NY-12, which includes both the Upper West and Upper East Sides, is the smallest and most population-dense congressional district in the country, one that candidates can crisscross several times over in an afternoon. It is among the wealthiest and oldest districts in the United States and is also the district with the most college graduates. If you listen to the candidates, the battle for NY-12 is not just about who will be the next member of the city’s congressional delegation but a contest among factions of the island’s Democratic base: the old-money elite, the anti-Trump resisters, the tech-world crusaders, and the old-school party Establishment.

While nearly a dozen candidates are vying for the district’s congressional seat, the primary is coming down to just four: Micah Lasher, a state assemblyman from the Upper West Side and a longtime political hand who is Jerry Nadler’s anointed successor; Alex Bores, an assemblyman from the Upper East Side whose calls for AI regulation have led to millions of dollars being spent both for and against him; George Conway, the onetime Republican lawyer who has achieved notoriety as a leader of the #Resistance; and a previously little-known social-media influencer who is trying to rewrite the rules of New York City politics.

“It’s New York-sized,” that social-media influencer, Jack Schlossberg, said when asked why this campaign is different. Schlossberg’s presence in the race proves the point.

For our Cover Story, David Freedlander reports on how four liberal-but-not-left Democrats are racing to be the face of Manhattan. Read it at the link in our bio.

NY-12 “is not a district like most,” says one pollster. “You go around the country and the No. 1 issue is affordability and the cost of living, and those are the 8,000th-most important issues in this district, which is filled with affluent white liberals who are singularly obsessed with what Donald Trump is doing to our country.”

While nearly a dozen candidates are vying for the district’s congressional seat, the primary is coming down to just four: Micah Lasher, a state assemblyman from the Upper West Side and a longtime political hand; Alex Bores, an assemblyman from the Upper East Side whose calls for Al regulation have led to millions of dollars being spent both for and against him; George Conway, the onetime Republican lawyer who has achieved notoriety as a leader of the #Resistance; and Jack Schlossberg, the Kennedy and social-media influencer, who is trying to rewrite the rules of New York City politics.

Part of what makes the race such a political junkies’ delight is that the stakes are so low. This isn’t a presidential contest, or a mayoral contest, or even a swing-seat congressional race. It’s a primary between four liberal-but-not-left Democrats with similar views on the issues. And so the battle is really about what wins elections in Manhattan in our post-Mamdani era. Can social-media savvy beat experience? Does the West Side political machine still matter? Is there anything more important than impeaching and removing Trump? Or can a bunch of Trump-aligned tech-industry donors alter the contours of a congressional race in a deep-blue bastion in New York City?

The term “alpine divorce,” which comes from an 1893 short story about a husband who plans to push his wife off a mountain in the Alps, has become a social-media catchall to describe any time a man, whether out of malice or idiocy, leaves his girlfriend or wife in the wilderness.

TikToks of women sharing their personal anecdotes started going viral after an Austrian climber was found guilty of manslaughter for leaving his girlfriend at the top of the country’s highest mountain, where she died of hypothermia. During the trial, an ex-girlfriend took the stand to say he had also once left her on the same mountain. Women were horrified. Was this man simply reckless or a psychopath who got off some twisted form of wilderness torture? Since then, “alpine divorce” has become a Me Too–style hashtag used in explainer videos and first-person confessionals where women talk about being left in canyons with twisted ankles and injured knees or abandoned on hikes in foreign countries.

Some have expressed shock that such a nightmarish trend even exists and is prevalent enough to have a name. The idea that on top of everything else, women need to worry about being ditched by their boyfriends on a secluded trail or pushed off the edge of a lookpoint sounds too cartoonishly evil to be true. But the reality is, the person most likely to harm a woman isn’t a wild animal or a stranger lurking in the woods; it’s the person sleeping next to them at night.

At the link in our bio, read Angelina Chapin on the phenomenon of the “alpine divorce” and how it’s tapped into the rage women feel at being abandoned in other situations, too.

“My thing, from the beginning, was that these people are the stars of today,” Andy Cohen says. “You can put Dorinda Medley with Elizabeth Moss, or surprise Jennifer Lawrence with Countess LuAnn. Hearing Lena Dunham talk about who she would cast in the 'Summer House' movie was great.”

Cohen served as an executive at Bravo for ten years starting in 2004, when the network was just beginning to focus on reality-TV content with no Nene Leakes or Lisa Vanderpump in sight. After helping shape shows including 'Top Chef,' 'Project Runway,' and 'Below Deck,' he stepped down from a VP role to focus on producing 'Housewives' and appearing in the increasingly crucial position of onscreen face for the genre’s most powerful platform.

Still, his influence is felt across Bravo programming in every hot-mic moment and dinner-party edit that evokes the docu-soap tropes Cohen helped build. “It’s in my best interest for Bravo to always be succeeding.”

At the link in bio, Cohen — our 2026 #RealityMasterminds Master of Culture — talks about Bravo's turn toward meta, 'Summer House,' 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' and much more.

Still, his influence is felt across Bravo programming in every hot-mic moment and dinner-party edit that evokes the docu-soap tropes Cohen helped build. “It’s in my best interest for Bravo to always be succeeding.”

At the link in bio, Cohen — our 2026 #RealityMasterminds Master of Culture — talks about Bravo's turn toward meta, 'Summer House,' 'Real Housewives of Atlanta,' and much more.

“My thing, from the beginning, was that these people are the stars of today,” Andy Cohen says. “You can put Dorinda Medley with Elizabeth Moss, or surprise Jennifer Lawrence with Countess LuAnn. Hearing Lena Dunham talk about who she would cast in the 'Summer House' movie was great.”

A white male New York ‘Times’ employee filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging the paper had discriminated against him by not giving him a promotion because he is a white male. On Tuesday, the EEOC, now controlled by a Trump appointee who has vowed to help wage the president’s war against DEI culture, filed a civil-rights lawsuit against the ‘Times’ arguing that the paper’s efforts to satisfy its diversity goals amounted to “unlawful employment practices.”

The paper itself was first to break the news of the suit but did not name the employee who made the complaint. Reporters at the paper have been scrambling to figure out the employee’s identity, driven in part by bafflement that one of their own colleagues would sell out the paper to the administration, which has used tools of the federal government to attack the press.

“This has been kind of a shitshow behind the scenes — people trying to figure out who the aggrieved person is,” said a ‘Times’ staffer. The release of the complaint on Tuesday narrowed the speculation to Bryant Rousseau, a senior editor and producer on the ‘Times’’s international desk who has been with the paper for more than a decade.

With AI’s job-killing, human-replacing revolution on the horizon, the unemployment rate for young graduates is already at its highest level since the start of the pandemic — the global scourge that, just six years ago, yanked those same kids out of high school and deferred their first sweet steps out of childhood. One bolt from the blue, then another: It’s enough to make a person think the universe is out to get them.

“How one would even start a career now — scarred by the recent past, menaced by a post-human future, and debilitated by early exposure to smartphones — is beyond me,” writes Ryu Spaeth. “Like many others deep into their careers, I’m apprehensive about what is ahead, too.”

What advice can you then give the young grad? One school of thought holds that, whatever challenges lie in the future, people will manage to adapt and flourish. That those new to the workforce can become the “author of [their] own professional lives."

At the link in our bio, Spaeth explores what happens when that promise increasingly feels like a lie.

This *has* to be the year, doesn’t it?

The last time the Knicks made the NBA Finals was 1999. The Knicks have been mostly miserable in the 27 years that followed: mismanaged, overpaid and downright dispiriting. “For the vast majority of my adult life, it has been actively stupid to be a Knicks fan,” writes Will Letich. “But all of us fans kept watching. The Garden remained full every night. The bing still bonged. All with the hope that it might someday be better than … that. Someday, they might even return to those NBA Finals. And suddenly, magnificently, it looks like all that waiting may just pay off.

It sure looks like the Finals drought is close to ending. Or at least it better be.

After their 137–98 obliteration of the Philadelphia 76ers on Monday night, which was their fourth straight blowout playoff victory, the Knicks have never looked closer to the place they’ve been so desperate to return. Following a season of stops and starts, of controversy, of losing streaks, of occasionally listless play, this looks like the best Knicks team in 30-plus years.

At the link in our bio, Leitch writes about why if the Knicks don’t make the NBA Finals this year, they never will.

Before they actually have kids of their own, all food-loving parents-to-be harbor the same fantasy: Our babies will be different. We’ll teach them to turn up their noses at nuggets. Ours will be the young sophisticates who pontificate assuredly on bleu cheese and salmon rolls. Kids, however, have their own ideas. This city’s restaurants become potential battlefields: Go somewhere too “adult,” and your kids will throw a fit before the tuna tartare hits the table. Kowtow to the tastes of second-graders, and you’ll be eating chicken fingers for the foreseeable future.

But when you hit the sweet spot — food that is familiar but well made, knowing servers who treat your 7-year-old like a genius for ordering a Shirley Temple — your kids’ world opens up just a little more and you get to actually enjoy an evening out of the house. Do these utopias really exist?

To find out, we took our own kids across town and grilled every parent we saw at morning drop-off to come up with a list of the places that make children happy and keep parents well fed. (We had only two self-imposed mandates: No pizza and no big chains. You don’t need us to tell you most young diners enjoy both.) Which restaurants have the kindest staffs? Which menus balance kid appeal with culinary showmanship? And most important: Where is the elementary-school set not simply tolerated but welcomed with open arms and a fresh box of crayons?

Head to the link in our bio for the full list, and let us know in the comments some of your favorite places to dine with kids.

Starting in 1990, @JerrySaltz photographed every gallery opening, museum party, and studio visit he went to. It was a pure, rambunctious time in the New York art world, when a new generation of artists was coming on the scene — Matthew Barney, Elizabeth Peyton, Tracey Emin, Chris Ofili, Jeff Koons. By the end of the decade, Jerry had developed 15 rolls of film over and over into some 40,000 slides. They’ve been in storage for years, but this week we hosted an exclusive, subscriber-only “director’s cut” of @jerrysaltz’s remarkable archive as a sprawling slideshow at @svatheatre.

By the end of the decade, Jerry had developed 15 rolls of film over and over into some 40,000 slides. They’ve been in storage for years, but this week we hosted an exclusive, subscriber-only “director’s cut” of @jerrysaltz’s remarkable archive as a sprawling slideshow at @svatheatre.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
