Aly's Newsletter: We Made It To Hump Day!
Good morning, friends!
Last night, I attended an amazing intimate media preview dinner in celebration of Sushi Lab's upcoming The Chemistry Room. Omakase was always a very rare treat, even before the pandemic, so I especially appreciated last night's absolutely masterful 13 courses.
The Chemistry Room opens tomorrow night (at The Sanctuary Hotel in NYC) and I highly recommend checking it out!
Click through this Instagram post from last night below to see the menu we enjoyed last night and some of my sushi pix!
Enough about my dinner. Here's what I'm working on:
1. For Clean Plates, I'm doing a story on what to look for in a healthy chicken nugget (the kind you can buy in the freezer aisle but also what you are making yourself at home) - I'd love an RD or a nutritionist to reach out so I can explain what I'm working on and ask them a few questions, please. Thanks! Email me at alywalansky@gmail.com please. Thanks!
2. For RetailMeNot, I'm rounding up ugly Christmas sweaters that are ACTUALLY pretty great. If you have one to pitch me, please include a link to where it is sold, price, description, and what makes it a great ugly Christmas sweater when you pitch. Please send pitches to alywalansky@gmail.com by Friday!
3. For Spy.com, all the stories I was working on this week are wrapped up except for Best Home Decor Finds on Wayfair and also Best Places To Buy Rugs Online. Still accepting pitches for those two through tomorrow.
