What's Good Wednesdays

What’s Good Wednesdays™, February 4, 2026

Watch: Tastebuds_nyc. The best thing happening on social media right now is a TikTok channel where two bros from New York are attempting to try food from every country in the world without leaving the city. It really shows what makes a diverse city of immigrants so special. Come for the food, stay for the connection, community and new friendships they make along the way. I dare you to get through the Bhutan episode without crying (just a little bit). – Molly

Watch: Super Bowl LX. The US’s largest sporting occasion is as much about what’s off the field as what’s on it, whether that be celebrity spotting at the stadium, the heavily-produced ads, or the amount of dips and chicken wings your host can provide. But politics could also feature prominently at this year’s Super Bowl. Bad Bunny, one of the performers of the famous half-time show, started one of his victory speeches at last Sunday’s Grammy awards by saying, “ICE Out.” Will he deliver another message to the hundreds of millions watching on television this Sunday? – Zac


Watch (instead): Super Bowl LX live from Bikini Bottom. If you, like me, don’t find the sport scintillating enough in its own right, but feel obligated to take part in the American tradition, I recommend watching the version on Nickelodeon.

Which is critical if you, like me, do not care to learn the rules. – Riley

An alchemist of genres, RaiNao moves effortlessly between sounds and moods. This is a concert I recommend for the drive home [...]
Watch: “Service95.” Artist Dua Lipa interviews literary heavyweights like Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, Min Jin Lee, and Margaret Atwood for her social media show. Celebrity book clubs are nothing new, but celebrity interviewers who conduct genuinely insightful conversations are far rarer. Dua Lipa brings curiosity, empathy, and impressive preparation [...]
Go to: A baseball game. In case you hadn’t heard, there are a lot of big sporting events this week. The Knicks play the Spurs in the NBA Finals, the French Open tennis tournament reaches its climax on Tuesday, and the World Cup gets going next week. But if you want to attend a sports game in person for a reasonable price, why not try your local [...]
Read about a political drama at a New York food co-op may sound like the kind of dispute only Brooklyn could produce. Think contentious debates over tahini, permissions, and a peanut butter snack puff called Osem Bamba. Yet, it’s also a microcosm of the ideological divisions in the US over Israel after the war in Gaza. The New York Times breaks [...]
