The Croissant Club is back with ramen croissants, mozz-filled pastries and more
This year we've happily welcomed all manner of carb to the city, waistlines be damned. The winter brought a second location of Radio Bakery to Brooklyn, drawing hour-long lines in Prospect Heights, while people flocked to the East Village for the cinnamon-bun-only shop, Sunday Morning. Spring ushered in glossy ube doughnuts from online bakeshop turned brick-and-mortar Kora, while the burekas-only destination Buba Bureka generated buzz in Greenwich Village. And while not new, one of our favorite bakeries is now bringing back its croissants-only club, giving us plenty reason to celebrate. Raf's Croissant Club is officially back for spring and summer 2025, and for its latest installment, the restaurant's pastry chef Camari Mick has teamed up with chefs from around the country to create croissants that merge their respective cultures and bold flavors into one exciting dish. From now until August, these creative pastries will drop every week, only available at Raf's (290 Elizabeth St). And just like last year, Mick has invited serious talent to the kitchen. View this post on Instagram A post shared by raf's (@rafsnewyork) First up in the series is award-winning Afro-Dominican chef and author Paola Velez. From now until June 1st, you can catch her Pernil Empanada Croissant served with wasakaka, a Dominican garlic sauce, for dipping. While we eagerly await the deets on the new location of the breakfast ramen shop, Ramen by Ra, chef Rasheeda Purdie will be tiding us over with her Bacon, Egg & Cheese Ramen Croissant in June. July will bring a Mozzarella-Filled Croissant with tamarind date sauce from James Beard Award-winning author and chef Hawa Hassan, while one of the best restaurants in town, Dhamaka, will serve a Mint Croissant with lamb keema and spiced yogurt sauce. Looking to plan your summer around carbs? Here is the full schedule: May 27-June 1: Paola Velez: Pernil Empanada Croissant with Wasakaka June 3-8: Woldy Reyes: Coconut Bibingka June 10-15: Sobre Masa: Orange Blossom Pain au Chocolat June 17-22: Isabel Coss: Mole Negra Croissant with Chocolate Crema Sauce June 24-29: Ramen by Ra: Bacon, Egg and Cheese Ramen Croissant July 1-6: Hawa Hassan: Mozzarella-Filled Croissant with Tamarind Date Sauce July 8-13: Dhamaka: Mint Croissant with Lamb Keema and Spiced Yogurt Sauce July 15-20: Fariyal Abdullahi: Dorowot and Awib Croissant with Teff Crumble July 22-27: Naks: Roasted Garlic Croissant with Adobo

Zeitz MOCAA honours late chief curator Koyo Kouoh
The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA) in Cape Town will close its doors on Thursday to honour the life and legacy of its Executive Director and Chief Curator, Koyo Kouoh, who passed away unexpectedly on 10 May in Switzerland. Kouoh was a towering figure in contemporary art and known as a visionary, cultural leader and a fierce advocate for African and Afro-diasporic artistic expression. Appointed in 2019, she led Zeitz MOCAA through a transformative period, redefining the museum's curatorial voice and positioning it as a globally recognised platform for contemporary African art. Her sudden passing came just months after she made history as the first African Artistic Director of the Venice Biennale, where she was curating the 61st edition titled 'In Minor Keys', scheduled to open in May 2026. The Biennale has confirmed that Kouoh's vision will still shape the exhibition, to be realised by her core team. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Zeitz MOCAA (@zeitzmocaa) In a tribute shared via LinkedIn, David Green, CEO of the V&A Waterfront and Trustee of Zeitz MOCAA, said, 'It has been with shock and a profound sadness that I received news of the sudden passing of Koyo… In getting to know Koyo over the years since her acceptance of the job to lead Zeitz MOCAA, I, in the role of Trustee and Co-Chair of the museum, had come to appreciate a true sense of her love for what art and artists bring to the world. 'She held an intense conviction that elevating African art was her calling and she extended herself to creating spaces and relationships that would make this possible. Her passing is untimely, and I am going to miss her counsel and friendship immensely,' said Green. Tribute Details for Koyo Kouoh Date: Thursday, 29 May 2025 Time: 4 PM (SAST)

John Legend, Hydro, Glasgow ★★★★ Is the Hydro half-empty or half-full for the opening night of John Legend's tour? For this supremely gifted musician, it has to be the latter. Legend wasted no time urging the audience to their feet, determined to heat up the room and honour the title of the Get Lifted album, whose 20th anniversary he was marking. John Legend | Getty Images Legend presented as an old school soul man in a white satin suit but he has hip-hop connections plus jazz flair and a fluent band who could go with any flow across the seamless two-hour set, whether navigating a ton of dry ice to deliver the Afro funk brass and bass wobble of Alright, adding a reggae rhythm to the low-slung, funky I Can Change or a Latin infusion to She Don't Have to Know. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'I wrote a few songs about infidelity', he confessed, casting the audience as his illicit affair. He committed to resurrecting the lost art of the slow dance with a willing partner from the crowd but also took his performance back to church - practically a family business - beseeching on his knees. Delving further back into his roots, he outlined his early collaborations and breaks with the likes of Lauryn Hill, Alicia Keys and Kanye West ('we miss the old Kanye,' he sighed) and also bust out an unexpected soul blues maelstrom cover of The Beatles' I Want You (She's So Heavy), with rumbling bass, rock drums and guitar solo.
