My third book, PARTY TRICKS, comes out March 10! It is full of delightful semi-homemade snacks that you can make with just a handful of ingredients (like fried dates with pickled celery and blue cheese, or pistachio magic shell). You can pre-order SIGNED copies from @loftypigeonbooks through the link in my bio, and stay tuned for more news about events and giveaways 🔜

Down a narrow flight of stairs off a nondescript stretch of East 50th Street, past a ceramics studio and behind a clothing boutique, is the 14-seat restaurant Hori. Technically, anyone is welcome inside, although reservations are required — and even the most vigilant stalkers of the Resy page will find there are never any. That’s because Hori is possibly the only restaurant in New York that operates with the Japanese system of ichigensan okotowari, meaning first-time diners must be guests of a regular. Once someone has dined and adhered to the strict “no social media” rule, they can register themselves and unlock access to the otherwise invisible reservations. Inspired by the Japanese TV series Midnight Diner, Hori cultivates what Keisuke Oku of Hand Hospitality calls “jouren” culture, or “regular customers.” Despite the hidden entrance and guest-only policy, the food is casual and modest: nothing on the menu costs more than $10. Read more from @ahezel at the link in our bio on this invite-only opening. Illustration: @bysunnywu
