What issue is that in? ???
I understand the light was a great attraction for artists, too.
I didn't know Ciro & Sal's still existed, and the Mews is wonderful!
The Lobster Pot has the best clam chowder the world. :D
They used to have a good crab meat salad sandwich, too, but that's been gone from the menu for years, now. :(

Thanks for giving me the real story! I did think it odd that so much was devoted to Sal's and wondered if there were other good restaurants in town. Jeff, this is in the back of the latest issue.

Ciro & Sal's is better than ever. Also open all year, they are so welcoming on a cold, winter evening with their fireplaces and warm lighting. Outstanding lobster bisque, freshest fish, and an interesting wine list. They also have a very inviting outdoor space that I haven't yet tried.
The Mews is under renovation, so they moved temporarily up the street. Same great food and great staff.
Gotta love the Pot! I imagine the price of crab meat has made it prohibitive.
Actually, my favorite place is Strangers and Saints (the name for the different clans on the Mayflower--Pilgrims and "others"). It's owned by friends of ours, and my good friend Joey does their books and payroll! Situated in a gorgeous 19th century Greek Revival columned house, it serves creative food and even more creative drinks.

I don't know why I'm so ahead of you guys, but I got July 29 yesterday. Cover drawing is of a man and boy on a bike, the man holding a torch and the boy a French flag. I didn't really get it but based on the title "Monsieur Hulot's Olympics," I gathered it's a reference to the Olympics and a filmmaker in postwar France. Not sure whether the merger of the two in one image is significant in some way, but I didn't find it catchy.
Here's an image from one of the guy's films, which the cover cartoon reproduces almost exactly with the addition of the aforementioned props:
Inside, there's a story about a Grateful Dead reboot with two members and John Mayer, a Louis Menand essay about the yuppie and an Adam Gopnik piece about abolishing prisons.
Meanwhile, I'm going through my stacks of partly-read, and in some cases not-at-all-read, New Yorkers. I found one from January that's full of good stuff.
Oh, and this just in: I went to find a link to the fiction issue for you, Lee, so you could read it online. Here it is. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2024/07/08
But on the way there, I came across an issue that I don't remember getting! Did I blank out on the memory, or is it some special thing I didn't receive? For one thing, all the other issues are identified by a specific date, and this one just says "July 2024." (Note differences in the URLs above and below.)
https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/the-interviews-issue-july-2024
It features interviews with celebrities and other people. A cartoon of Kevin Costner shows him looking like Teddy Roosevelt.
WTH? Have there been a bunch of these undated New Yorkers all along and I was just never aware?
Front-Ranger:
I got that issue yesterday too. I wondered why the man was dressed so dowdily and then I saw the title. I'm not familiar with Mr. Hulot but I understand he is well loved.
