Raleigh, NC

Somewhere in the mind of restaurateur Robert Thompson resides a stylish, bold, slightly eccentric woman of the 1950s-1960s era. This woman (unnamed, but let’s call her Betty), is a huge fan of gardening, as devoted to her pet parakeets as she is to Elvis, and absolutely loves to throw a good dinner party. Betty’s a fan of bold prints, spicy food, stiff cocktails, and always, always having a good time. Too bad Betty isn’t real, because she sounds like a hoot.

New York City, NY

Gallaghers Steakhouse has been a staple of the Theater District since 1927, beginning its life as a Prohibition-era speakeasy. Some believe, to this day, it rivals other famous New York steakhouses, like Peter Luger and its even more analogous Midtown competitor, Keens. One thing that seems to differentiate Gallaghers from...

The Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts recently introduced Chewbacca, nicknamed Chewy, who they describe as a funny fella who loves everyone. “This adorable mutt is built like an oversized Shih Tzu and weighs 25 lbs. Since he was found as a stray and never claimed, we don't know much about his past.” Chewy has a personality as unique as his looks. "He is overly friendly with all, dogs included. He can come on a bit strong but in the kindest way. He wants everyone to be his friend!" states the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, who is currently caring for Chewy until he finds his forever home.

Aqua and Chewey, our Pets of the Week this week, are so bonded they could be in an ad for Gorilla Glue or Titebond. Their super-tight friendship has helped them acclimate to shelter life, and they need to be adopted together. Since bonded pairs can take a little longer to adopt, we wanted to give these besties a boost here.

Vanishing Georgia

The Central of Georgia Railroad built this depot circa 1898 when they extended their tracks beyond Covington to handle all the business generated by the mills in Porterdale. It’s a bit of an unusual form, and since it’s been restored in recent years, I don’t know if the extension originally featured a loading platform or […]

The Chrysler Building is working to become more of a destination with a focus on upgrading the icon’s retail. The latest: WatchHouse Coffee, a luxe London coffee roaster, which opened its first New York location this spring at 660 Fifth Avenue, at 52nd Street, is adding another outpost inside the ground floor of the Chrysler Building in September, according to a spokesperson. “I see the [Chrysler] building as a Sleeping Beauty: It needs to be woken up and revitalized,” the real estate mogul, backing the building’s update, Aby Rosen told Page Six in 2019. At the time, he was in talks with Major Food Group, with whom he’d worked at his other properties, in the hopes of filling restaurant spaces to rival Chrysler’s Cloud Club, which closed in 1945 (the website suggests that plans are underway to reopen it) as well as food courts. According to a subsequent New York Post story from 2023, the building was said to be around 70 percent capacity, but several factors have allegedly stalled or thwarted lease negotiations. Spokespeople from MONA Retail Holdings and RFR, Rosen’s real estate company, which has recently made its own headlines, declined to comment about the building’s forthcoming food tenants.

I first encountered a rat one evening in a Target parking lot. When my daughter told me it was a rat, I went straight to the car and she went to get a photo of it since she's never seen one before. I assure you it wasn't little.
