FOOD for Thought

Feeding people is always an act of love. While the James Beard Award–winning New York City chefs Jody Williams and Rita Sodi made their names in kitchens (their separate and shared boîtes include the pitch-perfect Tuscan restaurant I Sodi, the café Buvette—so Parisian that the West Village original spawned an outpost in Pigalle—Bar Pisellino, and the perennially packed Via Carota), it’s worth noting that the heart and hospitality to be found in, for instance, Sodi’s lasagna, rightly considered to be among the best in town, isn’t limited to the Resy sharpshooters who can score 8 p.m. tables.

I HAVE LONG BEEN OF the belief that a low, sultry eyelid is a thing of beauty. Lauren Bacall made a career on it! Eyes down, then flicked up, two arrows through Humphrey Bogart’s heart. You know how to whistle, don’t you? Zendaya too. These days you can find the white-hot starlet in any number of high fashion advertisements, eyes elegantly lowered to half-mast, a modern master of the “smize”—a Tyra Banks–credited invention from America’s Next Top Model, employed as shorthand to entreat the aspiring Christys and Naomis and Kates to “smile with their eyes” in a sort of purposeful, unwrinkled microsquint, transforming an image from average to alluring.
