Just saw that this was open and grabbed a few pastries. We purchased an almond croissant, apple tart and a chocolate almond croissant. First two were good, not particularly exceptional (I'd give the edge to Fondry for both) but the chocolate almond was exquisite, best we've ever had and better than most normal almond croissants I've ever had. Delicate, rich and complex chocolate flavor with a soft and chewy inside that contrasts delightfully with the flaky exterior. Highly recommended.

Passion fruit are in season, so I’ve been cutting two at a time into my tropical iced tea every day, multiple time per day. Exquisite.

Also Passport Teas Tropical Black Iced Tea beats the hell out of Art of Tea’s offerings, if you’re still living that life.

Anyone have this issue as an older editor? I've hit a point in my career that when reviewing my portfolio, I have to start paring out--or minimizing?--all the various characters that have been canceled over the years. Just pulled out this old Ciroc ad and saw the final shot with Cassie and Sean Combs in it. Not a great look. Need to put the Kanye music videos way lower in the stack. Jared Leto almost got canceled last year (probably deserved it, tbh), so 30 seconds to mars is questionable. Had a commercial considering Aerosmith's "Dream On" for sync in 2024 that got pulled because of credible allegations. Feels like a minefield out there.
