A lifelong New Yorker, James Harris (@doctortaco ), co-host of the menswear-slash-everything podcast @throwingfits , knows how to take advantage of the holiday week in New York. It’s a time when all the transplants return to their respective coasts and suburbs and, suddenly, Resy slots open up. On a week-long seafood bender, he managed to squeeze into not one, but two of the city’s most impossible tables: Bong and Bistrot Ha.
He also hosted his parents for the first time this Christmas, improvising his way through a decadent seafood spread that left everyone happy (and functioned as a double-portion lunch the next day). His week of no-lines eating also produced two food predictions for 2026: Pomelo will be the citrus of the year, and the Cosmo will be the drink of the year. Pomelo Cosmo, anyone?
