with the group or whoever it is and hope that I’m capturing the world that they live in.” -Terry O’Neill


 

Season 2 of “The Bear” has dropped on Hulu - Yes, Chef!

A delectable dramedy starring the delicious Jeremy Allen White, The New York Times described this show as being “about the curse and blessing of having a calling” – something we can all relate to, am I right? 

If you haven’t already, check out Carmy and the staff as they attempt to evolve from neighborhood sandwich shop to culinary destination for fine dining. Two episodes of note: "Fishes," featuring a chill-worthy performance by Jamie Lee Curtis, and “Forks,” filmed at Ever, the restaurant featured in THE EDIT: May.

This story of elevating a biz is a real roller coaster.


 

Who says you need to travel far for a slice of summer vacation? Why not indulge in the beauty of your own backyard with a staycation – no suitcases (or canceled flights) required.

Google the “top 10 things to do in (your city name here)– if you haven’t been to half of them since elementary school field trips, it’s time to revisit. Or swing by that local hidden gem everyone’s been raving about – just call ahead first, there’s a good chance they might be on vacation, too!

See your surroundings with new eyes as you live the life of a tourist, but tuck into your own bed at night - what could be better?


“It was just X-acto blades and this thing called a waxing machine.” -Tom Eberle, photographer

 

Missing the heyday of printed publications? Step into a time warp with The New York Times recent feature on the history of Paper magazine. Off-beat, inclusive, and very Gen-X, Paper was considered the misfit kid sibling to the Village Voice.

From its scrappy beginnings to breaking the internet with its infamous Kim Kardashian cover 🍑, read a first-hand account from the founders, writers, photographers – and even Cyndi Lauper – about Paper magazine earnings its place in cult pop history.


 

Some like it hot –and Queen Majesty Hot Sauce totally delivers. Made in small batches with no preservatives or sugar in sight, this stuff is delicious on EVERYTHING.
