All 27 Ryan Gosling Movies, Ranked |
It's no secret that Ryan Gosling can do it all. He was more than Kenough in Barbie, stealing every scene he had with his comedy, dance, and vocal chops. In Drive, the actor barely even had to speak to ooze cool. Seriously! Gosling says around 100 lines in that film! He's equally powerful in Crazy Stupid Love, dripping an ungodly level of charm. Over the course of his career, the 43-year-old has racked up three Oscar acting nominations, for Half Nelson, La La Land, and Barbie. Somehow—despite all this and even his child star roots—we have a feeling he's just getting started. Now, the actor is back and and better than ever in The Fall Guy, an action-packed film about a stunt double who becomes the hero. As the Gosling takeover continues, we looked back in the rearview mirror of our stunt car to rank every film of the actor's career so far. |

The Shakerato Is a Magical One-Ingredient Cocktail |
It just feels so wrong. You take a single, gorgeous amaro—which probably has a semisecret recipe perfected and handed down through generations—and shake the absolute hell out of it with ice in a cocktail tin. Isn't that a sin against the liqueur gods? These bittersweet liqueurs, primarily from Italy, should be sipped room temperature or slightly chilled following an epic dinner and used in fancy aperitivo cocktails, right? But after you strain it into an elegant coupe, an exquisite crema forms—that white, foamy layer on the surface, like the one on a perfectly made espresso or the head of a Guinness. Crema always elicits the same reaction: I. Must. Drink. You do, and it's a revelation: This single ingredient is capable of producing a libation of complexity and depth. The amaro shakerato is like a cocktail cheat code. |

Five Fits With: The Guy Behind One of New York's Coolest Stores, Luke Fracher |
You might know Luke Fracher from his time at the trailblazing secondhand shop Round Two in Richmond, Virginia. But you should definitely know him from his Lower East Side outpost, Luke's, his fully evolved form, where he has synthesized years of invaluable knowledge and experience into a community-driven buy, sell, and trade shop for luxury and vintage clothing and accessories. I'm someone who has seen a ton of trends and brands wax and wane, and Fracher's style is decidedly eclectic, which is usually the way with the tastemakers of the vintage industry. His unique perspective is what keeps his clients coming back, as so much of his identity is tied up in the shop and its wares. On a sunny spring morning, I met Luke at his shop before its opening to discuss his path from Round Two to Luke's, his first financially significant purchases, what makes Luke's different from competitors, trends he's seeing on the New York streets, and plenty more. |

The Made-to-Measure Shirt Brand That Makes It Oh So Easy |
I thought I was too good for an online made-to-measure shirt. Truthfully, I turned my nose up at the idea a little bit. I know my neck and arm measurements, do I really need this? Can a made-to-measure (or "MTM") shirting site make me something I actually love? The answer, in short, is yes. The longer version is this: These days, the sheer number of MTM operations online can be downright overwhelming. It's easy to fall down a rabbit hole of research, reading reviews until you're paralyzed by choice. Even when you decide to go for it and focus on a single site, the process itself—measuring, choosing fabrics, tweaking details—can feel like a chore. And after all that, once you actually get the shirt, there's a disappointingly large chance the fit and quality won't be up to snuff, especially considering what you spent. That's where Stantt comes in. |

Baby Reindeer: 8 Shows to Watch Next |
Hopefully, you've never lived through an experience quite like the one on Netflix's Baby Reindeer, in which a comedian is harassed and stalked. Throughout the series, we see a bizarre blend of humor and danger. The dark story is based on creator Richard Gadd's real-life encounter, which helped the dramatized true-crime show rise to the status of sleeper hit. Now? It's all everyone is talking about. After learning about Gadd's tale of harassment, misguided indulgence, and assault, fans even began looking to out the real people behind the story—which prompted the creator to plead for viewers to cease their search. We suggest that you put your attention elsewhere once the credits roll on the final episode. Below, we've rounded up a list of eight shows like Baby Reindeer to watch next. |

It wasn't until writing this that I remembered: my grandmother was not a good cook. Sandwiched between my father (lauded) and my great-grandmother (legendary), she was considered a clumsy interloper in the kitchen, lucky to serve a husband too concerned with scholarship to notice what he ate—plus me, a baby. Thinking back, it seems possible that the chicken soup my grandmother boiled up for me with salt and white pepper, nothing else, was bland; that her dumplings were too brown and salty; that I might be a better cook than she was. Certainly, I've shaped myself into a more discerning eater. I spent my twenties in pursuit of the perfect meal. While contemporaries chose continuing educations in cocktails, rock climbing, Settlers of Catan, and Spanish, I learned amuse-bouche, Maillard reaction, gastrique, and agrodolce with the intensity of an immigrant kid determined to test out of ESL. Newly flush with disposable income, I found myself seduced as much by fine dining as by the culture it represented: a certain socio-economic strata of European-inflected worldliness expressed in white tablecloths, small portions, and good taste—the same words used to describe the intellectual dimensions of that life in which the books on the table are as old and revered as the wine. I'd spent years peering in the window. Eating was, I suppose, the most direct way to internalize what I desired. |
