Food Thyme: Inside The Cardinal Club
- story Rosemary Simon
For a “clandestine dining club,” the Cardinal Club isn’t much of a secret these days (you can read all about it here, here, and here). However, getting a reservation to this secret garden is a whole different story. Back in August, when we found a way to get an advanced peak into the club, the next available reservation was sometime in November, so this seems like the appropriate time to post it. Cardinal Club owner and chef, Simon, was kind enough to let us watch the preparation of one new corn crepe dish from beginning to end, which meant we woke up extra early to follow him around the Union Square farmer’s market to witness his seasonal menu come to life. We highly recommend making a reservation for a special occasion.

Food Thyme: Wild Yaks Graze Slices on Scott’s Pizza Tour
- story Rosemary Simon
We already knew that the grizzled men from Wild Yaks had a fondness for pizza and beer, but when we found out frontman Rob Bryn had pie in his blood (his brother owns Robertas in Bushwick), we decided to invite the entire band out on the ultimate pizza journey—Scott’s Pizza Walking Tour. Suspicious at the first glance of our pizza survival kits, our guide Scott Weiner shepherded us with his pizza facts, diagrams and charts, and ultimately won us over with some bad jokes. As a dude who has traveled the world sampling every species of pizza, eats nearly 32 slices a week, has attempted to climb into a coal burning oven to experience the life of a pizza, and can recite pizza facts like no other, he is #1 in the pizza hall of knowledge. Thanks to Scott, we found the answers to some very important questions, like where to find lard pizza (Keste), why the pepperonis at Lombardi’s are so delicious (natural meat casings!), and how to tell what kind of oven your pizza has been in (look at the bottom of the slice, duh). Many thanks to Lombardi’s, Alleva, Pizza Box, John’s and the old guy who’s been making pizza ovens by hand for the past 45 years (your hair looks great, btw).

FADER TV: Jonathan Mannion at Milk Gallery
- story THE FADER
If The FADER had its own huge gallery filled with photos from the pages of our magazine, Jonathan Mannion would definitely have a nice sized wing in it. Mannion has shot the second-most covers (we’re not counting or anything) in our history, from the very first issue with Funk Flex to issues that aren’t even out yet. Eminem, Outkast, Beck, Mos Def—you name it, he’s done did done it. And not just for us. Dude’s got a wealth of stories to go with said photos, which he divulged to FADER contributing style editor Mobolaji Dawodu at his recent exhibit Milk Gallery, including his epic experience at Biggie’s platinum party and some vignettes from a wall full of Polaroids.
