In this month’s issue, our front and back cover story is with 4X James Beard Award Winner, Restaurateur, Hotelier, Entrepreneur, Best-Selling Author, TV Host/Personality, Philanthropist, and Food Advocate, Chef Todd English. We talked about how he got into the industry, his passion for food, and upcoming projects that we should keep an eye out for. We also chatted with Chef Kristen Kish to talk about her latest show which is available on National Geographic and streams on Disney+ Restaurants at the End of the World. In our interview last fall, we heard a bit about this show, but now we're able to find out how this project came together, where she traveled to, who she cooked with, and what she learned from this experience. With the final season of NBC's The Blacklist currently airing, we caught up with Hisham Tawfiq to talk about how a career in the Marines, being a Firefighter for the FDNY as well as a Correctional Officer in Sing Sing led to him being one of our favorite actors on this show. We also talked with Tetiana Gaidar a choreographer, dancer, and tactical trainer who recently appeared as the antagonist in BOSCH: Legacy as well as a trainer for Keanu Reeves in John Wick 4. She tells us how she got into the industry, and how she navigates between her skillsets and her upcoming projects.
We also have our editorial Weekend Muse which highlights looks from WFH, fitness, active and date night that we'll be wearing this spring. This shoot took place at The Muse New York Hotel in Times Square and includes some of our favorite items (MPG Sport, Dagne Dover, Tracksmith, Mavi Jeans, Athleisureverse, Sequin Jewelry, Fabletics, Athletic Propulsion Labs, Psycho Bunny, and Lagos). We also interviewed the General Manager of The Muse New York, Nicole Hendrix to talk about the building's history in the city, how it serves its guest, and what amenities it offers. They were great hosts and it was a fun shoot that included the suite as well as a large rooftop in order to showcase spring looks. Our team for this shoot included PHOTOGRAPHER Paul Farkas | STYLIST Kimmie Smith | MUA Hannah Lauren | HAIR STYLIST Brooke Bogle | MODELS/STATE MANAGEMENT Tora Rozario + Christopher Aldea.
