Located on 11th Street in the East Village, Russo’s first opened its doors in 1908. The pocket-size, charmingly old-school Italian deli and grocery specializes in homemade mozzarella, sauces, and pasta. It also offers meats and cheeses imported from Italy, specialty condiments, and a full sandwich menu. If you’re in the cooking mood, grab a bag of rigatoni, a jar of vodka sauce, and some of Russo’s signature mozzarella to top it all off. For a hearty meal on the go, order the Italiano Sandwich, which contains prosciutto, tomato, fresh basil, and (obviously) mozzarella. (instagram.com) —Paulina Prosnitz

For the past 127 years, Filson has been making outdoorsy men’s wear and accessories—including the rugged twill briefcases and bags that, for a time, seemed to be carried by nearly every hipster in Manhattan. Now the Seattle-based brand is adding women’s wear to the mix with 32 styles comprising outerwear, bags, and flannel shirts in forest-friendly shades of orange and red. Our first purchase will be the Barn Coat, a water-resistant outdoor jacket made of Filson’s midweight shelter cloth, which is coated in oil to repel water and should develop a very nice patina as the years go on.

Some of us refuse to accept that summertime is almost over. Luckily, a new collaboration between Apartamento and Belmond offers a way to stay in that denial phase (and at the Italian coast) a little longer. The magazine and hotel group’s debut cookbook, Liguria: Recipes & Wanderings Along the Italian Riviera, focuses on Italy’s northwestern region, known for its colorful fishing villages, sea cliffs, and olive groves. Chef Corrado Corti, who has headed the kitchens at Splendido, a Belmond property in Portofino, since 1999, shares 24 recipes inspired by the hotel’s restaurants. Laura Jane Coulson’s landscape photographs and portraits complement Corti’s text, as well as two guest recipes from cooks Max Rocha and Fanny Singer, chef Alice Waters’s daughter. The book also features an introduction by Ruth Rogers, the owner of London’s River Cafe, and essays by food writers Luca Cesari and Andy Baraghani. Buon appetito!

At long last, Americans in London have the kind of restaurant that provides an elevated and sophisticated taste of home. At The Park—across the road from Kensington Gardens, in the bustling neighborhood of Bayswater—the Chicago-style hot dogs, soda floats, and ice-cream sundaes are only a few of the crowd-pleasers. This “new world grand café” by British restaurateur Jeremy King, impresario of the beau monde hangout Arlington, also serves schnitzel, grilled swordfish, and other delicious entrées. They can be paired with the remarkable wine list—which features some intriguing options from California that make it very tempting to order a few bottles. (Just to try!) If all of this doesn’t remedy your homesickness, well, then even a trip back to the States on the Concorde (may it rest in peace) won’t help. (theparkrestaurant.com) —Ashley Baker

American sportswriter and video producer Jon Bois has established himself as a cross between Adam Curtis and Ken Burns among YouTubers. While Bois’s style may seem terminally boring—his nonfiction projects utilize simple charts, graphs, and visualized timelines to build a labyrinthine collage as he narrates, accompanied by perfectly generic library music (courtesy of old commercial labels such as KPM)—he somehow makes this wonky aesthetic deeply compelling in a cinematic fashion. While most of his subjects are sport-related, such as 2018’s five-part M.M.A. examination Fighting in the Age of Loneliness or 2020’s nearly four-hour-long epic The History of the Seattle Mariners, his most recent series, Reform!, is about Ross Perot’s third political party of the same name. The all-over-the-place cast of characters includes Pat Buchanan, Ralph Nader, Jesse Ventura, and Donald Trump. Deeply engrossing, illuminating, not to mention very funny, part one is streaming for free on YouTube, while parts two and three will be available starting in September. (youtube.com) —Spike Carter

In 1971, shortly before he was appointed to the Supreme Court by Richard Nixon, Lewis F. Powell Jr. wrote a memo to the American Chamber of Commerce urging business leaders to fight the prevailing liberal agenda, particularly on college campuses, and protect the corporate interests that he had championed before becoming a judge. A new podcast, Master Plan, by David Sirota, the founder and editor of crusading news site The Lever, traces how that memo served as a blueprint for a conservative revanche that now seems almost irreversible. Even before Donald Trump appointed his confederates to the Supreme Court, the 2010 Citizens United decision had already upended any meaningful campaign-finance restrictions. Sirota, who co-wrote the dystopian satire Don’t Look Up, has a flair for conspiracy theories, but they are hard to dismiss at a time when a Trump-aligned majority overturned Roe v. Wade and, most recently, ruled that the president has almost limitless immunity from criminal prosecution. (podcasts.apple.com) —Alessandra Stanley
