Some deals, of course, are better than others. We’ve sniffed around the web and discovered an absolute steal with the Costway Programmable 1000W Microwave Oven . The price for this highly-rated microwave has been cut nearly in half, from $200 to an astounding $110. With 10 power levels and a digital control panel with six pre-programmed cooking options, this microwave delivers on all fronts. To boot, it even has a locking feature to keep the littlest hands in the family safe.

There’s not much handier in the kitchen than a sound microwave. The appliance can thaw the hardest of meats, perfectly melt your favorite kind of cheese, and expertly prepare any number of frozen items you’ve stocked up on during the pandemic. Frankly, a good microwave does the heavy culinary lifting when you don’t want to, whether it be time constraints or simply zero motivation.

The Costway boasts quite a bit of power in a relatively small build. That said, it will have no trouble thawing items from the most tucked-away sections of your freezer and it will do so without eating up too much kitchen real estate. Its straightforward design complements just about any kitchen environment and the LED display is easy to make out, whether you’re prepping vegetables across the kitchen or wandering in the dark for a microwaveable midnight snack.

Let’s be honest, microwaves aren’t just for those hungry for a quick fix in the food department (although they certainly are that). The appliance can also offer a helping hand when you’re multitasking in the kitchen and prepping a complex meal for guests. Sometimes, there’s just too much happening both in and atop your stove. It can offer an instant zap of heat to warm up your morning cup of coffee and almost instantly make a slice of your favorite pie taste like it came straight from a long spell in the oven. A good microwave is practically magical.

Microwave traditionalists — if there is such a thing — will love the revolving turntable inside, made of tempered glass to handle both heat and occasional spills. It allows for the best kind of food-porn viewing, as your popcorn comes to life or your pizza comes to the ideal temperature. With this kitchen device in your corner, you can defrost items by weight, quickly and effectively. And a trusty microwave can always double as a clock and timer, even when it’s not warming something up.

Improving your kitchen has never been easier on you and your wallet than on Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There are blockbuster deals on everything from blenders and SodaStreams to bar tools and Instant Pots. As you look to simplify cooking and take the stress out of some of your food prep, consider the Costway microwave and its many merits.

Bottle, Whiskey, Glass

Four Roses has announced the release of its 2026 Limited Edition Small Batch Bourbon next month — and this year’s batch reaches back further than any prior release, blending bourbons aged 14 to 23 years.

The new blend from the Lawrenceburg-based distillery combines four hand-selected batches across three of the distillery’s ten recipes: 14-year-old OBSK, 14-year-old OESK, 15-year-old OESV, and a 23-year-old OESK. It’s non-chill filtered and bottled at barrel strength, 109.2 proof.

The Gold Room Is Peak Gilded Age New York Glamour
Altar, Architecture, Building

As a New England WASP, I probably have a hereditary fondness for grand old rooms. My Boston Brahmin forebears, after trading religious zeal for mercantile ambition, liked nothing better than sipping claret, playing whist, and smoking cigars in their clubhouses on Beacon Hill. In private quarters adorned with mahogany paneling, maritime paintings, and marble fireplaces, my flinty ancestors chortled deep into the night—safely removed from wives, papists, and, God forbid, Yale men.

Since moving to New York City, I’ve delighted in finding bars that feel like clubhouses frozen in the Gilded Age. The Campbell in Grand Central comes to mind. The Rose Club at the Plaza. Although much newer, the Polo Bar gussies up the blue-blood clubhouse aesthetic with fabulous fare, a trophy-laden wine cellar, and an ultra-exclusive mystique. But the apotheosis of robber-baron extravagance is The Gold Room at Lotte New York Palace.

Classic lagers to drink if you want your beer to “taste like beer”
Pilsner Urquell

When you think about the flavor of beer, what do you imagine? To me, it’s a crisp, refreshing, no-frills lager. The type of beer you’d just as likely crack open on an unseasonably warm spring day while grilling as you would after an afternoon of mowing the lawn on a hot, hazy, humid summer day. It’s light, refreshing, and tastes like beer.

That’s not to say that there isn’t a place for chocolate- and coffee-centric porters or boozy, barrel-aged stouts, or even tart, lip-smacking sour beers. There is a time and place for those and many other styles. It’s just that sometimes I want to crack open a beer and not taste an explosion of tropical fruit juices or get bashed in the head with malts or oaky wood. I want a beer that tastes the way I imagine it should. Specifically, I’m thinking about a balanced, thirst-quenching lager.
