At Marea in New York City, no detail goes unchecked. 14 varieties of pasta, painstakingly hand-rolled; sea urchin and lardo crostini, perfectly toasted; lobster burrata, arranged with the highest precision; and an octopus fusilli to die for. Andrew goes behind the swinging doors of this celebrated establishment to find out if he still has the chops to keep up in one of the busiest kitchens in the city that never sleeps.

The New York Pigeon: Behind the Feathers is an interesting new photobook by photographer, author, and New Yorker, Andrew Garn that focuses on the under-appreciated beauty of the New York City pigeon.

The New York Pigeon is a photography book that reveals the unexpected beauty of the omnipresent pigeon as if Vogue magazine devoted its pages to birds, rather than fashion models. In spite of pigeons' ubiquity in New York and other cities, we never really see them closely and know very little about their function in the urban ecosystem. This book brings to light the intriguing history, behavior and splendor of a bird that we frequently overlook.
