In April, my family and I traveled to the Chiriquí Province of Panama, which is roughly 300 miles southwest of Panama City. Our trip, facilitated by @blacktomatotravel, incredible. I’m thrilled that I can share it here, in @cntraveler.com.web.brid.gy

The Clam Box for sure (Ipswich). Probably Zeno’s (Ipswich), though I do think everyone should go down Revere Beach for a Kelly’s original at least once. I know everyone will say Modern Butcher (or probably Londi’s), but MB only serves on Saturdays and there’s always a line.
You definitely shouldn’t eat soft shell clams outside of Ipswich (or Essex, I’ll throw that out here). I agree with you there!
Don’t you friggin dare, kehd. First of all, I try never to be honest with myself. Second of all, it’s regional for a reason. I don’t go to East Boston to eat a three-way. Pizza? Sure. Fried clams or supah beef? Yah outta yah damn mind.
It’s what I’m sayin!
Can’t get these down in Suffolk!
I definitely wanna start a mean fight in the comments.
Truth. Three-way or nothing, and no, you can’t get it in Boston. North Shore or bust.
Ugly secrets. Parental politics. A body in the Ipswich River. VALLEY OF THE MOMS is out 6.16.26, and it's available to pre-order now. Pick up my debut novel here: www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/hanna...
NYT be like: cut all abortion and trans rights but keep *some* libraries, there we did it, we won the partisan war! Everyone is happy!
Some personal news:

The Qur’an has been required reading for Columbia students for at least 25 years. It’s taught as part of the Core Curriculum, right alongside the Bible (both Old and New Testaments). It’s impossible to take this seriously.

I'm in this article with Meghan Markle and only one of us comes across as redeemable.
I’ve been firmly planted in book territory of late (with some updates to come that I’m not *quite* ready to share), but here’s my latest for T+L, in the Culinary Issue. I’m just in love with the photography on this piece.
Thank you to Charlotte Druckman and WSJ Off Duty for keeping the momentum going on CELLAR RAT!

A very different byline for me. This shared byline, by 18 former members of the Columbia Daily Spectator, where I served as writer and editor between 1999 and 2002, now appears as an open letter to my university. I hope you’ll read it.
