Whether you’re a farmers market regular or just dipping a toe into seasonal shopping, we’ve got you covered. From smart storage tips to must-buy produce picks (yes, beyond donuts), here’s everything you need to know to make the most of your haul.
It’s no secret that I have a sweet tooth, so it makes perfect sense that I’d jump at the chance to go to a brand new mochi-centered dessert shop in the East Village when I saw it pop up on my feed. Mochi in its truest form as a Japanese sticky rice cake is delicious, but walk around New York City and you’ll find everything from mochi donuts to mochi cake slices. It's not new to the American market, and it's definitely outlived the trend cycle to become a mainstay in both American and Japanese dessert culture.
More of us are entertaining at home—whether it’s a quick weeknight pasta with friends or a full-blown garden soirée—and that means our dining spaces are getting a little extra attention. While I’ve previously reported that formal dining rooms are shrinking to make space for open kitchens, they’re not disappearing entirely. In fact, they’re evolving.
Designers are seeing a shift toward warmer, more layered spaces that mix old and new, and make you want to linger long after the dishes are cleared. The dining room is having a quiet glow-up—and it’s not just about dramatic lighting or maximalist tablescapes. It’s about comfort, character, and (maybe most importantly) chairs you actually want to sit in.
