Gilded City
There’s a corner of the American Wing at the museum where I work that has always been my favorite. It’s the one that highlights John Sloan, William Glackens, George Bellows, George Luks, and the rest of the artists known as The Ashcan School. The corner in question features scenes of city life — crowded thoroughfares…

May Round Up
Oh May, you of the sunshine and storm clouds, with your 85 degree days and 45 degree nights getting us all discombobulated.

Next Year at Churchill
What would you say if I asked you about a horse race held in Kentucky since 1875? What if I told you said race was founded by Meriwether Lewis Clark, Jr., that it was half of the longest continuously contested sporting event in America, and that it was attended by over 100,000 people each year?…

Bless Your Heart, New York: You Still Can’t Make a Mint Julep
We wrote to New York once already, back when we first started this blog, about their difficulty grasping the essence of a cocktail we hold most dear. Given the Derby season, and the city’s seeming inability to follow our instructions, we have decided to issue a reminder. So New York, consider this your second notice.…
