These days, it feels very different to be Arab, or Iranian, or Muslim in New York. Over the past decade, a new generation of artists, chefs, comedians, designers, and others have built unprecedented cultural and political capital. Together, they’re what you might call a *scene.*

Where the diasporas once seemed siloed, the new Southwest Asia and North Africa (SWANA) scene is increasingly united across identities — Iraqi, Yemeni, Egyptian, Sudanese, Mauritanian, Afghan — and bound together by shared values. It was born out of the pain of the genocide in Gaza, which has led many young people to search for community in the city and build it where it didn’t exist. They found it at protests and in bars and cafés, at comedy shows and clothing pop-ups and fundraisers that turned into all-day hangs. And they found it in the election of the city’s first Muslim mayor and in the Syrian American First Lady.

Our latest issue is an attempt to capture the people and places who are defining this era. Explore this special SWANA edition, including a dispatch from its thriving party circuit, a report on how the Middle Eastern restaurant scene has evolved, and more: https://t.co/xv7EQMsgle

We're fighting back against the illegal decision to terminate seven of our colleagues.

@NBCNews asked for an after-the-fact bargaining session, but their lawyers showed up empty-handed. No managers attended, but we did!

@thenickguy Not a tour, per se, but if you’re interested in a day trip idea: highly recommend grabbing a train up to Gerona and returning by way of Blanes — easily and casually doable morning to evening and worth every minute of walking through both

Experts told us “oils and sediment in coffee brewed with a French press may increase caffeine content,” which clearly means I’m exclusively using a French press from here on out. More about how to use and buy these brewers in my latest for @ShopwithSelect ☕️

I started my small business when I was 16 and people thought I was nuts. But the support, mentorship and friendship I received from other women-owned businesses made me believe in myself. That’s what I’m grateful for this #InternationalWomensDay and every day of the year

When many corporate partners took the @15PercentPledge, less than 3% of their shelf space was dedicated to Black-owned brands.

I learned so much about how shoppers can join the Pledge alongside retailers and which companies committed to it in my latest for @ShopwithSelect

If you suffer from chronically dry skin, odds are you’re intimately familiar with hyaluronic acid.
