Inside London's Top New Restaurant Hangout: The Buzzy One Club Row
One Club Row's name is also its address: It's tucked behind a wooden door under a little blue awning on the graffiti-plastered alleyway, just around the corner from the Shoreditch House. The only other clue you've arrived is a small sign by the entrance that glows yellow when walk-in seats are available. Up a flight of stairs, the 55-seat dining room is minimally fitted out with hardwood floors, a handful of bar seats and bentwood chairs pulled up to white-cloth-topped tables. Anyone familiar with the convivial hum of the Italian-American The Dover or a Jeremy King restaurant at full tilt will recognize the energy here.

Spencer Lewis Brings 'La Noche De Día' to Fundación La Nave Salinas in Ibiza
On view through August 8,Fundación La Nave SalinaspresentsLa Noche De Día, a solo exhibition by American artistSpencer Lewis. Known for his bold, textured paintings, Lewis brings a new series of large-scale works to the historic space, a former 1940s salt warehouse in Ibiza. The show marks the tenth anniversary of the foundation and reflects its ongoing mission to present challenging, physical and emotionally charged work. Curated by La Nave's founder Lio Malca, the exhibition has been four years in the making. Malca was immediately drawn to Lewis' raw energy and saw how the artist's work could create a powerful dialogue with the stone walls of the building. 'Spencer's work doesn't just hang on the walls,' Malca said. 'It becomes part of the building's heartbeat.' The space's height, texture and history gave the team an opportunity to create a presentation that feels immersive rather than staged. For Lewis, the environment played a big role in shaping the final body of work. He describes painting on jute as both practical and symbolic, offering durability and a sense of material honesty. The history of the salt warehouse and the elements of salt, air and light helped push his process into new territory. 'It was this full sensory immersion in the final display that actually suddenly became more spiritual,' he said. We caught up with Spencer and Lio to discuss the momentous exhibition. Read the full interview below. 'Abstraction is the condition through which we interpret everything, not just images.' You've said abstraction feels more like a condition than a style. What do you mean by that, especially in this new series?Spencer Lewis: I've been working with AI a lot lately, so I'm thinking about language. If we take language as a system of signs, then our relationship to the real is always already abstracted. We're made through the word. You can't escape it. Abstraction is the condition through which we interpret everything, not just images. That alienation presents a challenge. And I don't think I'm the only one who responds violently, rightly or wrongly. But I don't think we need to repair the gap, per se. It's fine to live inside language. Just don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining. Why do you choose to paint on jute? What does that material add to your work?SL: It's durable. It can take what I throw at it: the dragging, the layering, the stretching and unstretching. Jute absorbs some materials, lets others sit on top. It's porous, easy to sew through. It bruises but stays intact. It also doesn't carry the same art historical baggage as canvas. It has its own texture, its own past, it's a plant, it's a thing. That object-ness, that matter-of-factness, is part of the work. It serves as the ground of the painting and for the paint and objectifies the paint. You were influenced by Hofmann and de Kooning early on. How do those influences show up in your work today?SL: Well because I learned about them from my mother's art books they return me to the time of first becoming an artist. Hofmann is about space, using color to push and pull space. De Kooning is really still about drawing. But that the emotion carried in gesture to the viewer. Truthfully I never think about these artists anymore but there's probably a ghost in their works particularly in the relationship to the square. La Nave was once a salt warehouse. Did the history or feel of the space shape how you approached the show?SL: Absolutely. That building carries weight. Every show you do is site specific but it's rare that it's so intense. The ideas of salt, light, air, sound were pushing the work toward something even more physical, but it was this full sensory immersion in the final display that actually suddenly became more spiritual. That's what made the collaboration with Isaac and Lio so exciting. I wouldn't have landed there on my own. 'Spencer's work doesn't just hang on the walls, it becomes part of the building's heartbeat.' What drew you to Spencer's work? Why did you feel it belonged at La Nave?Lio Malca: When I first encountered Spencer's paintings, I was immediately struck by their raw, explosive energy. Each work feels like an eruption, almost like witnessing the Big Bang on canvas. I could instantly envision how they would resonate against the deep, textured stone walls of La Nave, a space that itself carries so much history. The dialogue between his visceral surfaces and the raw architecture of the former salt warehouse felt inevitable. Spencer's work doesn't just hang on the walls, it becomes part of the building's heartbeat. This show marks the foundation's tenth year. How does it reflect what you've been building?LM: Reaching the tenth anniversary of La Nave is a significant milestone. Over the past decade, we've transformed an industrial space into a cultural hub that welcomes groundbreaking artistic voices. Bringing Spencer's exhibition to La Nave this year, after four years of conversations and planning, feels like an apex of our journey so far. His work embodies the energy, risk-taking, and ambition that have defined our program. This exhibition is both a celebration of what we've achieved and a statement of intent for what lies ahead. Spencer's paintings are big and textured. How did you plan for them to work in such a unique space?LM: La Nave's architecture is raw, it demands art that can hold its own within such a powerful context. With Spencer's monumental works, we approached the installation as a choreography between scale, texture, history and light. The roughness of the stone walls amplifies the physicality of his paintings, while the generous height and openness allows them to breathe and dominate the space. The scenography wasn't about controlling the environment but rather about allowing the works and the building to create a dialog. Why is it important to keep admission free and open to the public in Ibiza?LM: Art should be a shared experience, not a privilege reserved for a few. Ibiza is a place where cultures converge, and making our exhibitions free ensures that everyone—residents, visitors, and art lovers alike—can engage with world-class contemporary art. For me, it's essential that La Nave remains a space where discovery is accessible, where anyone can walk in and be moved by what they see without barriers, especially kids, kids of all ages. Each summer, we welcome kids to participate in our programs either with their parents through Kids Play, our weekend workshops at La Nave, or with school groups for guided sessions, bringing in over 1,000 kids each summer. What kind of artists or projects do you hope to bring to La Nave in the future?LM: Looking ahead, I want to continue inviting artists who challenge perceptions and create immersive, transformative experiences. We will keep presenting renowned international artists with different forms of expression, honoring contemporary practices. I'm particularly drawn to projects that engage with history, materiality, and the environment: works that feel alive within the space. La Nave will remain a platform for bold artistic statements, for established or up and coming artists continuing the spirit that has defined our first decade.

'Hamilton' producer reflects on 10-year anniversary
Ten years later, history still has its eyes on 'Hamilton.' The beloved musical, created by original star Lin-Manuel Miranda, celebrates a decade on Broadway this week. Producer Jeffrey Seller is reflecting on the show's lasting influence on audiences and the theater world since its groundbreaking premiere. 9 Seller produced Lin-Manuel Miranda's hit musical 'Hamilton.' Getty Images 'I'm feeling so rewarded by 'Hamilton's' impact on people over [the past] 10 years,' Seller, 60, exclusively told The Post. 'The ways in which it has brought so many people joy, … inspiration and illumination. How much it has entertained, but also how much it has educated.' 'Hamilton' officially opened at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Aug. 6, 2015, following previews that began on July 13. Since then, Seller said it has reached 'well over a quarter of a million Title I high school' students. '[It] not only entertains them, but teaches them American history,' Seller said. 'Not only teaches them American history, but gives them a sense of place — 'Oh, I belong here too. I'm part of the story.'' 9 More than 4.6 million people have seen 'Hamilton' on Broadway. NY Post Brian Zak 9 The original Broadway cast of 'Hamilton' included Miranda, Leslie Odom Jr. and Anthony Ramos. Getty Images According to Broadway World, more than 4.6 million people have seen 'Hamilton' on Broadway — not including those the musical has reached through its filmed version on Disney+, which earned 'Hamilton' an Emmy for outstanding variety special (pre-recorded) in 2021. In June 2020, Forbes reported that the production had surpassed $1 billion in global revenue, making it one of the few to reach the milestone. The achievement helped land Miranda, 45, on the list of the world's highest-paid celebrities, with estimated earnings of $45.5 million that year. 'Hamilton' also dominated the 2016 Tony Awards, winning 11 out of its record-setting 16 nominations, including best musical and best original score. 9 Seller described 'Hamilton' as a 'strike of lightning.' Kevin Mazur The original Broadway cast included Miranda, who also wrote the show's book and score, as Alexander Hamilton; Leslie Odom Jr. as Aaron Burr; and Anthony Ramos as John Laurens and Philip Hamilton. This fall, Odom, 43, is set to reprise his role for the first time since departing the production in 2016. According to ticket-selling platforms like Broadway Direct and TodayTix, Odom's entire run — from Sept. 9 to Nov. 26 — is completely sold out. Before tickets were snagged, prices ranged from $205 to $624, not including fees. Miranda, for his part, is also known for creating and starring in 2008's 'In the Heights,' another Broadway hit produced by Seller that also earned Tonys for best musical and best original score. 9 'Hamilton' began as a concept album about the life of Treasure Secretary Alexander Hamilton. AP 9 'Hamilton' premiered off-Broadway at The Public Theater on Feb. 17, 2015. Getty Images Reflecting on 'Hamilton's' early days, Seller said it felt like 'if 'In the Heights' was this warm embrace, 'Hamilton' was this strike of lighting.'' 'It was absolutely Lin, but it was also another leap forward for him creatively,' Seller explained. 'I remember I was just so blown away by the first three songs: 'Alexander Hamilton,' 'My Shot' and, maybe, Washington's first song ('Right Hand Man').' 'I just said, 'What do you want to do?'' he continued. 'At first, he wanted to make an album. I said, 'So we'll help you make an album… I'm here to serve.'' 9 'Hamilton' won best musical and best original score at the 2016 Tony Awards. Bloomberg via Getty Images 9 'Hamilton' canceled its 2026 run at the Kennedy Center. In fact, in 2009, Miranda introduced 'Hamilton' as a concept album during an appearance at the White House for an evening of poetry, music and the spoken word under the Obama administration. 'I'm thrilled the White House called me tonight because I'm actually working on a hip-hop album,' he said at the time. 'It's a concept album about the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop, Treasury Secretary Alexander Hamilton.' Miranda then performed an early version of what would become 'Hamilton's' opening number, aptly titled 'Alexander Hamilton.' 9 Lin-Manuel Miranda's final performance as Alexander Hamilton in 2016. Getty Images Before transferring to Broadway, the off-Broadway production of 'Hamilton' premiered at The Public Theater on Feb. 17, 2015. Despite its success over the past 10 years, Seller said he thinks it's still too early to know what the show's legacy will be. ''Legacy' is a hard word because we don't know,' he explained. 'I think we're still too close to see what its legacy is.' In addition to 'Hamilton,' Seller's other producing credits include 'Rent,' 'Avenue Q,' the 2009 revival of 'West Side Story' and, most recently, the 2023 revival of 'Sweeney Todd.' He chronicled his journey from growing up in Detroit to becoming an award-winning producer in his book, 'Theater Kid: A Broadway Memoir,' published on May 6. Meanwhile, 'Hamilton' continues its reach beyond Broadway with multiple North American tours, as well as productions in London's West End, Australia, the UK and Ireland.

‘The View' co-host describes Harris interview as ‘microcosm of everything that's wrong' with Dem Party
Advertisement 'The View' co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin described former Vice President Kamala Harris' interview with Stephen Colbert as a 'microcosm' of everything that's wrong with the Democratic Party after the party lost in 2024. 'I was struck by, I'm going to try not be too harsh on this. This interview felt like a microcosm of everything that's wrong with Democrats post-election. I'm going to CBS and this sort of trying to make a point that they fired Stephen Colbert, which many on the left called an attack on democracy, a man who was making $20 million a year, someone I hold in high esteem, but the economics of his show were not working,' Griffin said during an appearance on CNN's 'Table for Five' on Saturday. CBS announced in July that they would be ending Colbert's late-night show at the end of the next broadcast season, citing financial reasons. However, Colbert's liberal allies believe the cancellation was political, as it came days after he criticized CBS' parent company, Paramount, for settling with President Donald Trump. Advertisement 4 Griffin said Harris decision to appear on Colbert was like 'announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of the Titanic.' CNN 'He was losing $40 million a year. He was in the Ed Sullivan Theater, which is expensive, to talk about the plight of democracy at CBS, a network that's having its own struggles right now, rather than talking about the economics of the situation and playing to something a shrinking audience that is network television, not realizing it's not where the American voters are,' Griffin, an anti-Trump Republican who voted for Harris in 2024, continued. Griffin said Harris' decision to appear on Colbert was like 'announcing your exploratory committee on the sinking deck of the Titanic.' 4 Kamala Harris waving on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. CBS via Getty Images Advertisement CNN data analyst Harry Enten dismissed Harris' comments during the interview about a broken system. 'Recently, I made the decision that I just – for now, I don't want to go back in the system. I think it's broken,' Harris told Colbert after he asked about her declining a potential California gubernatorial run. 4 Harris announced on Thursday she would be releasing a book on her failed 2024 campaign. CBS 'I just can't possibly believe that someone who was attorney general for a good period of time, a United States senator for a good period of time, and then vice president for four years and then ran for president, all of a sudden believes that the best way to solve it is from being outside the system. Oh, please. Not a chance on God's green earth that that's necessarily the case,' Enten said, reacting to Harris' remarks. Advertisement 'What's probably going on is she saw what the polling numbers were, perhaps for her running for governor of California. Yes, she has left open the idea that maybe she could run in 2028 for the Democratic nomination. But I'll tell you Abby, I've looked at those numbers. She would be the weakest front-runner since 1992. So the bottom line is this, she is looking at the numbers. She knows what's cooking. And then all of a sudden, you know what? Actually, this lifelong politician, I want to be outside the system. Give me a break,' the CNN data analyst added. 4 CBS announced in July that they would be ending Colbert's late-night show at the end of the next broadcast season, citing financial reasons. CBS via Getty Images Harris announced on Thursday she would be releasing a book on her failed 2024 campaign. Harris, in a video posted to social media on Thursday, announced that her new book, titled '107 Days,' will be released in September and will provide details on what she calls 'the shortest presidential campaign in modern history.' 'I believe there's value in sharing what I saw, what I learned, and what I know it will take to move forward,' Harris said.
