Venezuela is making headlines for two very different reasons. First, for the capture of its dictator, Nicolás Maduro, by the Trump administration in the wee hours of the morning last week. Second, for the release of the sixth album by the Grammy Award–winning independent reggae-psychedelic-electronic-funk band, Rawayana. The country’s trailblazing music group is a four-piece made up of lead singer Beto, Tony on bass, Fofo on drums, and Abeja on guitar. Released on New Year’s Eve, the record plays like a never-ending celebration, its title posing a simple question: “Where is the after-party?” (spotify.com) —Carolina de Armas

Groping around on your knees in the mud has never seemed quite so elegant as it does at Gardenheir, a gardening-apparel store in the Catskills town of Windham. The shop is thick with Hori Hori knives and Sneeboer broadforks, but don’t panic if those words mean nothing to you! Just as you don’t need to play polo to shop at Ralph Lauren, you hardly need a garden to delve into Gardenheir’s many delights. Its apparel section is thick with Japanese denim smocks, Italian clogs, and Le Laboureur patchwork jackets, while its desktop goods are a gift giver’s joy, with floral-scented pencils and Japanese botanical paperweights. Don’t sleep on its heirloom section, either—a collection of rustic, foraged objects that would look just right on a shelf by the door in your unapologetically urban apartment.

Quick quiz: Where can you see more bird species, Yellowstone National Park or New York City? Whether you guessed correctly or not (and the answer is N.Y.C., with more than 400 types), Ryan Goldberg’s Bird City is essential reading for anyone who wants to discover what makes the five boroughs so hospitable to feathered migrants, from the Blackburnian warbler to the gray kingbird, to, yes, the male mandarin duck that famously made its home in Central Park in 2018. Goldberg writes about his adventures tracking birds (and birders!) across the city with engaging enthusiasm. Pro tip: get out the binoculars for a few days in early May for the best sightings. If the book has a paramount message for New Yorkers, it’s this: stop, look up, and prepare to be amazed. ($28, hachettebookgroup.com) —Jim Kelly

The sun is shining. The slopes are powdery. You’ve been skiing since first chair and you’re not ready to call it for aprés just yet. But your hands! They feel frostbitten despite the HotHands hand warmers tucked inside your gloves (courtesy of the base rental shop). If only you’d opted for these supple deerskin gloves from Loro Piana, both water-repellent and insulated with cashmere and cotton. The Blue Sky Gloves are stylish and, more importantly, warm—meaning your day on the mountain ends at 4:00 P.M. and not a minute sooner. ($912, loropiana.com) —Carolina de Armas
