Having A Night is a podcast dedicated to reviving the lost art of the dinner party. Sophie von Haselberg and Ariana Venturi are obsessed with both the micro and the macro of the all-important question: how to throw the absolute, supreme, no holds barred, remember-it-forever-unless-you-were-too-drunk dinner party.
Well, friends, this is sort of a 'series finale' for the Having A Night Podcast. As Ari says in this ep, "we've basically done it". We've had on guests we've loved, guests we've hated (KIDDING!), we've talked about scintillating things and things so boring they could send a stone into a deep snooze. And now, we're hoping to take Having A Night in some more *live*, *theatrical* directions. If you've been listening to us for the last FOUR years, we cannot thank you enough. Knowing there were people on the other end of the microphone -- particularly during the pandemic -- kept us sane and kept us going. And if you suddenly stumbled upon this podcast and have never even heard of us, go back and listen to the whole back catalogue! There are some juicy, good episodes that we think (?) will stand the test of time. And let it be known that we reserve the right to come back and podcast any time we damn well please! Until we talk to you next, we'll be on instagram and hoping to rustle up a Live Chip Hour. So if you have any ideas of theaters or anything you'd like to see live and in the flesh... Let us know! We love you, we cherish you, and we couldn't -- no, we WOULDN'T! -- have done it without you.

Boocatini
And we don't mean 'boo' in the Halloween sense. In this episode, we uncover the hollow (literally!) trend that is bucatini. We also delve into another bu--burrata, that is. NYMag issued a scathing expose on the once-famed ball of cream. Is this ill repute deserved or is there a place in the pantheon of cheeses for our milky friend? Of course, it wouldn't be August if we didn't have a section on tomatoes (sandwiches, raw sauces, etc.) and zucchini (this is a must-cook situation. Zoodles left Sophie with a permanent mental scar.) and all the ways you can keep your kitchen cool by not turning on your stove. And don't worry, we didn't forget to go to the Queens Night Market -- it's TONIGHT! We take a virtual tour of the vendors, ie say a bunch of names out loud and squirm in our seats with delight at what we will be eating this evening! So tune in next week to hear how many Tibetan Momos is too many Tibetan Momos.

A Hell of a Town!
This week is all about where to go and what to do in the great city of New York! When people (including people under the age of 21) visit from out of town, what are the major food groups one MUST hit? Pizza is at the top of the list, but must be in the form of the slice joint. Bagels are an essential, but don't you dare go near a place that serves unicorn bagels. The steakhouse, the Oyster Bar, the classic American diner... Lots to cover, including the pretzel of sliced meats, ie pastrami. Has the Empire State Bldg. jumped the shark? Has anyone ever been on The Circle Line? This, and other important questions go unanswered in this great citywide episode.
