Chipotle Founder's Fast-Casual Sandwich Shop Is Opening Two New Locations
Fast-casual sandwich shop Counter Service is on track to open two more locations this year. The first is coming to Noho at 15 East Fourth Street, at Lafayette Street, starting on Monday, August 25. Then there's one set for the Upper East Side's Lennox Hill neighborhood at 1302 First Avenue, near East 70th Street, in the late fall.
Expect Counter Service's compact, jam-packed breakfast and lunch sandwiches, such as the Smokehouse with roasted chicken, smoky barbecue sauce, and jalapeños in three ways: pickled, roasted, and smoked; and the veggie Gigante with braised chard, kale, and white beans, broccoli rabe, and melted fontina, Parm, and provolone cheeses. Chipotle founder Steve Ells started his growing fast-casual chain earlier this year, a pivot of his short-lived vegan robot restaurant Kernel, in Greenwich Village.
Fine-dining U.S. Open watch parties
Upper East Side fine-dining restaurant Daniel is turning its private dining room into a high-end U.S. Open watch party space next month. The Evian Club is a collaboration with the water brand and its global brand ambassador, American tennis player Frances Tiafoe, along with chef Daniel Boulud. The space is meant to feel like you're actually at the matches while enjoying passed canapés, family-style dishes, and screenings of the tennis competition. Dishes include shrimp and peach salad, Texas wagyu sliders, and Alaskan king salmon. It runs from Wednesday, September, through Sunday, September 7; reservations can be booked online. There will also be an iteration of the dishes available for national shipping through Goldbelly.

It's available through Saturday, September 13, at Attaboy's Lower East Side location and Veselka's East Williamsburg restaurant.

Jack White-Trump Feud Erupts Over Gold Oval Office
Jack White and the Trump administration are beefing — again. Donald Trump recently remodeled the Oval Office, covering everything in those gold medallion-thingys, little gold cherub babies, basically gold everything, and people are not happy about it. Jack, a 12-time Grammy award-winning musician, is one of those people. He can't stand Trump's "vulgar" transformation of the Oval Office. "Look at how disgusting trump has transformed the historic White House. It's now a vulgar, gold leafed and gaudy, professional wrestler's dressing room," Jack wrote in an Aug. 19 Instagram post. "Can't wait for the UFC match on the front lawn too, he's almost fully achieved the movie 'Idiocracy.'" The guitarist, who released six studio albums as a solo artist after The White Stripes disbanded, pointed out the president's "disgusting taste," suggesting he's a "conman" who shouldn't be trusted with nuclear codes. "Also pictured in this photograph, a REAL leader of a nation in a black suit," he finished, referencing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky sitting beside Trump. The White House caught wind of Jack's viral insult and responded. Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, reportedly told The Daily Beast that Jack is "a washed up, has-been loser posting drivel on social media because he clearly has ample time on his hands due to his stalled career." Defending the president's "guady" gold room, Steven apparently said, "It's apparent he's been masquerading as a real artist, because he fails to appreciate, and quite frankly disrespects, the splendor and significance of the Oval Office inside of 'The People's House.'"' Jack, set to be inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame this year with Meg White (the other half of the White Stripes), had a lengthy response to the White House's rather brutal rebuttal in an Aug. 20 Instagram post. "Funny that it wasn't me calling out trump's blatant facist manipulation of government, his gestapo ICE tactics, his ractist remarks about Latinos, Native Americans, etc.," he wrote before listing a laundry list of allegations against Trump and his administration including "ignorance of dying children in Sudan, Gaza, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and "constant lying to the American people." "No, it wasn't me calling out any of that, it was the fucking DECOR OF THE OVAL OFFICE remarks I made that got them to respond with insults. How petty and pathetic and thin-skinned could this administration get?" Jack said. In response to the claim Jack is "masquerading as a real artist" he said, "trump is masquerading as a human being." "He's masquerading as a christian, as a leader, as a person with actual empathy. He's been masquerading as a businessman for decades as nothing he's involved in has propsered except by using other people's money to find a loophole after loophole and grift after grift," Jack continued before criticizing Trump's supporters. In the caption of the Instagram post alongside several jarring photos of recent Trump-related news, Jack wrote, "I was raised to believe that we defeated fascism in World War II and that we would never allow it again in the world." Jack's response received praise from some celebrities. Comedian and actor Patton Oswalt wrote, "You hit a fuckin' nerve 'cuz they don't put out statements this length for earthquakes and shootings. Keep going." Actor Beverly D'Angelo wrote, "Thank you Jack. As you always have done, you've given a voice to those who for whatever reason ( including current culturally endemic oppression ) really need it. I needed this. I'm with you. PREACH" Actor Adam Goldberg told Jack to "Keep it up!! 👍 👏" Jack's been a longtime critic of Trump and his administration. Meg and Jack had filed a lawsuit against Trump's 2024 re-election campaign for the use of their hit song "Seven Nation Army." While the lawsuit was dropped, Jack's been rather vocal about his dislike of Trump on social media. Following Trump's 2024 victory over vice president Kamala Harris, Jack was part of several celebrities, including Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Cardi B, who spoke out against the Republican victory. Jack wrote in a Nov. 6, 2024, Instagram post, "Trump won the popular vote. End of story. Americans chose a known, obvious fascist and now America will get whatever this wannabe dictator wants to enact from here on in. We all know what he is capable of: Project 2025, deportations, nationwide abortion ban, ending his own 2 term limit, backing Putin and his war, shutting down the Board of Education, adding to climate change, limiting LGBTQ rights, controlling the DOJ, keeping the minimum wage down, etc. etc. etc.." Jack went on to criticize the "rich pricks riding in their Cybertrucks listening to their Rogan and Bannon and Alex jones podcasts laughing all the way to the bank looking foraward to their tax cuts that don't apply to the middle class." What are your thoughts? Let us know in the comments.

Tennis star Sachia Vickery defends having OnlyFans account: ‘Easiest money I've ever made'
Pro tennis player Sachia Vickery is drawing major attention both on the court and off as she competes in the U.S. Open 2025 qualifiers while defending her career on OnlyFans. During an Instagram Q&A amid her qualifier run in New York City, the 30-year-old Florida native, who is ranked No. 559, wrote, 'I'm very open-minded and I don't care what people think of me,' calling OnlyFans 'the easiest money I've ever made.' Vickery said she also has a newfound respect for fellow creators on the platform. 'I will never talk s*** about girls on OnlyFans ever again for the rest of my life,' she added, citing how overwhelmed she was by the revenue she made in just her first two days on the platform. A representative for Vickery clarified to The Independent that her OnlyFans content remains suggestive rather than explicit and should not be considered 'sex work.' They stressed there is 'no full nudity or sexual acts performed' on her page, asserting that reports elsewhere misrepresented her content. They also noted that Vickery "was off 6 months due to a major injury and in that time, OnlyFans was pursued, tennis was not stopped to go into OnlyFans." Also on her Instagram Stories, Vickery revealed her new dating policy, which includes a mandatory $1,000 pre-date deposit. "I no longer date for free due to the behavior of men...I now require a pre-date deposit send me 1,000 and we can make it happen my cashapp is $Sachiavick," she said, according to The Daily Mail Hours later, Vickery shared a screenshot of a $1,000 CashApp credit labeled 'go out on a date.' "Y'all thought I was joking," Vickery wrote over the screenshot, per the outlet. "1k pre date deposit is now my requirement I no longer date for free due to male behavior think if it as a future investment like this gentlemen." Vickery's male counterparts, Alexandre Müller and Nick Kyrgios, also post content on OnlyFans. Vickery's next match in the U.S. Open qualifiers is Thursday at 11 a.m. against German Ella Seidel.
