Yara Shahidi, Jessica Chastain and More Celebrate Gucci's Mother's Day Campaign
Ahead of Mother's Day, Gucci celebrated their Mother's Day campaign with Yara Shahidi and her mother, Keri Salter-Shahidi, with a special lunch. The bar space at Manhattan hot spot Borgo was decorated with fresh flowers on Wednesday afternoon as guests mingled over white wine pre-lunch. Joining the Shahidis were Jessica Chastain and her mom Jerri Hastey; Louisa Jacobson; Kate Young; Jason Rembert; Hannah Bronfman; Charlotte Groeneveld; Sabine Getty, and more.

'That was the goal, to bring the spring to New York,' Salter-Shahidi said. 'We're very big on color, and the color affects mood and emotions, so we always naturally skew very bright,' Shahidi added. The pair had spent a day in Rome for the campaign shoot, which felt 'beautifully natural' given how long they have known the team at Gucci. 'What's fun is that Gucci just, not only as a company, but as people, have been friends for such a long time. It's been over 10 years at this point that we've been friends,' Shahidi said. 'We were on set with a lot of people we already love and I think we got to do things that already come naturally.' 'We just got to play more dress up,' Salter-Shahidi added. 'And in Rome,' Shahidi said. While in Italy en route to the shoot, they happened upon a large mural of Shahidi, completely by surprise. 'We drove to a little mall area and there was a painting of you that was three stories high,' Salter-Shahidi said to her daughter, who described the sighting as 'surreal.' For Mother's Day, they usually spend the day in nature somewhere, with this year's plans yet to be set. 'We think about it two days ahead,' Shahidi said. 'We know what's happening in the next 48 hours.' 'Which is fun,' Salter-Shahidi added. 'We stay in the present moment for sure. So we're happy to be celebrating and to be celebrated by Gucci. It's amazing.' Soon after, they joined the rest of the room at the lunch tables, where branzino with smoked chickpeas, a fresh salad and Meyer lemon sorbet were served.

Cool-Kid Restaurateur Andrew Tarlow Goes Grown-Up at Borgo
When the Brooklyn restaurateur Andrew Tarlow was scouting sites for his new restaurant, he wasn't focused on location. What he was looking for was good ghosts. The space he eventually chose for Borgo, on East 27th Street in Manhattan, had excellent ones. It wasn't just that the building had what real-estate agents call good bones — rooms that were big but not cavernous, a large garden out back, a working fireplace and a wood-burning oven. It was the palpable feeling that those rooms, which once housed the long-lived Pugliese restaurant I Trulli, had been well used and well loved during the previous quarter-century. And Mr. Tarlow said he wanted to steward it through the next one. That's exactly what he'd done in 1999 with his first restaurant, Diner, refurbishing an old Pullman dining car beneath the Williamsburg Bridge. When it first opened, eating at Diner was like a raucous dinner party in an artist friend's loft. Packed wall-to-wall with hipsters, the scene was buzzy, the music loud and the farm-to-table menu concise enough to be scribbled, ad hoc, onto the butcher-paper-covered tables. The spirit of Mr. Tarlow's dinner party still hovers at Borgo, more than two decades and several restaurants on. (Mr. Tarlow also owns Achilles Heel, Marlow & Sons and Roman's with his wife, Kate Huling.) It's just that the vibe has mellowed, the boisterous thrum settling into a convivial hum.
