Gray's Papaya and UGG will give out free hot dogs in NYC on July 4th

Time Out03-07-2025
Uptown stalwart Gray's Papaya has been griddling up one of New York's best hot dogs (both a la carte or as that iconic Recession Special, with two crispy-skinned all-beef Sabrett tubers and a medium tropical drink for $7.50) for half a century. And to celebrate the 4th of July in NYC —the most hot dog-loving day around—the franks franchise is partnering with Ugg to give away free hot dogs during the holiday weekend.
On Friday, July 4 and Saturday, July 5, G ray's Papaya and UGG —which is festively fêting the return of a beloved UGG colorway, Mustard Seed (get it?), now in a new Goldenstar UGGBraid Clog silhouette (no, we're not entirely sure what those words mean either)—will be giving out gratis frankfurters throughout New York City, starting at noon until they're gone.
Hungry hot dog lovers can find the on-the-house links at Gray's Papaya's 72nd Street flagship (at 2090 Broadway) as well as at a collab hot-dog cart in Brooklyn's Domino Park on July 4th; or head to the UGG Soho store located at 79 Mercer Street, where another cart will be parked outside on July 5th.
Now, for the important caveat: Though the promo events are free and open to the public, you will need to sign up for UGG Rewards to get the complimentary hot dogs, which does seem a small price to pay for a great wiener.
'Partnering with Gray's Papaya, an iconic New York institution, brings the launch of our new silhouette in Mustard Seed to life in a way that's both nostalgic and fresh,' Tracy Paoletti, vice president and general manager of Ugg North America, said in a statement. 'Available for the whole family, this limited-edition drop of our Goldenstar and Goldencoast Uggbraid Clogs celebrates everything Ugg stands for—bold self-expression, unexpected style, and cultural connection.'

Jennifer Aniston's health guru boyfriend kept embarrassing illness secret

Jennifer hasn't publicly dated anyone since her 2018 divorce from Justin Theroux, but was spotted over the 4th of July weekend alongside hypnotist and wellness coach Jim Curtis Jennifer Aniston's new boyfriend hid an embarrassing secret about his health for years and things got so bad it caused him to feel "depressed". The actress, who hasn't publicly dated anyone since her 2018 divorce from Justin Theroux, was spotted over the 4th of July weekend alongside hypnotist and wellness coach Jim Curtis and her longtime friends Jason Bateman and Amanda Anka. ‌ Jim may be a new face to Hollywood fans, but he's well-established in the wellness world. On his official website, he describes himself as a 'wellness pioneer, author, and hypnotist.' But over the years he has battled his own health issues. ‌ Jim, 49, says he suffered from acute irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) due to a chronic health condition and confessed that "accidents happened a lot. In a 2018 interview, Jim said he kept his illness secret from colleagues and instead told them he was in a motorcycle accident. ‌ Jim told Fast Company magazine in 2018: "Up until 10 years ago, I had IBS, and accidents happened a lot. As a salesperson on the road a lot, I would have to walk through major airports literally for a couple miles; I didn't want to wait for a wheelchair and trip and fall and be so sweaty. "I was doing that and not talking about it and pushing through. When something terrible happened–which it did–I would go into disaster mode or go home and take care of it and go back to work for another day." Jim revealed that his health troubles began as a teenager, when he started to lose the use of his legs and found lesions on his spinal cord. Things got so bad, he said, that at one point he "wanted to die." He suffered pain, headaches, muscle spasticity, and paralysis but top neurologists couldn't figure out what was wrong. ‌ He said things got worse after college, when he started a job on Wall Street. He told Fast Company: "Wall Street comes with a lot of macho ego. It couldn't have been a worse choice. I had to stand up in a crowd all day. It was super high-stress, which is inflammatory and devastating for a condition like mine. "It increased symptoms of fatigue and pain, and it brought on new ones like IBS and other things I couldn't control. I was walking with a limp and I didn't want to get into the 'why.' So for most of the time I lied. I said I'd been in an accident–often it was motorcycle accident–because that fit perfectly, that's kinda cool and that's tough enough." ‌ He explained how he hid his condition from employers and colleagues for years and said he was "depressed" from the the embarrassing consequences caused by the crippling IBS, reports MailOnline. IBS is a common condition that affects the digestive system. It can cause stomach cramps, bloating and diarrhoea. It's usually a lifelong condition but lifestyle changes and medicine can help. The exact cause is unknown – it's been linked to things like food passing through your gut too quickly or too slowly, gastroenteritis, oversensitivity in your gut, stress and a family history of IBS. There's no test for IBS, but you might need some tests to rule out other possible causes of your symptoms. The GP may arrange a blood test to check for problems like coeliac diseas or other tests on a sample of your poo to check for infections and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Why we worship the Wimbledon Wags

Why we worship the Wimbledon Wags

Strangely, it was the Sunday Telegraph, not the red tops, that in 2022 coined the acronym Wags after staff in a Dubai hotel used it to describe the wives and girlfriends of England football players. Little did they know that the term would have the traction that it still does nearly 25 years later. Of course, when most people summon core Wags to mind, they think of the glorious bitchiness of the football Wags in their 2006 Baden-Baden Euro glory – all fake tan, Ugg boots, hair and sunglasses like Barbies on speed. Sadly, they don't make them like that anymore. These days, Wags don't need the papers to pap them; they are Instagram celebrities before they have even got the GHD hair straighteners out – they're not trying as hard. But I'm not here for the football Wags. I'm here for the tennis Wags and, in Wimbledon fortnight, they are here for me. The Wimbledon Wags are winking at the camera from the players' box, their faces pained by every break point, their posture guarded as the coach leans over to whisper something, sometimes their expressions are unknowable behind the Ray-Bans. To me, they are a study in a kind of courtly femininity that we rarely see anymore – a masterclass in presumed reverence, poise and, crucially, silence. Tennis, with its highly intense, individualistic psychological makeup, invites this pose as no other sport can. More than anything, I think it is their silence that invests them with such power, since we can only ever ventriloquise their thoughts. Symbolically raised above the arena where their paramour jousts, they are the subject of deep scrutiny. I'm not sure how many times the BBC cameras pan towards them during the course of any one match, but the dyad between player and Wag is clearly of enormous fascination to the commentators and, I might add, to me, the viewer. Commentators like McEnroe and Henman point the Wags out dutifully – 'and there of course is so and so' – but naturally, the brilliantly priapic Becker was the greatest at the tennis Wags, often opining on them with fabulous sexism, famously starting a row in 2021 after calling quarter-finalist Marton Fucsovics's Wag 'very pretty'. Not all tennis Wags are the same. Back in the Fab Four heyday of Djokovic, Federer and Nadal, they knew the drill and had no social media to feed or augment their position. Think Federer's lovely, bosomy wife Mirka, who sat and watched with the greatest decorum, giving very little away even at match points and getting to her feet only for the win. Eventually, Mirka became – as all tennis Wags do – a study in maternity, bringing any one of their four immaculate children into the players' box as a symbol of Federer's all-round family man status and virility. Sometimes, the tennis Wag finds it hard to maintain composure, a trait that is almost always cast in terms of nationality. Djokovic's wife, Jelena – known to the crowd as a fiery, fiercely devoted Iron Curtain Serb – performs expressions of such pain and anguish that one feels that the stage could have been her true calling. This year, the media has gone wild for the presumed romance between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu But the tennis Wags do have a stage and use it to its full advantage. Once in a decade, to the unadulterated delight of the media, the crowd and the BBC, a unicorn Wag appears. A unicorn Wag is both courtly lady of the players' box come to watch her man in combat, and a professional tennis player herself. This year, the media has gone wild for the presumed romance between Carlos Alcaraz and Emma Raducanu. Most accounts of this union draw on fictional, sexed-up castings of tennis in films like Challengers or the spectacularly awful Wimbledon starring Paul Bettany, inviting us to consider the steamy underside of the professional tour. But I think that the unicorn Wag delights – and disturbs – because she offers a study in multiple selves. Look at Steffi Graf cheering on husband Andre Agassi or Chrissie Evert championing Jimmy Connors back in his heyday – women with the ability to be both reverent and aggressive all at once. Watch Agassi look up to his players' box and silently commune with Steffi over a missed break point or bungled smash and you will see a highly coded gaze that takes in romance and strategy like no other. But which two lucky tennis Wags will sit in the box on Sunday? For maximum dramatic pietà, I am hoping that it will be Jelena Djokovic and unicorn Wag Raducanu poised to cheer on Alcaraz. One always hopes that they might turn on each other, Wagatha Christie-style, in the heat of the match with only the Ray-Bans as weapons – but of course they don't. These are tennis Wags, after all. They stand elevated, heads bowed, willing their men to victory.
