WHEN EUSTACE MET FRANÇOISE — I first met Françoise Mouly at The New Yorker’s old Times Square offices. This was way back when artists used to deliver illustrations in person. I had stopped by to turn in a spot drawing and was introduced to Françoise, their newly-minted cover art editor. I should have been intimidated, but I was fresh off the boat …

A 5-STAR MAGAZINE (DO NOT DISTURB) — Orlando is the magazine as hotel, quite literally—we’ll explain what that means in a bit—a magazine that one can inhabit and live in, a love letter to culture in the most expansive use of the word. It’s also very Italian. Maybe because it comes from Italy. More specifically, from the mind of Antonella Dellepiane…

ONE CITY AT A TIME — There are two kinds of travelers. The first group are those that need to see as many attractions as they can. The second are those that would rather wander around, get a feel for the place they’re visiting, and live as much like a local as possible. Neither is better. There’s no judgement here. But the people who are behind the…

A MODERN MAGAZINE EDITOR IN A POST-MAGAZINE WORLD — In the media storm that is 2025, the person you want captaining your ship is smart, decisive, and cool, calm, and collected—in other words, she’s Nikki Ogunnaike. The editor-in-chief of Marie Claire, whom we got to know when we worked together at Elle, is the very model of a modern magazine editor…

THE PURPOSE OF TRAVEL — The world is adrift in travel magazines that tell you to go here and stay there, to order certain foods at “of-the-moment” restaurants. And when you go to these places you find yourself surrounded by other travelers like you, and the only locals you interact with are, maybe, the waiter, or your Airbnb host, or the tour guide…

FOOD IS FOR EVERYONE — That meal your grandmother always cooked. Or your mother. Or your father, for that matter. The odors that permeated a kitchen or the entire house. The first taste. The idea of comfort food. So much of who we are and what we remember are about food, sure, but also about place, and most definitely about the person doing the coo…

LOST IN TRANSLATOR — There are more than 7,000 languages in the world and there’s a good chance that you don’t speak or read most of them. Being an English-language speaker is, among other things, a huge privilege in this multilingual world because while it may not be the most widely spoken first language, English is the language that is most widel…

POP GOES PRINT — “Today, creativity feels like it’s being squeezed into smaller and smaller boxes.

SHE LOVES HER WORK — The word ‘unicorn’ gets thrown around a lot these days. But in our book, Sarah Ball is the Real Deal. The editor of WSJ. Magazine is a student of old-guard, in-the-trenches, work-on-a-story-for-years magazine making, which has earned her cred among the Jim Nelsons and David Grangers of the biz. She’s also a digital native with …

A NEW RECIPE FOR FOOD MAGAZINES — You may think a magazine called Famous for My Dinner Parties would be about food or entertaining—and I wouldn’t blame you if you did. You wouldn’t be wrong, but you also wouldn’t be right. Taking its name from Robert Altman’s film, 3 Women, Famous for My Dinner Parties started as a pandemic-inspired digital project…

THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT — While it’s not true that kids don’t read, it may be true that adults aren’t teaching kids to read. It’s also true that today’s children face issues that those of the past didn’t. And the pandemic—there’s that word again—impacted everyone in ways we’re still figuring out, including kids. Perhaps especially kids. There are, ama…

THE REST OF THE STORY — Most people in the world live in what we in the west sometimes dismissively call the “rest of the world.” Depending on where you live, “the rest” probably includes parts, if not all, of Latin America, Africa, and the vast majority of Asia.

IMAGINE FRIENDSGIVING AS A MAGAZINE — The pandemic hit New York first and harder and longer than most places.

THE ROADS LESS TRAVELED — Much of travel media comes with a kind of sheen to it. A gloss.

And while Afar has plenty of both, it just feels a bit different. It is not a magazine that…

GOOD TROUBLE — Troublemakers is a magazine about society’s misfits. At least from the Japanese point of view. A bilingual, English/Japanese magazine, Troublemakers came about as a way to showcase people who were different, who stayed true to themselves, or about the long road those people had taken to self-acceptance. The founders, editor Yuto Miya…
