NYC Orchid Show
Stop what you’re doing, the NYC Orchid Show is upon us and if you have never been to this—quite frankly fabulous—event, pull yourself together, squash the jealousy you have from not going to the dog show, and literally take some time to stop and smell the flowers. Do a google image search for this and…

Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat on Netflix
I am loving these shorter format documentaries on Netflix, given that I don’t always have time or even the desire to commit to a new 20-episode endeavor. Salt, Fat, Acid, Heat is a new four-part docuseries starring Samin Nosrat, a chef and food writer you’re about to become obsessed with for the way she explores…

The Clockmaker’s Daughter
Are you ready for more page-turning from the author of The Lake House? Obviously. I just finished Kate Morton’s recent novel and if you’re looking for something to keep you company during the remainder of these cold months or toss into your vacation bag, you just found it. All that’s missing is a massive “do…

Skimm This
In general, the news is a lot. It’s impossible to keep up with all of it while living life and having a job and maybe also a social life. So every Monday-Friday, my favorite new podcast, Skimm This, is your 11 minute recap of all the relevant news you need to know about. Rather than feel…

Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier
If you’re a Hitchcock fiend like me, you’ve likely seen the movie version of this book. It’s one of my all-time favorites and Hitchcock’s first big Hollywood success. But as with all things, the book is better—and still an engrossing read even if you’ve already seen the movie. If you’re an audiobook person, it’s been…

Russian Doll
We’re fleeing the cold weather this week so I pre-downloaded Russian Doll on Netflix for the flight. Have you watched it? Created by an all-female team (including Amy Poehler!) I haven’t seen it yet, but it’s been recommended to me multiple times by friends with a variety of tastes, and that’s usually enough to pique my…

To Kill A Mockingbird On Broadway
Ummm….maaaaybeee stop what you’re doing and buy tickets to see To Kill A Mockingbird on Broadway? Right now? Cool. I recently saw this and it’s a must see. Take me seriously here, Aaron Sorkin did a masterful job of reimagining this story for today’s audience. Also Jeff Daniels as Atticus…simply sublime. This is your next…

The Assassination of Gianni Versace
You may have noticed that the miniseries we’ve all been waiting to Netflix has finally arrived on Netflix. The Assassination of Gianni Versace is just so good. Darren Criss as Andrew Cunanan is brilliant, so good in fact that he won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. It’s a…

Mary Poppins Returns
If you can make it through the Mary Poppins Returns trailer without weeping like a toddler, I congratulate you. This extremely welcome sequel stars Emily Blunt, and I’ll be seeing it with my mom (and a box of tissues and Sour Patch Kids) over the holidays. It’s kind of the perfect “see a movie with…

Dinner Party Game: Which Would You Choose?
If you haven’t heard of it, “Which Would You Choose?” is essentially a grown up and totally acceptable-at-a-dinner-party version of Would You Rather. These boxed card game sets are so fun and always just plain genius to have around after dessert. Some of the best memories made at a dinner party have nothing to do…
