DINING
I’m a vegetarian, and I just started eating at this vegan place in Venice, California, called Plant Food + Wine. It’s really clean, simply prepared food. The gem Caesar and the raw lasagna are really good, but the kelp noodle cacio e pepe (above) is my favorite dish.
FILM
Dr. Strangelove is amazing, but I’m also a big fan of Fail Safe, which came out the same year, 1964, and is less remembered. Both movies address Cold War paranoia. But whereas Dr. Strangelove was a parody, Fail Safe was serious, and very good in its own right.
