New show to feature South, encourage connection with whenua

PHOTO: ALEX BRADSHAW / FIRE FIRE PRODUCTIONS The face of an upcoming programme showcasing Māori across Te Waipounamu (the South Island) hopes it will encourage all people to connect to the land. Tonight the show, called Nomad, will premiere on Whakaata Māori and online platform MĀORI+. The show follows Kahurangi Mahuika, a young Māori nomad, as he explores the South with his family and pursues a life lived off the land, just as his tīpuna did. Through his journey, Kahurangi meets people from places all over Te Waipounamu who are living self-sufficiently. Episode four takes Otago and Southland viewers to the familiar Taieri Plains in Otago, then down to the Ōtapiri area in Southland. Mr Mahuika said the episode, partially set in the Sinclair Wetlands, would see him catching up with a cousin named Tumai Cassidy, who was leading a project focused on restoration of ancestral land returned to Kāi Tahu. "It was awesome just to see the whenua, see what their project is doing — they have a massive range from nurseries to breaking down whale blubber ... and trying to bring the biodiversity of their wetlands [back] to their former glory." He said they were showcasing a lifestyle alternative to the classic "go to school to go to university, get a job and eventually retire" social norm. "I would love to think we could help inspire more of our young people, our Māori people and all people to be more conscious of the environment and the lifestyle that they lead. "We can create something beautiful with balance — it takes sacrifice, but at the end of the day it is worth it," he said. Mr Mahuika first made connections to the series creator — Alex Bradshaw from Fire Fire Productions — when filming another show called West Coasters, which chronicles the way of life for Māori living along the West Coast of New Zealand. "I jumped in on that kaupapa ... I was on their series for a couple of episodes, nothing major." After that, Mr Bradshaw asked if Mr Mahuika if he would like to collaborate on something in the future — and a few years later Nomad was born. "They designed this show ... as a thought or a whakaaro around a Māori family in the South Island, and how they connect to the land."

Gear Up For Summer Travel With 22% Off Nomad's eSIMs Using CNET's Exclusive Code
Many of us are now preparing our summer travel plans. And if those plans are international, staying connected is essential. Data plans can add up pretty quickly, especially if the trip lasts for more than a few days. Luckily, an eSIM can help you stay online and in touch with loved ones back home. And Nomad is here to help you save the big bucks. Using our exclusive code, SUMMERCNET, you can score 22% off Nomad eSIM plans. This code may only be used once per person, and the plan must be activated within 60 days of purchase. The deal is valid until August 31 but is limited to the first 100 users -- so we expect the deal will be over long before then. Keep in mind, this code does not apply to add-on data, day plans, sale plans, or plans under $5. Nomad eSIM has a wide variety of plans available, including local, regional and global eSIMs. The provider is valid in over 200 countries and regions, so you're covered, no matter where you go. Local eSIMs are for one country. (If you're planning on taking a trip just to Bermuda, you can use the local option and choose Bermuda.) From there, you'll be given more options on the amount of GBs and the number of days. If you're traveling to multiple countries, you may benefit from a regional or global plan. The global plan includes up to 112 countries. The number of countries you'd like to include, the number of days and the amount of GBs must be selected. The regional plan is similar but more continent/area-based. For example, if you're taking a European trip, you might choose the Europe regional plan because it includes 35 countries in Europe. Then, of course, you'll choose the specifics. For more travel bargains, take a look at the best luggage deals to upgrade your bags before your next trip. Why this deal matters You'll need to act fast if you want to take advantage of this deal; it's only valid for the first 100 users.

Danny Meyer Is Opening a Members-Only Restaurant in Manhattan
How many more private dining clubs can Manhattan take? Apparently, at least one more: Moss, a coming-soon members spot off of Bryant Park, at 520 Fifth Avenue, is the latest to throw its hat into the ring. It's been separating itself from the pack over the past year, targeting a younger downtown community of food people, who have hosted various events at their Midtown space to drum up awareness before Moss officially debuts in the fall. But when it opens, they're going with an established food team: Babette, by prolific powerhouse restaurateur Danny Meyer's Union Square Hospitality events team, will be launching at the five-floor Moss property. Makes sense since, after all, this is a members club in Midtown, in an area where many are familiar with and probably customers of Meyer's properties, from Ci Siamo to Gramercy Tavern. The dining 'concept,' as it was described by a spokesperson, will be joined by perks like a 'vitality pool,' Turkish baths, a yoga and pilates suite, a pickleball court, as well as 'grooming lounges,' and a hi-fi listening room. No word yet on the food for Babette, Eater has reached out for more information. A new name in ice cream The Infatuation has the scoop on Nun Left, a new Harlem pint business that comes from Jane Brendlinger, a food writer and Per Se pastry chef, per the review. Ordered via Instagram DM, these are pricier than a supermarket brand at $15, but with extremely fun flavors such as Thai tea brownie and princess cake. Restaurant team rises again Citroën, a bistro in Greenpoint that closed in late 2024 due to landlord disputes, has decided that instead of trying to relaunch the name elsewhere in North Brooklyn, they're opening something new. Greenpointers reports the team will debut the Sparrow, an 'Art Deco cocktail bar and restaurant,' in a kitchen led by Carlos Despradel, a Nomad and Clocktower alum. It's coming to 185 Broadway, at Driggs Avenue, in Williamsburg, in August. Sign up for our newsletter.

Let Me Tell You: why your next bar snack might be steak frites
Back in 2021, TikTok discovered the $28 never-ending skirt steak and fries deal at Skirt Steak. Banking on the single item with a few supporting characters (the aforementioned fries and a side of greens), the Nomad restaurant achieved viral status, generating a steady line of influencers and those who had been influenced. A few years later, the price climbed to $45 (thanks, inflation)—and much like anything else that achieves buzz on TikTok, the hype died down as we moved on to the next. But now the steak frites craze is back, this time reemerging at bars across the city. While taprooms and lounges that solely specialize in nuts and pretzels in bowls certainly have their place, some of New York's best food can be found bellied up to the bar. Chinatown's Sunn's draws crowds for Sunny Lee's take on banchan just as much as it does for its wines curated by Parcelle. Williamburg's Bar Madonna (our Best New Bar pick for Best of the City Awards in 2024) keeps us properly boozed with amari and grappa and fed with osso buco croquettes and the appropriately meaty and cheesy smashed meatball parm. Yet, several emerging bars are leaning into American comfort food: meat and potatoes. Possibly a recession indicator, these bars are sliding steak frites down the same stretch they slide cold beers, somehow without draining our wallets. Steak frites is the star (and only player) at Funny Bar, part jazz bar, part restaurant in the Lower East Side. The space is definitely a bit of a design mashup, formerly housing NYC's first kosher Chinese restaurant in one life (peep the red and back columns), and a country bar with a mechanical bull pit in the other (AKA where the sunken dining room resides). While a bit of a hodgepodge in decor, the menu keeps it straightforward with only four items: Bar Steak Frites with Bordelaise at $29, a 'Big Steak' with tarragon butter at $69, salad at $17 and fries—not needed if you order the steak frites—at $12. While the steak frites were advertised as an appetizer when I visited last Saturday, my group of three left plenty full with two orders and a tacked-on wedge salad. Don't expect a cooking temp question; your filet mignon arrives perfectly pink and medium-rare. The fries are a slight step above the bodega variety, best used to mop up the last bits of gravy that pools around the meat. While I wish there was more salt and pepper here, and a more robust crust on the meat, for $29, it seems like a welcome end, or I suppose, a start, to a night out. For a deal with a drink attached, you can look at Gowanus's Liar Liar. Run by four friends whose collective resumes include stints at Bed Stuy's Bad Luck Bar and Steven Graf Import, the natural wine bar was adamant about creating a food menu that matched its thoughtfully curated bottles, one that goes above what they called 'typical wimpy wine bar fare.' What resulted are ol' reliable staples, a burger with a herby aioli, a chicken fried sando with a sweet and spicy slaw and a plate of steak frites smothered in a peppercorn aioli for $30. However, the deal of the day goes to the happy hour menu, as an order of steak frites and a bottle of your choice of red wine will only cost $69. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Jean 🇩🇴 (@jeaneatz) And then there's Lori Jayne, the dive-y back-kitchen at Bushwick's Alphaville, where chef Sam Braverman (no formal culinary training) is exceeding expectations of what dive bar food can be. Cooking up what he calls 'good food,' his version of bar food includes Sichuan-rubbed wings and Dr. Brown's stewed pork ladled on top of latkes. But it's his steak frites that have achieved viral status. One of the bar's most popular orders, the dish starts with a cut of chuck flap, seasoned with salt and pepper and basted with a cultured butter that's cooked down with beef trim. Sliced and placed over vinegar-brined fries, the steak is cloaked in a tingly Sichuan peppercorn sauce, a sauce that's made with freshly ground peppercorns to order. Served with a set of chopsticks for partaking, this above-the-bar (or above-the-dive-bar?) snack is only $20.
