As part of the Burger Bar pop-up, American Cut Tribeca will also launch a Fried Chicken Biscuit with their signature ‘everything’ biscuit.”

••• Have you noticed that framed cover of Town & Country magazine with Ivanka Trump on it that’s in Bluemercury’s Warren Street window? I’ve wondered how it was going over with people—she’s entirely complicit in our national nightmare, if you ask me—and then I got an email today from J. “I almost—I mean, I went in, thought better about it and walked out—asked the Blue Mercury folks to remove the Ivanka Trump magazine cover. That would be insane, right?” And pointless, I said. But I went over to take a photo today, and someone had already decided to do something about it by placing a sticker on the window.
