Aperol spritz's become more accessible.
+ new money in the Catskills, a Brandy Melville fight club.
Good morning everyone. I had a blast in yesterday’s comment section with all of my prep school readers. I found the perfect shirt for you brats.
Today’s letter includes: a conversation with Golden Age Hospitality’s Jon Neidich about his Milanese dream coming to Alphabet City, Meghan Markle pudding mix, a secret menu of Brandy Melville sweatshirts, Aman Los Angeles, and a Montauk slice shop team’s expansion into Brooklyn.
I just finished reading this New York magazine story about a woman who is stuck in a group chat that is making her lose her mind. There’s a newsletter I’ve been meaning to work on about digital courtesy, specifically the lack of it and misunderstanding around it. About 100 people text me a day. You’re insane if you think I engage in meaningful conversations with all of those people, let alone answer them.
It’s funny to me that people think it’s offensive to leave a group chat, or ignore a text, but they have no problem making reservations at three restaurants with the intention to only show up to one.
Last month I did an Instagram AMA, and someone asked me, “What is a current conversation that we need to have LESS of and one that we need to have MORE of.” I responded that we’re facing an etiquette epidemic, and it’s time to talk about it. My DM’s instantly flooded with people looking to crack open this conversation.
I wanted to point out one specific DM from friend-of-the-letter
