If only JFK Jr. were around today to give us his input on things like the iPad-only newspaper, the craziness of Lanvin for H&M and, even more so, Sarah Palin's prose. Alas, I'll do my best on these and much more. Check out what I'm reading today! More»

When we caught up with  New Yorker editor David Remnick at last night's Moth Ball, he discussed his measured approval of the growing influence of the iPad in journalism but warned that content should not be free... More»

This weekend was a time to relax and chill out. Before your Monday gets carried away from you, stop and check in on what catching my attention:

Fall is definitely here in NYC. And, in honor of the change of season, I have decided to mix up the office (new writers starting, new office set up, etc). After the first real fall weekend spent in the city, I'm even more excited about what the coming months have in store. Here's what's on my mind today: More»

My guy only reads the NY Times. So, I've started emailing him lists of things that caught my eye online outside of the Times. I've decided if it's good enough to send to him, it's good enough to share with you. Below are the things that caught my eye today: More»

This week, New Yorker television critic Nancy Franklin reviews Jersey Shore. Talk about a highbrow-lowbrow confrontation that would make the Approval Matrix explode. Most surprising? For a while there, we thought she kind of liked it! Most exciting? She gives us hope that Snooki will have her own spin-off. More»

Woody Allen once said that Americans outside of NYC thought of New Yorkers as "left-wing, communist, Jewish, homosexual pornographers." Now, they have even more ammo against us, only this time it involves "jaguar-free honey." More»

Stars of stage, screen, and "The City" congregated at The River Cafe on Wednesday night at the after party for Woody Allen's "Whatever Works," which premiered earlier this year at the Tribeca Film Festival. The Brooklyn setting, with its spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline, was an appropriate setting for the party, which celebrated the iconic director's return to the city that made him famous after four years filming abroad. The event, hosted by The Cinema Society and The New Yorker, had many of New York's most famous faces in attendance, including the film's stars Larry David, Evan Rachel Wood, and Patricia Clarkson, and guests Candace Bushnell, Andrew Bevan, and Jay McInerney.
