Top of the Aughts: Platt: New York Dining Finally Found an Identity in the Aughts
In one of the first in what will be a month of end of the decade retrospectives across the internet, Adam Platt looks back on the aughts and decides it was decade where New York’s dining world really came into its own.

There’s plenty of elevated comfort food on the menu…The technique is still top-notch, and the influences…come from around the world

How ’stuff’ works in Beijing: It seems you’re a racist if you don’t buy it
- Times must be tough for the dealers in Sanlitun given the new marketing tactic a few of them have tried on me of late. Normally, you hear a mumbled “Hey bro, want some stuff?“, walk past, and that’s that. But recently, the spiel — already annoying but thankfully short – took a twist
