Treat a sweet person in your life to a subscription to Alicia Kennedy’s newsletter, From the Desk of Alicia Kennedy. How does it work? On Mondays, Alicia sends out an essay to anyone and everyone who wants it—for free—about food culture, politics, and media. On Wednesdays, she sends out a discussion thread on Monday’s topic, but this piece only makes it to paid subscribers. Paid subscribers will also receive Friday’s newsletter—an interview with people involved in the food industry. Subscribe today for the full experience!

Tired of cooking? Treat your sweetie to an at-home date with all-vegan takeout from Bushwick gem Hartbreakers. Who says chowing down on fast/casual fare in the comfort of your home can’t be sexy? Peruse the menu and be prepared to drool!

Wanna spread the love? Make a donation in your giftee’s name to The Okra Project, “a collective that seeks to address the global crisis faced by Black Trans people by bringing home cooked, healthy, and culturally specific meals and resources to Black Trans People wherever we can reach them.” Donate today!
