Will I see you tomorrow at Moonburger in Williamsburg? We’ll be celebrating from 2 to 6 PM (maybe longer). There will be burgers (both plant and beef-based), fries, stoner menu specials of the sweet and savory kind, music from DJ Nas Leber, and plenty of highs from our friends at Off hours and 1906 (while supplies last). Come early, or come whenever. I’m just excited to hang out.

I’ve loved Filipino food for as long as I can remember, but I have only ever tried my hand at cooking adobo. (I know there are hundreds and hundreds of variations of the dish—so far my favorite has both coconut milk and chilies.) I can’t wait to change that with chef Woldy Reyes’ new cookbook, In The Kusina. A first-generation Filipino American, Reyes brings a vegetable-forward perspective to the cuisine—there is no meat in his book—that emphasizes flavor, texture, and seasonality. The recipes are broken up into winter, spring, summer, and fall, and the first chapter is exclusively devoted to 35 different sauces, condiments, pickles, and toppings (known as sawsawan in Tagalog) that inform the dishes and can be used to put your own Filipino-inspired spin on any meal of your choice. We’ve also got a Conversation with Reyes in the works, whose backstory and experience, including with cannabis and psychedelics, is genuinely inspiring. Stay tuned for that in the coming weeks.

Suleika Jaouad, one of the most amazing people I know, is back with her latest work, The Book of Alchemy. The writer, artist, and documentary subject’s new book explores the art of journaling and offers insights and wisdom on how to channel creativity into a more inspired life. I’ll be honest, I’m not someone who normally jumps at books that make proxmises of a better experience, but Suleika’s writing and existence has been deeply important to me over the years. Combined with the fact that the book also features essays from the likes of Jia Tolentino, Kiese Laymon, and Esther Perel, and it’s an absolute no-brainer to pre-order now or grab once it’s out on Tuesday.

More than four decades in, Phish finally gets the New Yorker treatment. This may just be the rare band profile that is as satisfying to read for its most devout fans as it is for someone who has never heard of them.

The Met Cloisters’ Plant Sale is back today, April 19th from 10 AM to 3 PM. (Apologies to anyone reading this after the fact, but that’s why we suggest everyone wait with bated breath for our High Praise email every Saturday morning.) If you’ve never been to the Cloisters, this sale of medieval garden-inspired plants is the perfect excuse to check out the Fort Tryon Park museum. And whether or not you attend today, taking an edible and spending a few hours wandering the grounds is an excellent adventure at any point.
