The Best Broadway Shows in San Francisco Right Now
Congratulations San Francisco, you don’t have to make the trip to New York City to have access to top-tier theater. That’s because there are a slew of Broadway (and Broadway hopeful) shows in San Francisco and the Bay Area this summer courtesy of companies like BroadwaySF, ACT and more. And while you’ll still have to head to New York City to see buzzy Broadway shows like Sufjan Stevens’ Illinoise, and you’ll have to wait until early 2025 before Back To The Future The Musical arrives in the city, these nine productions are ready to rock in and around San Francisco this summer.
The Best Places to Eat Pizza in Alexandria
If there’s a great equalizer in the form of food, it is undoubtedly the humble and mighty pizza. Whether dressed up and topped with the most exotic ingredients or dressed down and served in its simplest cheesy form, this savory pie can bring families, friends and, yes, even enemies together. While pizza may have originated in Naples, Italy, it has come a long way during the last several centuries and has found itself in towns and cities across nations. But some of our favorite (and most underrated) pizza can be found in Alexandria, Virginia. To help you on your journey, we’ve rounded up the best local pies you can find in the city.
These Are the Most Affordable Tasting Menus in Chicago
If you have Champagne taste but are on a beer budget, we have great news. A slew of restaurants in the Chicago-area are now offering tasting menus that are significantly less expensive than these coveted experiences used to be. Gone are the days of shelling out $1,000 for an anniversary dinner (though if you try, you can still manage this feat, too). Today, you can order a full tasting menu for $125 or less per person, which is a steal. These eight restaurants offer some of the best.
The 9 Best Steakhouses in Houston
Like barbecue and Tex-Mex, steak is highly sought after in Houston, and for good reason. Texas is rich with cattle ranchers who produce some of the highest-quality beef in the country, and Houston has a plethora of steakhouses that are more than happy to showcase their bounty. Chefs further elevate the experience by sourcing rare and exclusive meats from around the world and creating elegant menus that feature hearty salads, wholly satisfying sides and swoon-worthy desserts. Paired with dynamic wine and cocktail lists, dining out at one of Houston’s top steakhouses makes for an unforgettable experience. Consider this list when you’re looking to splurge on red meat.
New York’s Luxury Watch Thefts Are Part of a Larger Trend
If you’ve been following the news out of New York City, you’re probably aware of a spate of watch thefts that have taken place in Manhattan and Brooklyn. On Monday, Emma Davey at the Brooklyn-based news site Greenpointers reported that a man was robbed of his watch — valued at $10,000 — at gunpoint on a Williamsburg street corner. Davey also noted that this was very similar to a host of similar robberies in the area in which the perpetrators made off with expensive watches and, in a few cases, jewelry.
This Electric Hydrofoil Is Currently Being Tested in New Zealand
Cars, trucks and SUVs aren’t the only kind of electric vehicles making their mark on the landscape right now. In fact, some of the electric vehicles making their way from place to place aren’t doing so on land at all. That isn’t to say that there aren’t some overlaps between the two as well — including a luxury electric vessel developed in conjunction with Maserati. And just as there are high-performance electric vehicles running on roads, their aquatic counterparts are also showing plenty of promise on the water.

Kirin Ichiban Is Getting a New Brewing Partner in the US
Change is afoot for Kirin Ichiban and Kirin Light — the latter of which got high marks in InsideHook’s rankings of light beer — at least for fans of both beers in the United States. And yet this change is also the kind that, if all goes well, will go largely unnoticed by drinkers used to the taste of either or both. New Belgium Brewing recently announced it will take over the production of both beers in the United States from Kirin’s current brewing partner, Anheuser-Busch.
Gap Is Hosting a Huge Linen Sale Right Now
Please note: If you buy through the links in this article, we may earn a small share of the profits. If you happen to live in or are visiting the Northeastern United States, you’ll know that we are in the midst of a violently humid heat-wave. When temperatures reach 90°F, and the air feels like hot lava, the last thing you want to put on is clothing that clings to you. Enter linen. The trusty go-to fabric designed for managing heatwaves with it’s porous fibers and airy fit. Long gone are the days of tight denim shorts and slick t-shirts. We need light, we need soft and we need at least an inch of breathing room between our skin and the fabric.
National Corvette Museum Revists the Day of the Sinkhole
In 2014, the National Corvette Museum experienced the kind of crisis that haunts the nightmares of many a curator. The short version? A sinkhole opened up below the museum, and eight of the Corvettes stored there tumbled down 40 feet. You know that mixture of dread and anticipation you can experience while seeing a rare sports car destroyed in a comedy or action movie? Security camera footage from this collapse offered that same ominous sensation but with the bonus of knowing that what you were seeing did not involve replica vehicles designed for the impact.
100 Miles in a Day: The Western States in Photos
A few minutes after 4 a.m., I began power hiking up the Palisades Tahoe ski resort, following a glittering snake of headlamps in front of me. We were all heading to the same spot, the Escarpment, which sits on the top of the ridge and overlooks Olympic Valley. The climb to get there is stout: three miles and 2,500 vertical feet, but it would put me in the perfect position for sunrise photos as runners passed by.
The Ray-Ban Brand Guide: From Wayfarers to Aviators, Which Style Is Right for You?
Nota bene: If you buy through the links in this article, we may earn a small share of the profits. There are very few brands that can hold a candle to Ray-Ban in terms of iconic status, sunglasses or otherwise. The Rochester-founded sunnies maker is responsible for some of the most recognizable and beloved sunglasses ever made, from the Wayfarer to the Clubmaster. They’ve cropped up in blockbuster movies, bridged the noses of leaders of the free world and generally denote being a total shade-toting badass.
Eggplant Season Is Now. Here’s How to Make the Most of It.
Welcome to our summer produce series. Every week until the end of August, we’re highlighting the most in-season fruit or veggie of the moment, as handpicked by the experts at Natoora. You can learn more about the company and how they work with farmers in our first piece of the series.
Landslides Created a New Beach in California
California has been on the receiving end of a lot of natural disasters recently — including landslides that put the famed Wayfarers Chapel at risk and necessitated it being moved. Those aren’t the only ways in which the landslides have changed the landscape in and around the city of Rancho Palos Verdes, however. There’s also the matter of a beach that didn’t exist at this time last year.
NASCAR Just Unveiled its Prototype Electric Vehicle
Professional auto racing has long been the domain of cars and trucks powered by internal-combustion engines, with Formula 1 cars using over 200 pounds of fuel per race. But not ever racing series has gone that route; there’s also Formula E and the upcoming relaunch of Extreme E as a hydrogen-powered series. With that in mind, you may well have wondered what an existing racing series might look like if it shifted metaphorical gears from gas to electric.
It’s a Good Time to Be Selling Superyachts
In the early days that followed Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, very large boats became a big part of the global political discourse. Specifically, megayachts owned by Russian oligarchs with ties to the Russian government became the target of economic sanctions — and sometimes sabotage. You might think that the ongoing war would have had an impact on the luxury yacht market — but, surprisingly enough, that isn’t necessarily the case.
What’s It Like to Work Out With Leather Pants On?
Earlier this year, Lenny Kravitz turned heads when he uploaded footage of himself working out to social media. That Kravitz is in stellar shape isn’t what was noteworthy about the video; instead, it was that Kravitz was working out while wearing leather pants. There’s plenty of attire that could be deemed “athleisure,” but leather pants, by and large, aren’t generally filed in that category. When you’re an ageless rock star, though, turns out it’s an easier look to pull off.
An Iconic Summer Movie Now Exists in Lego Form
The connection between Legos and blockbuster movies is one that runs deep — to the extent that some keen-eyed observers have been able to piece together plot details of upcoming movies using only their Lego tie-ins. But the blockbusters of tomorrow aren’t the only big-screen entertainment you can assemble at home; the toy company occasionally dips into the well of classic films from yesteryear. And at a time when the 50th anniversary of Jaws is rapidly approaching, it’s not surprising to see a certain shark resurface in the form of plastic bricks.
Edgar Allan Poe’s Most Valuable Book Isn’t What You Might Expect
Edgar Allan Poe’s work has had a massive influence on American letters — and on literature as a whole around the world. His fiction played a big part in the development of both mysteries and horror writing, to say nothing of the mood of Gothic desolation that some of his best work summons. (Which isn’t to say that Poe didn’t have less savory qualities as well.) But if you sought out the most expensive volume of his writing, it wouldn’t be his tales of detective C. Auguste Dupin or his sole novel, The Narrative of Arthur Gordon Pym of Nantucket.
