Jon Bon Jovi Is Making a Hamptons-Inspired Rosé

Bon Jovi gets in the wine game

In anticipation of all the summer rose drinking, singer Jon Bon Jovi has created a Hamptons-inspired rose called Diving Into Hampton Water.

Lobster Club a hit with Adam Platt

The first starred review for The Lobster Club — Major Food Group’s Japanese brasserie in Midtown’s Seagram Building — is out from New York magazine critic Adam Platt. He’s generally a fan, despite this not being the testy critic’s type of place, especially of curry-dusted chicken wings “so good I ended up ordering it twice” and the dragon roll. It’s two out of five stars for the art-inspired party spot. To instead enjoy lobster at home, watch the video below:
