New York Gets a Preview of Culinary Month 2026 in Antigua & Barbuda
I recently had the chance to attend the official preview of Culinary Month 2026, hosted by the Antigua & Barbuda Tourism Authority at the prestigious Platform by the James Beard Foundation in New York City. From the moment I stepped inside, I could feel the vibrant flavors and unmistakable love from Antigua radiating throughout the room. This wasn’t just a tasting—it was a warm, spirited invitation into the culture, heritage, and creativity of the islands. The full celebration will take place across Antigua & Barbuda from May 1–31, 2026, offering a month-long immersion into the islands’ rich culinary landscape.
I usually go into tasting menus with low expectations, mostly because I tend to leave them hungry and slightly annoyed at how long they take. So when a friend invited me to try Le Jardinier’s “Flavors of Fall” tasting menu — a six-course experience priced at $225++ per person, with an optional $155++ wine pairing — I showed up curious but definitely skeptical.

When the first Wicked movie premiered a year ago this month, it was everything fans had been waiting for — a larger-than-life cast bringing Oz to the screen in a way only Wicked could.

Last week, The Parliament proved it knows how to give ’em the old Razzle Dazzle as it celebrated its grand opening in true Broadway fashion—paired perfectly with the kickoff of Chicago on Broadway’s 29th Anniversary.
There’s something magical about the holidays when trains choo choo through twinkling winter landscapes, tiny villages come to life, and the spirit of the season fills the city.
A New York Holiday Ritual: Finding Your Tree, Finding Your Joy, and Finding Good Cocktails
There’s something perfectly personal about bringing home a Christmas tree each year. It’s not just an errand, like grabbing overpriced eggs —it’s a ritual and the time to make memories for the holiday season.
The final installment of the Wicked movies is finally flying into theaters on November 21, and my heart simply can’t handle it. They say there’s no rest for the wicked — but there’s also no rest for the marketing teams at every brand enjoying the ride on the Wicked: For Good broom.
Sailing the High Notes: Lisa Lisa, Broadway Stars, and Jefferson Starship Rock The Broadway Bound Kids Benefit
I wasn’t sure what to expect when I arrived at Sony Hall, but the night quickly set sail on a sea of sound and community. Broadway Bound Kids opened with a spirited performance that captured the energy of the evening—a celebration where Broadway flair met yacht rock grooves, all in support of The PATH Fund (Performing Artists That Help) and its youth program, Rockers on the Rise.
The second Wicked movie is upon us, and just like the first, it has reignited New York City’s enduring love affair with the iconic musical. For more than two decades, Wicked has captivated Broadway audiences with its story of friendship, ambition, and the untold tale of the witches of Oz—and the city has embraced it wholeheartedly.
