Pete Davidson Shares How He Proposed to Ariana Grande, Says It Was ‘Dope’

“I never thought I’d meet anyone like her,” he added in the interview. “I can’t even put into words how great of a person she is. I could cry. She’s the f*cking coolest, hottest, nicest person I’ve ever met. I’m f*cking living the goddamn dream. I feel like I’m living in a fantasyland.”

Houston Is the New Capital Of Southern Cool

Perhaps it's unseemly to begin with such a comparison. Houston is America's fourth-largest city, an international metropolis of great institutions and great wealth. It has professional sports teams; it has operas and ballets. Why compare it to a city that is half the size and a fraction as diverse?

But Austin, as Lawrence Wright points out in his book God Save Texas, is the Texas city that is permissible for those who live outside Texas: urbane, hip, progressive, and Texan in all the romantic, right ways (swaggering, wild, western) without so many of the wrong ones (conservative, provincial, big-haired). Also, Austin is unimpeachably cool—even if Austinites will spend half of any conversation bemoaning how much less cool it is now than at some point in the past, usually, by coincidence, the point at which they arrived.

Then, sometime over the past five or six years, things started to change. As somebody who writes about food, I could hardly miss it. With its mix of exploding immigrant communities and ambitious, sophisticated variations on upscale dining, Houston had decisively shrugged off its reputation as a city of steak houses and chains to become increasingly mentioned as one of the nation's great restaurant cities. In these pages, David Chang called Houston the next food capital of America. This year, it earned two spots on my annual list of Best New Restaurants, a distinction shared only with New York City and Los Angeles.

Russian Billionaire Gets Green Light for Upper East Side Mega-Mansion

Brokers speculate that mega-mansion could be worth around $125 million. Good things come to those who wait, apparently — at least in regards to the construction of mega-mansions by Russian billionaires.

After ruling against his original plans to combine three homes into an 18,255-square-foot Upper East Side mansion — with a 30 foot backyard and a swimming pool in the basement — in April, the Landmarks Preservation Commission on Tuesday approved new plans submitted by Roman Abramovich, who has a net worth of $9.3 billion and owns Chelsea F.C. Once complete, the newly combined home will be one of the largest in Manhattan and brokers speculated that it could add around $50 million to the value of the property, although no Manhattan townhouse has ever changed hands above the $100 million mark.
