Spaghetti con le sarde senza sarde. This dish ticks all my boxes of seasonal terrior with wild fennel and zucchini flowers plus the exotic luxury of Umbrian saffron, almonds and raisins. Then a dusting of bottarga.

A weekend we can all love!❤️

Bank of America cardholders gain free access to the NBWM this weekend.

Explore Candice Smith-Corby and William Pettit's installation "Now & Soon & Somehow Forever."

The installation blends fiction and reality in a heartwarming story of two lovers separated by the sea. Like whaling families of the past, the Atlantic Ocean separated Corby and Pettit for a long time. While one in Massachusetts and one in Italy, the couple collaborated on this epic installation.

"Now & Soon & Somehow Forever" runs until November 26, 2023.
