I’m heading to the this evening for what sounds like a pretty fab event — it’s the season launch of Person Place Thing, a series hosted by former New York Times Ethicist Randy Cohen that’s described as “an interview show in which one amazing guest tells three insightful and often hilarious stories.”
Tonight’s amazing guest is cookbook author and longtime (now former) New York Times columnist Mark Bittman, who recently left the paper “to do what I’ve been writing about these many years: to make it easier for people to eat more plants,” he wrote in a farewell column in September.
Bittman is the author of the bestselling, award-winning “How to Cook Everything,” among many other cookbooks. His most recent, out this week, is “Mark Bittman’s Kitchen Matrix.”
Tickets are still available for the event, which starts at 7:30 p.m. Maybe I’ll see you there.

"Why I became the Forward’s Editor-in-Chief"
You are surely a friend of the Forward if you’re reading this. And so it’s with excitement and awe — of all that the Forward is, was, and will be — that I introduce myself to you as the Forward’s newest editor-in-chief.
And what a time to step into the leadership of this storied Jewish institution! For 129 years, the Forward has shaped and told the American Jewish story. I’m stepping in at an intense time for Jews the world over. We urgently need the Forward’s courageous, unflinching journalism — not only as a source of reliable information, but to provide inspiration, healing and hope.
Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
