Links of the week: Fashionable old ladies, a foie gras bucket list, the cause of burnout, Darren Criss seduces us all, and more…
Some things I loved this week:
- Someone is making a documentary about fashion-conscious older women in Manhattan. (Hat tip to Barbs who noted when she shared that we should aspire to be the two women in the big sunglasses)
- Last week I wrote this guide for future “Chopped” contestants and I think more people should have read it… so if you missed it, read now!
- Apparently the “U” part of my name has caused me to be anxious and panicked about missing out on things courtesy of this Lifehacker article.
People with last names beginning with letters later in the alphabet tended to jump on [deals, opportunities, and rewards] much faster in fear of missing out. The study believes this fear was cultivated by always being in the back of the line, causing the lower-lettered last name subjects to concern themselves with being too late to the party.
- Marissa Mayer at Google has a theory that burnout at work is really about resentment over the things you’re missing.
- Eater created a list of 15 foie gras dishes to have before you die. I’m at 2 out of 15 so it’s time to get moving.
- Darren Criss serenades me with some Same Cooke. Perfection (h/t NYMag)
Non-Easter Eggs
Today, my beloved MoPo and I are headed to Eisenberg’s Deli for lunch for the greatest egg salad in the world. I get mine on toasted rye with extra crispy bacon (no lettuce/tomato/onion) AND a chocolate egg cream.
If you haven’t been to Eisenberg’s (and if you like egg salad, that’s a travesty), then you should absolutely buckle up and enjoy this adorable mini-doc about the 83-year old diner.
Just last weekend in DC, I went to We The Pizza, and also ordered an egg cream only to have the woman at the counter whisper “are you sure you want this? Do you know that it’s not a cream soda?”
Not that I needed further proof in New York’s supremacy, but that was pretty much the nail in the coffin.
