On a recent visit to San Francisco we re-discovered a favorite umami-packed confection. Created by chocolatier Christine Doerr NeoCocoa in 2016, this brittle starts with 70% Ecuadorian Camino Verde chocolate, adding toffee, brown sugar, sea salt and sesame seed to create the satisfyingly cronchy taste explosion.

This pocket boutonniere is an ethereal twist on formalwear detail—a cluster of clear quartz crystals meticulously arranged on a low‑profile bar that slips into a suit breast pocket. No piercing, no pin, no damage to fabric—just sleek geology meeting sartorial constructs. The translucent, jagged quartz spires catch light, adding an unexpected flash of natural sparkle that contrasts the clean lines of a tailored jacket. It’s a subtle statement piece, marrying artisanal design and wearable crystal energy with ease and elegance.

When a bag was stolen filled with expensive camera gear, the owner was calmed that the AirTag he had in it would help assist in its recovery. Then they realized that the battery in it was dead. AirTag batteries are easy to replace but typically only last around a year, which goes by quickly. So they got to work and Elevation Labs developed TimeCapsule, a rectangular case that supports two AA batteries, which can provide power for your AirTag for up to 10 years or more, and provides the power of 12 coin cell batteries. Price is for one TimeCapsule, but discounts are available for multiple units—$40 for a four pack, for example.

A$AP Rocky’s latest “The Next Generation” collection with Ray-Ban, which fittingly made their debut on the runway at Men’s Paris Fashion Week, dips into a neo-futuristic, post-apocalyptic, Grace Jones in the house vibe that we can’t get enough of. On the streets, in the clubs, at the beach—the three wrapped styles in the collection (each available in several colorways) manage to hit a fashion and future intersection that feels spot-on as we navigate uncertain times. This pair, the Ultra Wrap 002, is our favorite, but both the 001s and 003s are solid options.

Jody Williams and Rita Sodi—the chefs behind NYC’s beloved Via Carota restaurant—have expanded their range of batched-and-bottled cocktails to enjoy at home, with a summer-ready line of sparkling drinks that are ideal for a balmy evening. The new cocktails include effervescent Spritz, Paloma, French 75, Negroni Sbagliato and a White Negroni Sbagliato—all made with the same focus on quality ingredients that the restaurant is known for. If you have to choose just one, we recommend the classic Negroni Sbagliato. Meaning “mistaken” or “bungled,” Sbagliato riffs on the classic Negroni, replacing gin with sparkling wine. Via Carota’s citrusy and bittersweet iteration can be sipped straight from the bottle, but we suggest serving it over plenty of ice for even more refreshment. Price is for a 10 pack.

Their first cookbook is a pragmatic and user-friendly recipe book that’s separated into predictable categories (meat, seafood, salads + vegetables) and unexpected ones (a bowl of, bread + toast). With a humorous introduction, a section on wine and tempting photos throughout, it’s a warm, casual but impeccable cookbook that just makes sense—much like the restaurant itself.
