Dinner at Salt and Fat may not necessarily be part of anyone’s diet plan, but oh my! It is dangerous and delicious. One starts with an amuse-bouche of popcorn flavored with bacon fat, and continues through a variety of tweaked classics of American, Asian, and contemporary fusion cuisine. Korean BBQ pulled pork sliders and the Pork Belly Buns are must-haves. Try the Yellowtail Tartare with Yuzu gel or the Truffled Beet Salad with its dainty paper-thin slivers of pepperoni for a lighter option. Though not much lighter. There are a few entrée sized options, but it’s more satisfying to eat one’s way through the small plates. Worth the trip to Queens.

At Theodore: Art, Scooter LaForge and Christopher Moss pursue their respective practices in painting outside of critical fashion. Moss explores the expressive potential of an avatar of the human visage, as both blocky minimalist landscape element and idiosyncratic subject, all named after varieties of marijuana. LaForge creates odd, inventive narratives full of enchantment and terror, illustrating the adventurous subconscious experience of his bewildered subjects as recontextualized fairy tales.

Tucked behind the impossible chaos of London’s Oxford Street, this modest oasis sells fine, unusual teas, with the maker or estate’s name and place of production marked on every tin. Kaikado of Kyoto tea caddies, exquisite as sculpture, are displayed in vitrines, while in a lower level space, covetable teapots from respected artisans of China and Japan are exhibited. Timothy d’Offay and company are engaging and articulate. Sit down for a cup and a conversation. Send home a “postcard” of tea. And leave feeling calm and refreshed.
