Savoy Tivoli • North Beach • c.1907 🇮🇹🍻🎭🎸 The Savoy is one of a kind. When I lived in North Beach, I always loved taking visitors here for a nightcap. It’s been reinventing itself for a century plus … boarding house, Italian community hub, saloon, Beat poet cafe, punk venue (Jefferson Airplane and The Ramones played here), even the original home of Beach Blanket Babylon. Today it carries all those eras at once. And when those windows are open, the history, music, and chatter spill out and pull you right in. 🙌

Busy Monday in my studio, hampered by two of the laziest interns you could ever employ.

John’s Roast Pork • South Philly • c.1930 🐷 Philadelphia’s sandwich culture is legendary, and it goes well beyond the cheesesteak. John’s is a family-owned shop that mastered the art … thin-sliced, lightly-spiced, impeccably baked local bread, James Beard Awards, and a massively dedicated following. The steaks are top notch … but I couldn’t not get the pork. Wow. 🙏

John’s of Bleecker Street, West Village, c.1929 🍕💯 The word “iconic” gets thrown around a lot these days, and I’m definitely guilty of it … but when it comes to pizza, this place lives up to it. Serving locals (and a who’s who of celebs) for almost 100 years. OMG that crust 🙌
