Currently running Off-Broadway, Dungeons & Dragons: The Twenty-Sided Tavern is one of my favorite shows to open this year. Going into it, I knew nothing about the game, yet the show opens newcomers and veterans with open arms to play in this zany and interactive theatrical experience. I sat down with DAGL, the show’s co-creator, story writer, producer, and original Dungeon Master to chat about bringing an iconic game to the stage, audience hijinks, and creating community through the show.

I fell in love with Poster House when I first visited in spring 2021 for my “Jane Visits Every Museum in New York City” video series. Through its incredible exhibitions, programming, and accessibility efforts, it exemplifies what a great art institution can be. 

For this episode, I had a conversation with Angelina Lippert, the Chief Curator and Director of Content at Poster House. We discuss breaking into the curatorial world, what goes into creating a museum, and her new exhibition “The Anatomy of a Movie Poster: The Work of Dawn Baillie (on show through Sep 8, 2024)

New Yorkers love their bagels, but I don’t think anyone loves bagels as much as Sam Silverman. Known as the Bagel Ambassador,  Sam is the founder of BagelUp and New York BagelFest, the leading bagel trade organization and show respectively. I got to chat with him about the history of this famous food, why bagel culture is important, and his hot takes on your order.

Compared to pizza and bagels, seltzer water kind of flies under the radar in regards to NYC edible delights, but it has a long and rich history in the city. The Brooklyn Seltzer Museum is sharing that history inside Brooklyn Seltzer Boys which is the last seltzer factory in the tri-state area. 

Today I talk with the team behind the museum: Alex Gomberg, the Vice President of Brooklyn Seltzer Boys, and Barry Joseph, the author of Seltzertopia: The Extraordinary Story of an Ordinary Drink.
