536: Jason Diamond’s Guide to NYC with Writer and Garlic Lover Jason Diamond

Today on the show, we welcome one of our favorite writers in the game, Jason Diamond . Jason writes the wonderful newsletter The Melt and has written two books, Searching for John Hughes and The Sprawl: Reconsidering the Weird American Suburbs . He’s also worked on the truly amazing New York Nico’s Guide to NYC , which we talk about in this great episode. We get into what Jason has been eating and reading, and the Jason Diamond way of life. I always enjoy catching up with Jason, and I hope you enjoy this episode. Also on the show, we catch up with Vivian Song . Vivian wrote a terrific piece in the New York Times , “ It’s Zinc Bar vs. Barista in a Paris Battle of the Buzz ,” and we hear all about the shifting coffee scene in Paris.
