We’ve all been there—lying in bed at 1:00 a.m. staring at the ceiling and desperately wishing we could fall asleep already. Next time this happens to you, skip the melatonin gummy and try something tastier with a sleepy time mocktail. These powdered “SuperLattes,” magnesium-spiked cocoas, and tart cherry tonics can help you drift to dreamland faster and are flat out more delicious than a spoonful of ZzzQuil.According to registered dietitian Maddie Pasquariello, MS, RDN, whether these bedtime drinks actually do anything comes down to what’s inside. Some ingredients, like magnesium or melatonin, have evidence suggesting they can help you feel…

Carnitas—literally “little meats”—are one of Mexico’s most iconic pork dishes, and this double-pork carnitas recipe (belly and shoulder) delivers a flavorful, unfussy take built around two things: great meat and patience.This streamlined recipe strips out the citrus, spices, and other aromatics typical of many carnitas recipes, keeping the braise intentionally simple. The payoff comes in the final step, when the pork is crisped in its own fat, yielding juicy, shreddy meat with deeply browned, crackly edges and concentrated pork flavor.Once the meat is cooked, make carnitas tacos by filling warm corn tortillas with the shredded pork and topping with fresh…

Banks in the U.S. may not like the idea of being forced to collect citizenship data on customers, but Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent says they better be prepared for the task.”If Treasury and the banking regulators say it’s their job, it’s their job,” Bessent told CNBC’s Sara Eisen at the Invest in America Forum in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday.An executive order that has been discussed for months took a step closer to reality earlier this week when Bessent said in an interview with Semafor that the EO is “in process.”The planned EO is one more plank in President Donald Trump’s…

The 99-year-old St. James Theater in New York has been home to some of the most indelible Broadway productions ever, from Oklahoma! to Hello, Dolly! to Nicole Scherzinger’s blood-spattered turn in Sunset Boulevard last season. But the storied space has never seen anything quite like Titanique, an irreverent and frenetic musical parody of Titanic featuring the music of Céline Dion. And the St. James is only the latest stop in a long voyage that’s going decidedly better than its shipwrecked namesake.On the show’s opening night, an array of well-wishers came to wish it a blessed maiden journey, Clive Davis, Gina…

During my time at the restaurant, I proofed focaccia dough in Cambros, stored hundreds of saltine crackers in them to keep them from drying out, cracked dozens of eggs into them for French toast batter, and mixed zucchini bread batter four batches at a time so the weekend chefs could quickly measure and bake off loaves for brunch. The containers made large-scale prep logical and efficient.My time at the restaurant didn’t last long—turns out not everyone is cut out to be a professional baker—but I brought the Cambro habit back home with me. Once you use these chef-favorite polycarbonate containers…
