Kendall Jenner's tequila brand is hosting a West Village bar crawl for the Solstice
We did it! Tomorrow is summer solstice, the longest day of the year. To celebrate our extra hours, sun-loving New Yorkers can soak up sizzling rays on Manhattan's new beach, party like a Swede, or (perhaps most enticing) sip the best margaritas in NYC.
If Kendal Jenner has her way, all the West Village girlies and their besties will flock to her tequila-fueled bar crawl across Lower Manhattan. Beginning Friday, June 20, the notorious star's liquor brand 818 Tequila will host a 'Sip Into Summer' series all weekend long, featuring notable watering holes like historic White Horse Tavern and full glam Sweet Linda, among others mapped below.
Slip out of the office early to toast the official start of summer with tequila cocktails like spicy watermelon margaritas and tequila mules — maybe encourage your coworkers to cut loose, too. Even St. Tropez Wine Bar, the Provençal grape destination, created a custom cocktail called Spicy Solstice to set your summer nights ablaze.
Of course, event organizers hope you hop across lower Manhattan to taste every agave concoction, but you could always park it at your favorite spot to take full advantage of happy hour drink specials. Downtown at Blue Haven South, the 818 Daisy (tequila, citrus, liqueur) is only $12, while White Horse Tavern will be slinging refreshing cucumber margaritas for $17. Most other drinks on the boozy path ring up between $19 and $22.

Inside New York's 'Pigeon Fest' where impersonators battle for title
A famous New York landmark was overrun with pigeons this week. The Big Apple is known for a lot of great things – the Empire State Building, world-class entertainment and famous faces. But one crucial piece of New York is often overlooked: the humble pigeon. The bird has gotten a lot more attention in recent months, thanks to a new statue installed at New York's High Line. The sculpture, a 17-foot-tall pigeon dubbed 'Dinosaur' by Ivan Argote, has brought pigeon lovers around the world to 30th Street and 10th Avenue. Cashing in on this pigeon-mania, the High Line decided to hold a pigeon pageant on National Pigeon Appreciation Day. Dozens of New Yorkers showed up in full costume, feathers and all, to compete for the crown prize. 13-year-old Athena told the New York Times pigeons were beautiful and fun to learn about: 'What's not to love?' A small pigeon in a red bow tie, along with dozens of participants and eager onlookers, took part in Pigeon Fest last Saturday. Contestants were judged by ornithologists on their impressions of pigeons – some even threw bread and attempted to peck at it. Categories included 'plumage', 'strut' and 'coo'. One contestant, dubbed 'Carrie Beakshaw' (a play on Sex And The City's Carrie Bradshaw) performed a monologue. But the crown was given to Miriam Abrahams, a volunteer at the Wild Bird Fund, which has thousands of pigeons they take care of. Her costume was incredibly lifelike, and she said she took a month to make it, even laying an egg during her performance. The bizarre festival is said to be a one-off, as the statue which brought everyone together will only be on display until next spring. But artist Argote said: 'The pigeon is an icon, somehow, of the margins, so it attracts a lot of people who are either involved with pigeons literally or feel represented by its complexity. 'It goes way beyond the work. As a sculptor and as an artist, you try to create something, but as soon as it gets into the community, it becomes more meaningful.' More Trending The love for pigeons isn't contained to just New York – in Cardiff, a dad who saved a pigeon from drowning welcomed the bird into his family and takes him for walks on a leash. Philip Weston-Thomas was on a walk around Roath Park Lake in Cardiff with his wife Rebecca and 14-year-old daughter one January when his daughter spotted the bird struggling in the freezing water. Philip jumped into action and scooped up the pigeon, which was freezing, shaking and 'on its last legs'. The family took the bird, whom they named Bobbi, home with them and nursed him back to health.

Six new writers announced for Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize 2025 Shortlist
From tales of first love to hedonistic holidays, the 2025 Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize shortlist reveals six new voices in fiction, including a first-ever nomination for a translated novel The 2025 Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize shortlist has finally been announced and it features novels spanning across a vast range of topics and genres. Currently in its fourth year, the Debut Fiction Prize is voted for by Waterstones booksellers, with the honour being awarded to exceptional debut novels and highlights the value of discovering and championing new talent. Serving as an extension to booksellers' word-of-mouth recommendations, the award celebrates fiction in all its forms. Six debut novels and their authors have been shortlisted this year, including a first-ever nomination for a translated book. From rural Ireland to the Provençal countryside, straight into the heart of London and New York's metropolis via a holy Indian river and then through a Swedish cabin — this year's shortlist takes readers to lands far and beyond. Waterstones Head of Books, Bea Carvalho, said in a statement: 'We are delighted to present six astonishingly impressive and inspiring new voices as this year's nominees. "Our shortlist tackles weighty themes and has a lot of fun along the way, celebrating art and transgression, first love and hedonistic summer holidays, and the joy of chosen family. We love these books and look forward to championing these six writers for a long time to come.' After being announced as last year's winner, Glorious Exploits by Ferdia Lennon quickly soared up the bestseller charts and provided Ferdia with a much larger platform — leading to several accolades and further recognition for the debut author. Ferdia went on to get nominated for many major prizes including the Waterstones Book of the Year, the BAMB Fiction award, the Dylan Thomas Prize, and the Nero Book Awards. Before Ferdia Lennon's 2024 win, the Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize was awarded to Alice Winn in 2023 for her novel In Memoriam and to Tess Gunty's The Rabbit Hutch in 2022. Tess' novel also went on to win the 2022 National Book Award for Fiction, while Tess bagged the Indiana Authors Awards in 2024. Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize 2025 Shortlist Confessions by Catherine Airey Mining girlhood, womanhood and the delicate spot in between with elegance and urgency, Airey's striking debut follows a teenager orphaned by the 9/11 attack as she comes in contact with her estranged family in small town Ireland. Ordinary Saints by Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin Provocative, funny and mercilessly observant, Niamh Ní Mhaoileoin's striking debut novel mines the complexities of familial love and grief through richly layered characters who wrestle with questions of faith and belonging in present-day Ireland. Sunstruck by William Rayfet Hunter Sensual yet searing, Hunter's acutely observed novel mines themes of race, status and identity, as a working-class Black man attempts to navigate the opulent world of a wealthy family. Saraswati by Gurnaik Johal Blending political satire with ecological parable, Gurnaik Johal's bold, capacious debut finds the lives of seven individuals transformed, as an ancient sacred river springs back to life in a rapidly changing contemporary India. When the Cranes Fly South by Lisa Ridzén, translated by Alice Menzies A bestselling sensation in Ridzén's native Sweden, When the Cranes Fly South is a beautifully bittersweet novel about an ageing man desperate to mend his relationship with his son before it's too late. The Artist by Lucy Steeds Richly evocative of a Provencal summer, Steeds' masterly 1920s-set character study focuses on an enigmatic painter, the young British journalist set on penning a piece on him and the artist's unworldly niece - who harbours an unexpected secret. The Waterstones Debut Fiction Prize 2025 winner will be announced on Thursday, July 24.
