FOR new york’S latest cover story, features writer Charlotte Klein talked to 57 of the most influential people in media about the industry’s future (“Can the Media Survive?,” October 21–November 3). Understandably, the majority of responses came from journalists, with various parts of the package picked apart not only on X but—sign of the times—in countless newsletters and the reader-chat function Substack and other platforms now provide. One theme: arguing the list of “powerful people” was incomplete because the magazine either missed some who deserved to be considered elite or was misguided in being interested in only the elite viewpoint. Said Marcela E. García of the Boston Globe, “You can’t possibly discuss the future of journalism without Latinos, the second largest racial or ethnic group in the US.” Labor reporter Kim…

MIKE TYSON is running late for dinner. He opens the back door of his guesthouse, his broad frame filling the doorway. His wife, Kiki, looks up as he shuffles over to her in the small kitchen and gives her a kiss. “Am I eating tonight, or am I finished eating?” Tyson asks. She’s sitting on a stool in yoga pants, toweling off her hair. “I got you Nobu,” she says. “What’d you get me?” he asks. “I got you your fish,” she says. “The fish I like?” They’re in the guesthouse because their actual house, a sprawling mansion in Henderson, a residential suburb of Las Vegas, is under construction. Instead of flopping off to a hotel, where fans would flock, they’ve retreated here. Mars, their fluffy goldendoodle, makes his rounds…

DERRICK INGRAM, A WELL-KNOWN Black Lives Matter activist, was hanging out in a private party room at the Soho Grand one night in 2021 when, as he remembers it, a man approached and offered to buy him a drink. Ingram, then 29, tall and muscular, recalls that the man wasn’t really his type—he was “older, short, heavyset,” with a big gap-toothed smile. Ingram declined the drink. “He just wasn’t doing anything for me.” Over the course of the night, Ingram noticed how people were lingering around the man and taking turns speaking to him. “Everybody’s attention was on him in the room,” he says. As the party wound down, the man cut through the crowd to again offer Ingram a drink. This time they had a conversation and Ingram realized…

For a Robust Natural-Wine Selection WINE THERAPY, 171 Elizabeth St.; 212-625-2999; winetherapynyc.com → OWNER Jean-Baptiste Humbert’s tiny shop sells a thoughtful collection of biodynamic, organic, and natural wines. “They do an incredible job of showcasing wines that aren’t just funky for the sake of being funky,” says Emmeline Zhao, a sommelier and partner at nearby restaurants Cora and Figure Eight. She credits Wine Therapy with introducing her to “envelope-pushing” natural-wine-makers in America, like Martha Stoumen. “I’d known about her wines but never really dug into them until I picked…

FOODRESTAURANT REVIEW ONCE AND AGAIN, favor settles onto a certain restaurant, subject to a logic only its own. The diners’ diners, the sport eaters, and the socially fluent suddenly agree that a new place is “It,” and renown gathers like a heat dome. At the moment, Bridges is that place. My phone buzzes with renewed interest from long-lost friends: “Hi my hun!!” a pal freshly returned from Paris texted. “Do you know who to email for bridges resy?” “Oh, it’s a great place for a first date,” a MoMA curator I met out and about told me, “that you want to be seen on.” On two recent visits, I ran into the same food-world stalwart, once with friends and once entertaining a table of 20-something food influencers, one capping his…

INSIDE: An Orthodox mall in Williamsburg / Iron Mike heads to the ring IT WAS THE WEEK BEFORE the election in New York City, and the vibes were acrid. It hadn’t rained in 32 days. There was a fascist rally at Madison Square Garden mere weeks before Mariah Carey’s annual Christmas show. Everyone was acting more insane than usual and seemed to be ambiently mad at one another; even Zoë Kravitz and Channing Tatum folded under the pressure, abruptly breaking up. On the subway, a man told me unprompted that my shoes (normal boots) were indicative of the failings of women in general. It’s true that all American elections are unhappy in their own way, but this one has felt particularly miserable, what with the naked and gleeful encroaching authoritarianism,…

The National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C., is secured by 40-foot bronze doors, each of which weighs 6.5 tons. On Valentine’s Day 2024, around 1 p.m., Donald Zepeda walked the mile there from his Airbnb to throw paint powder on the Constitution of the United States. He was 35. The parts per million of carbon in the atmosphere was 422.99. He had been arrested 20 times for civil disobedience, including the day before, when he and two others sat in the middle of the George Washington Parkway and demanded that President Biden declare a climate emergency. Zepeda had dressed respectfully for the occasion: khakis, plaid button-down, gray anorak, black Vans. When he arrived at the archives, he walked to the bathroom, where he removed a small plastic bag of tempera…

BEST BETS ➸ MOST VACUUM SEALERS take up too much space or have way too many buttons. But a simple sealer can be indispensable for those who want to shop once and then eat for a week (or months on end). Kitchen and dining writer Emma Wartzman frequents the butcher and constantly uses her vacuum sealer to extend the life of the meat she isn’t able to eat that day. To find the best one for a rookie, with a straightforward interface and a workhorse design, Wartzman spoke to professional butchers, homesteaders, and fermenters about their favorites. The Anova Precision Vacuum Sealer Pro ($150) turned out to be the most impressive and was simple to use. The device has just six buttons: one for auto sealing and vacuuming, two to…

RYAN PETERSEN Writer and DJ, Ridgewood You look amazing. I’m working the event, and they dressed everyone who is working the party. There’s also a makeup artist and a person styling the wigs. It’s a full production. How’d you get the gig? My friend is one of the party planners. He hired me and my boyfriend to be gossipers or handlers. The job description is really just to be hot and walk around. It’s the perfect job for me. How has the party been? It’s kind of like a corporate party with a smattering of gay nightlife people in there as well. There are gay drag-queen-porn-star people, but I also met the woman in charge of privacy for Grindr. I finagled getting Grindr Xtra, which is the premium subscription, for…

There’s a New Pasta-for-Kids Joint in Brownstone Brooklyn … Our food editor’s daughter reviews Pasta Night. 575 Vanderbilt Ave., Prospect Heights; pastanightbk.com I DIDN’T LIKE that we had to wait to sit down after we ordered our food. But the picnic table where we sat outside was big and amazing. I like the spaghetti at Cafe Spaghetti more, but the chicken here is better. It was really crispy. The focaccia was too crispy and oily. My favorite part of the restaurant was the bathroom. The walls were all pink and very pretty. We didn’t have dessert because nobody came to take our order. I didn’t like that, but I’m happy we could go and get ice cream instead.” —Charlotte Sytsma, age 6 … And a Power-Pasta Destination in Midtown ……

Did he get a chin implant?’ And I realized the gray hair created an optical illusion that made my chin look thinner. So I dyed it and it went away.

WHEN YOU GET to my age and you’ve been acting this long, you are in full control of your powers,” Emily Watson, 57, tells me over lunch at a swanky London hotel. In person, Watson exudes intellectual intensity and modish English reticence, though there’s a certain mischievous energy of the kind that defined her early performances. Her most recent roles have placed her in positions of great authority: In the upcoming film Small Things Like These (Watson won a Best Supporting Performance prize for it at the Berlin International Film Festival), she plays the Mother Superior of an Irish convent, quietly but powerfully threatening Cillian Murphy lest he release information about its abuse of women. She’ll also star in HBO’s Dune: Prophecy, a prequel series spun off the Denis Villeneuve…

THERE WAS but one gate in the wall surrounding the town. Opening and closing it was the job of the Gatekeeper. The gate, heavy and solid, was reinforced with thick iron slabs nailed vertically and horizontally to it. Despite the gate’s formidable appearance, the Gatekeeper was able to easily open and close it. No one else was allowed to lay a finger on it. The Gatekeeper was a large, sturdy man, devoted to his work. His pointy head was shaved clean, as was his face. Every morning he’d boil water in a large cauldron and carefully shave his head and face with a large, sharp razor. His age was unclear. He was also responsible for blowing the horn every morning and evening to assemble the beasts. He would climb up…
