The Cronut (Croissant + Donut) at Dominque Ansel Bakery.
1) So this exists.
2) All of NYC won’t shut up about it.
3) My mind is still blown.
This post is one in the Travel with Ten series, where my friends submit a list of their area’s top 10 eating and drinking establishments. These top-10 lists reflect their authors’ budgets, addresses, and tastes, of course, but they also reflect their generosity—they’re sharing their secrets and upping their own wait times for you!
Most importantly, my contributors have given you and me the gift of traveling somewhere with ten great places already in mind.
This entry comes from my friend Emmeline Zhao, who lives in the Big City of New York, and who has been a wonderful host for me—twice. She says, “I know I broke the ‘10’ rule, but I added 5 of my favorite high-ticket picks at the bottom. Didn’t want to include them in the regular top-10 list because well, they could be somewhat unrealistic both $$-wise and opening-wise. Some of them have special reservation systems that require you to call or be online at a certain time x number of weeks in advance.”

What Google Autocomplete Tells Us About Ourselves
Performing age related searches such as “I’m 15 and”; and then letting Google take over with its autocomplete this short video gives a depressing look at what’s on our collective minds.
Via Marius B:
Using billions of searches, Google has prototyped an anonymous profile of its users.
This reflects the fears, inquiries, preoccupations, obsessions and fixations of the human being at a certain age and our evolution through life
While search results may vary, Marius indicates in the video’s comment thread that “the queries are made in the “incognito tab” with no user signed in, no cookies nor history and with a permanent paid VPN targeting US.”
"Yeah, New York sucks. But it’s kind of like crystal meth. Once you get a taste of it, however bad it is for you, you never want to live without it."
