Hiii I wrote a guide to my home and my favorite place in New York, where plastic bags float in the wind and cherry factory juice bleeds onto the sidewalk and you can throw all your biggest worries into the sea www.ft.com/content/cb2d...

New York City has a seaside village: eating and drinking in Red Hook, Brooklyn
The best time to visit Red Hook is the autumn and winter — when it gets quiet, but everything’s open

I'll support the New York and Miami guides, and help expand to more US cities. If there’s something you’d love to write about a great US city, email me. If you work in hospitality in a great US city, email me! And if there’s a guide you wish someone would write: lilahrap@ft.com

Also, cities are the absolute best. There’s so much in them: art, lore, accents, nature, food you have to try in very specific ways, site-specific weirdos. They're my favorite receptacles of culture. ...

I love Globetrotter. In a sea of scroll bait they publish researched, cultured, real ~guides~, in the truest sense. The editors Rebecca & Niki have also built a special haven where writers can catch the local spirit of a place. Writing for them about NYC over the years has been a total joy. ...

The cuisine of the Assyrians - a ppl with no country but millennia of culture and history. This episode is what @financialtimes.com excels at - giving the marginal some meaningful visibility. This Weekend’s “Places of Worship” is equally delightful and fulfilling and including #Armenian monastery

‘He said the biggest downside our brains lose by speeding up videos is the pauses in speech. The edited-out pauses are actually necessary to do the deep thinking that remembering and understanding what you watch requires, Hasson said: “The thinking is done in the gap between the words.“‘

Love this piece. "If hundreds of millions of normal music listeners have decided to trade audio quality for convenience and variety, then fair enough. But what disconcerted me is that I didn’t know that’s what I’d done. I had simply forgotten how much better music used to sound."

This is the best thing on right now in New York. Go to the Met. Nearly 700 employees - guards, cleaners, curators, conservators - have their work on view in a massive exhibit. It's likely the biggest collection of living artists' work in a major museum in the country on.ft.com/4ewTl9R
