‘NYT Mini' Clues And Answers For Tuesday, April 29
NYT
The NYT Mini is a quick and dirty version of the newspaper's larger and long-running crossword. Most days, there are between three and five clues in each direction on a five by five grid, but the puzzles are sometimes larger, especially on Saturdays.
Unlike its larger sibling, the NYT Mini crossword is free to play on the New York Times website or NYT Games app. However, you'll need an NYT Games subscription to access previous puzzles in the archives.
The NYT Mini is a fun daily distraction that usually takes no time at all. I try to beat the standard weekday grid in less than a minute. But sometimes I can't quite figure out one or two clues and need to reveal the answer.
To help you avoid doing that, here are the NYT Mini Crossword answers (spoilers lie ahead, of course):
ACROSS
1) The "A" of MoMA - ART4) Like steak tartare and carpaccio - RAW5) Attire for wizards and judges - ROBES7) Warm shade of yellowish-orange - AMBER8) Most populous country in the Caribbean - HAITI9) Messy room, so to speak - STY
DOWN
1) Noted features of bakeries and candle shops - AROMAS2) What a magician might pull out of the [circled letters]

Another puzzle with a few circles in it today, making for a rather clever magic-based clue. Besides that, I didn't know that Haiti was the most populous country in the Caribbean in this puzzle, but I guess that's why we do these, huh? My colorblindness didn't help me with amber, certainly, but the robes, sty, sri and art clues were easy enough.

Where to find girl dinner in New Orleans
A small handful of New Orleans restaurants are now offering "girl dinner" specials, serving up price fixe meals in a nod to a delicious viral trend. Why it matters: The perfect restaurant order does exist. Catch up quick: The phenomenon may have always existed but it got a name when TikTok user Olivia Maher was — delightfully — on a self-described "hot girl walk" with a friend and thought up the title. Maher told the New York Times that the pair were extolling the virtues of a simple meal of bread and cheese. "It feels like such a girl dinner because we do it when our boyfriends aren't around and we don't have to have what's a 'typical dinner' — essentially, with a protein and a veggie and a starch," Ms. Maher said. The term caught on, and one of the most popular iterations of the meal is a salad, French fries and a cocktail or Diet Coke. Here's where to find girl dinner -inspired specials in New Orleans: 🍸 JusTini's offers " girl lunch" on weekdays from 11am to 3pm. The $25 deal includes a Caesar salad, truffle fries and a martini or lemon drop cocktail. 🍟 Junior's on Harrison offers $7 truffle fries, Caesar salads, martinis and frozen drinks on Thursdays.
