Space Invaders • The parking job that prompted thousands of insults, threats, and moral judgments.

My FAMILY Made Me BUY It

BEST BETS

FAMILY SHOPPING

Five Days in Hyères, France • FANNY BOURDETTE-DONON’S FAMILY has a home in Hyères—a quiet seaport town on a peninsula between Marseille and Saint-Tropez. Here, the Dior Beauty international PR and special-projects manager shares the hotel she sometimes opts for over her own house, the app she uses to rent sailboats, and the rare-flower market where she snacks on savory flatbreads.

Miramar Yacht Club • Members and guests watched (and raced in) a weekend regatta at the 77-year-old Sheepshead Bay club.

FROM TOWNHOUSE TO BAUHAUS • After years in a Greenwich Village brownstone, Alexandra Pappas wanted to live her modernist dream. To a point.

New Shanghai • At CheLi in the East Village, soup dumplings only scratch the surface of a menu that is traditional and innovative at once.

BITES

Cherries for Chile Heads • A hot cold-fruit salad brings a sting of spice.

Tonnogate • Is celebrity butcher Dario Cecchini really selling tuna fish at his meaty new sandwich shop?

Top Tunas

Redemption in a Rewrite • Antoinette Chinonye Nwandu’s Pass Over is the first Broadway play to open post-lockdown—and she’s determined to land it on a high note.

The Good-Enough Woman • Depictions of mothers on TV generally suck. In her latest role, Sandra Oh wants to change that.

Who’s Pulling the Strings? • A celebration of the puppets that have always lived among us.

The Case for Speed-watching • How I came to love watching TV shows really fast. (I swear I’m not a monster.)

Read Like the Wind • Tales of intrigue and minutiae to buoy you through the dog days.

CRITICS

Gawain in the Gloaming • A reluctant knight, a mythic challenge, and an evergreen question: What does it all mean?

And Not a Drop to Drink • A neo-noir set in an even thirstier Hollywood.

Out of Line • What does it feel like to watch stand-up if all you’re seeing is a cartoon?

To Do • Twenty-five things to see, hear, watch, and read.

NEW YORK ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL • The rollicking fest turns 20 at Film at Lincoln Center and SVA Theatre, August 6 to 22.

THE APPROVAL MATRIX • Our deliberately oversimplified guide to who falls where on our taste hierarchies.
