Fat Bear Week

30m Dinner Ideas + The Most Recommended Tea on Rec League

By Grier

Hi everyone,

New Yorkers! For those of you who have been active on Rec League recently, there’s something very special in your inbox and you’re going to want to open it!

We’re back at our desks after spending last week together dreaming about the future of Rec League! Good opportunity to thank you all for being part of this flourishing community and joining us in our project to build a better internet.

Gang’s all here!

Tea Time. This digestive tea is ALL OVER Rec League. Maybe you could serve it in this handsome teapot? Whadya say.

Match made in heaven.

Have been listening to this all week. 100 hrs of John Coltrane’s music for what would be his 100th birthday today. Tune in! This ends tonight at midnight.

Pleasing dinner recipes that can be made in 30m or less.

How to survive a break-up. You guys really came through on this one. These recs double as useful strategies for finding your footing again in life.

If you loathe loose cords and cables poking out of your carry-on and spilling out over every surface of your home, here is a widely-rec'd elegant solution.


BREAK ROOM
What the Rec League staff is talking about this week.

Fat Bear Week.

Hometown hero Zoe Latta’s banger collaboration: Eckhaus Latta x J.Crew. Zoe was one of the first people to take a chance on Rec League back when we were just a website. Back before we thought, wait! Maybe it should be an app!

Read our Q&A with Zoe on Inst*gr*m later today.

Writer, poet, and Esquire contributor Matt Medendorp’s incredible audit of men’s sweaters.

Congratulations to Tahryn for winning Rec of the Week last week for turning cardboard boxes into play food. May you don your prize ribbon with pride!

People we think you should follow...

  • LaTonya... come for what she’s doing, stay for what she’s reading.
  • Kathryn... come for the skincare, stay for two perfect pairs of shoes.
  • Jess... come for the handmade goods, stay for the silver treasures.

Have a great rest of your week.
