This live music venue upstate is the hottest place to dance in the woods
On a quiet upstate road between the Catskill mountains and the Hudson River, an unassuming venue is partnering with some of the biggest names in Brooklyn music. With its dark facade and single Coors Light sign blinking in the window, it would be easy to drive past The Tavern without giving it a second glance. Those not in the know would definitely not suspect that the lowkey spot in the middle of the woods was partnering with big local names like Barbès, Sister Midnight and Good Room on a killer lineup this summer. They’d also be pretty surprised upon entering the small building to find a state-of-the-art sound system, bar and dance floor.
Let me tell you—the only mushroom-centric restaurant in NYC isn’t just a gimmick

Exclusive: The Duplex’s upstairs theater will reopen this fall, two years after it is was destroyed by fire
Longtime patrons of the Duplex were gutted two years ago when a roof fire destroyed the venue's upstairs Cabaret Theatre. The Duplex is no ordinary West Village club, after all, but a local institution. From the 1950s through the 1970s, when it was on Grove Street, it was an incubator for such performers as Woody Allen, Barbra Streisand, Joan Rivers, Hal Holbrook and Barry Manilow; in its newer incarnation on Christopher Street, it has helped launch alt-cabaret stars like Cole Escola, Justin Elizabeth Sayre, Molly Pope, Ben Rimalower and Amy Jo Jackson. It was at the Duplex that Sean Hayes's Jack McFarland performed his cabaret show, Just Jack, on Will & Grace; Bowen Yang and Cecily Strong spoofed it on Saturday Night Live.

Chelsea Market is chock-full of exciting culinary destinations—specialty market Buon’Italia, an Economy Candy outpost, Chef Eyal Shani’s fast-casual Miznon—but, now, the West side shopping mall is also home to N’Between, a Japanese-inspired bar “reminiscent of Tokyo’s clandestine speakeasies,” according to an official press release.

It will cost a lot less to take the AirTrain to JFK this summer

Serendipity 3 declares it ‘Hot Dog Summer’ with fully-loaded footlong franks
Sorry, "Rat Boy Summer" and "Saturn Return Girl Summer" and whatever other nonsensical viral trend TikTok drums up this season—it's officially "Hot Dog Summer.” (Or so says wiener lovers like us: we’re devoting an entire week to the meaty tubers right now.)

Katz’s new meal kit continues the NY vs. Chicago rivalry
The culinary rivalry between New York City and Chicago is a long-standing one. Sure, out of the kindness of our hearts, we can begrudgingly admit that a Chicago-style tavern pie is pretty good (we do not recognize deep dish as pizza, sorry not sorry) and we do like the pickily, peppery zippiness of a classic Chicago dog. But this is New York: everything you can do, we can do better. And so, one of NYC’s most iconic and longest-running food institutions, Katz’s Delicatessen, is joining forces with Chicago-born Food Network star Jeff Mauro and his Mauro Provisions for a culinary smackdown between the two food-loving cities.
