We have entered my favorite season: the season of gorging on tomatoes. I grow both hybrid and heirloom tomatoes at Catbird Cottage, and once the first fruits have ripened, after a gleeful harvest, there are BLT sandwiches and numerous batches of sauce and confit that follow. I clear the calendar to bottle my surplus, preserving the season so I can enjoy their exceptional flavor year-round.

Meet Normani’s Under 30 Manager Brandon Silverstein
This week Normani and Cardi B’s “Wild Side” hit Spotify’s USA Top 50 chart. Here’s a look behind the music. At 15, Brandon Silverstein spent his Saturday nights sneaking into New York City nightclubs. The Tenafly, New Jersey, teen used his fake ID to get under the velvet rope and listen to DJs like Tiesto and Kygo. His goal: meet the talent, get their contact information and hire them to play at his own parties at city clubs and restaurants like Tenjune. They’d attract 800 or so high schoolers willing to pay his $30 cover charge, and by taking a 20% cut of the soda bar, he’d walk away with about $8,000 a night.
