By Eric Asimov, The New York Times When we stopped in for dinner last spring at the Wren, a wonderful new gastro pub in Baltimore, my wife, Deborah, ordered a Bloody Mary. The bartender looked surprised, but recovered quickly and asked, “Gin or vodka?” Now it was my turn to be surprised. Gin in a Bloody Mary? Never heard of it. The bartender proceeded to mix up a drink (with vodka) that Deborah called the most exquisite Bloody Mary she’d ever had. It was superb — the spicy jabs from the Tabasco and horseradish, the sweet umami of the tomato…

A new lawsuit filed Tuesday by officials in Colorado and other Democratic states seeks to uncork emergency money to help tens of millions of Americans keep buying food for their families after federal SNAP funding is expected to run dry Saturday due to the U.S. government shutdown. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, helps about one in eight Americans buy groceries. A halt to SNAP benefits would leave a gaping hole in the country’s safety net. Vulnerable families could see federal money dry up soon for some other programs, as well. Funding for a group of Head Start preschool…

Harrison Properties, a Phoenix-based real estate company, has entered the Denver industrial market with the acquisition of a 1.6 million square feet spanning 16 buildings across two sites in the central Denver area. The portfolio includes the Upland Distribution Portfolio and Denver Business Center, and is the largest industrial transaction on record in Colorado since 2022, according to CBRE. “Transactions of this size are rarely seen in just one market,” said CBRE Executive Vice President Jeremy Ballenger. “With this magnitude, we originally marketed with the option of splitting the portfolio between the two industrial parks. Harrison understood the great tenant…

A woman died Tuesday morning in a single-vehicle crash on northbound Interstate 25 in Lone Tree that backed up traffic for hours amid the morning commute, according to law enforcement. Two lanes of northbound I-25 were closed at exit 192 for RidgeGate Parkway in Lone Tree for hours after the fatal crash, according to the Colorado Department of Transportation. All lanes of the northbound highway had reopened by 10:25 a.m., Lone Tree spokesperson Melissa Gallegos said. The lane closures caused roughly six miles of standstill traffic on the highway during Tuesday morning rush hour, according to CDOT. Cameras in the…

Crackling leaves and nippy mornings, early sunsets and football games. These are sure signs of fall. But it’s a walk through a farmer’s market or the aisles of a supermarket’s produce section, that fires up my longing to cook autumn-style dishes. Autumn’s pear crop is always a showstopper. Initially, it’s their voluptuous contours that captivate. The long, slender necks and arched stems of Bosc pears, the round, silhouette of Comice. The gentle curves of the bell-shaped Bartlett. In the marketplace most often, they are as hard as boulders. They feel more like baseballs than fruit. Not a whisper of sublime…

Today is Tuesday, Oct. 28, the 301st day of 2025. There are 64 days left in the year. Today in history: On Oct. 28, 1886, the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the people of France, was dedicated in New York Harbor by President Grover Cleveland. Also on this date: In 1636, the General Court of Massachusetts passed a legislative act establishing Harvard College. In 1858, Rowland Hussey Macy opened his first New York store at Sixth Avenue and 14th Street in Manhattan. In 1919, Congress passed the Volstead Act, which provided the means for enforcement of a Prohibition era…

LOS ANGELES — Freddie Freeman homered leading off the bottom of the 18th inning, Shohei Ohtani went deep twice in another record-setting performance and the Los Angeles Dodgers outlasted the Toronto Blue Jays 6-5 in Game 3 on Monday night to win a World Series classic. The defending champion Dodgers took a 2-1 lead in the best-of-seven matchup and still have a chance to win the title at home — something they haven’t done since 1963. Freeman connected off left-hander Brendon Little, sending a 406-foot drive to straightaway center field to finally end a game that lasted 6 hours, 39…

Which men’s kimono robes are best? A kimono is a traditional Japanese robe that is often loose-fitting, lightweight, and features elaborate decorative designs and detail. Kimonos were once an everyday garment akin to a suit or a nice dress, but they are not as common today as they once were. Kimono robes have become more popular in Western culture because they embrace the most popular features of the traditional kimono and a classic bathrobe. Kimono robes can differ in size and style, but our top pick is the IZOD Waffle-Knit Kimono Robe. What to know before you buy men’s kimono…

Boulder’s police radios will no longer be available for curious minds and ears starting Tuesday. Up until now, anyone interested in what the Boulder Police Department was doing could go to a police scanner website, such as Broadcastify, and listen in on conversations between officers and dispatchers. That poses security concerns and is less efficient for big operations, according to BPD spokesperson Dionne Waugh. That’s why a new radio system the department is switching to Tuesday will not be accessible for the public to listen in with ease anymore. The new radio system already is used by many of the…
