Pop-up restaurants are everywhere, from rooftops to art galleries to shuttered storefronts. Yet most diners still cannot explain what separates them from a typical night out. The demand is real, too. According to the National Restaurant Association’s 2023 State of the Restaurant Industry report, 64% of consumers say restaurants are an essential part of their lifestyle. This guide breaks down the concept in plain English.

Hosting a big summer party always sounds like a great idea — until you’re deep in the planning and juggling a hundred small decisions at once. Whether you’re celebrating the season or marking a special occasion, preparation can quickly start to feel overwhelming. With a few thoughtful choices early on, though, it’s entirely possible to stay organized and actually enjoy the process.

A couple of weeks ago, I stopped to gaze into the window of Magnolia Bakery in midtown while en route to the NBC Studios to attend a taping of that week’s Saturday Night Live (Host: Rami Malek). What a delight it was to see this tiered Halloween-themed cake right up front. So scary cute! Whatever your plans (or lack thereof ), have a safe and enjoyable Halloween!
