Tomato season has arrived, and finally I feel justified in my love affair with a classic sandwich: The Turkey Club. I think it’s only appropriate for lunch, BUT it makes a great pairing for a lunch time 50/50 ‘tini (see above.) Oh, and I’ve never actually had one at a club — your local diner probably makes a perfectly good one.

sandwich series to be reoccurring bc when a sandwich is GOOD i think about it from the moment i try it until eternity
standouts on this divine stacking:
- pastrami-cured turkey (for a deli meat, it’s exploding flavor)
- tartine’s country bred (duh it’s a bakery)
- pickle aioli (tangy and unexpectedly the piece that ties it all together)
- CHICKEN SKIN????!!!!!! provides same spark in a bite as a piece of bacon would. unbelievable and my memory’s greatest takeaway
additions (not necessary)
- i’d consider a microgreen more poignant than a sunflower sprout
- i’d flirt with the idea of a lil dijon

I know this is a ~seasonal~ summer thing oops but hits for me year round
My easy delish recipe
1. Grab a fancy looking tomato from the fancy grocery store
2. Toast 2 slices sourdough so they’re crispy (this is ur only texture so make it count) and then spread with kewpie mayo
3. Cut tomato into thick slices, pat dry, then season with salt and pepper and chives if you have, assemble

Have you ever lusted over an object to the point of obsession? For some ungodly reason, this has been my relationship with Belgian Shoes: the dainty, bowed loafers only available at their single Midtown storefront (closed on Sunday’s). They’re whimsical, aspirational, and have a way of completing a look — from formal to casual. In a sense, perfectly imperfect.

Sometimes you’re lucky enough to stumble upon something great entirely by accident and at exactly the right time. This is how I feel about Tony Shirtmakers. Tony is a one man powerhouse who designs and makes (mostly custom) shirts & shirt jackets out of his home / studio in Maine. I am impatiently awaiting a beautiful brown-olive shirt jacket I commissioned a few weeks ago that should arrive right around the time this newsletter drops. Tony also just launched a small collection ready-to-wear at No Man Walks Alone — grab a top before they’re all gone!

All the pomp and circumstance of drinking a ‘tini, with a little less bite. 1.5oz of Gin, 1.5oz of Dry Vermouth, and a few dashes of Orange Bitters — stirred until ice cold and served in a (chilled!) glass with a twist of lemon or a few olives if that’s your thing. The only rule: never vodka - it doesn’t bring much to the party.
