Are you ready for a new installment of the Thrillist newsletter? If you’re celebrating Hanukkah, happy Hanukkah! I am getting all excited about the holidays, even though I still don’t know what I am giving to anyone as presents… I just keep writing lists that say, “Buy something that this specific person would like and be grateful for and would make them feel valued.” I don’t think that’s gonna really work in the grand scheme… guess I’ll have to start wandering the halls of department stores feeling the auras of various items and wondering if they match the energy of the various people on my list. If you have any good gift-giving ideas, LMK! Today’s stories are extra special, and I know I always say that, but this time I mean it! We have cozy cabins on the coasts of Midwestern lakes, latke recipes for Hanukkah, drag superstar Monique Heart’s guide to West Hollywood, an insider scoop from a flight attendant, and finally… gifts for home chefs! I have to keep consulting the tarot about what I should get my loved ones for the holidays. Wish me luck!
