Ode to a Matzo Ball
I’ve never understood the appeal of a matzo ball. No great beauty, the spongy dough ball just sits there, taking up space in an otherwise nice bowl of chicken soup.

Santa Monica is set to receive $29.3 million when funding from the American Rescue Plan Act is allocated, and city leaders have proposed using the money to continue a Rent Relief Program, fund community projects and reopen City facilities and in-person services. However, local businesses say the assistance may not be enough to keep them around.
No decision will be made until City Council meets Tuesday to direct staff on how to proceed forward with the funding, but because ARPA funds can be used until December 2024, the City has a lot of flexibility in how it can use the money, according to a staff report, which suggested that Council dedicate 20 percent of ARPA direct aid funds to responding to the needs related to the Equitable and Inclusive Economic Recovery of the community.

Noah Baumbach curated a selection of Tod Papageorge’s Acropolis photos.
For the show, which runs through May 27 at Santa Monica’s Bergamot Station, Baumbach selected 16 images from the lensman’s Acropolis photo series, shot during the summers of 1983 and 84.
In March 2020, James Danziger launched an exhibition of famed photographer Tod Papageorge s Acropolis photographs at his Danziger Gallery on Fifth Avenue in New York City. The gallerist was excited to mount the show not only because he s a fan of Papageorge an influential figure in photography who served as director of Yale s graduate photography program for more than 30 years but also because it was to be the first exhibition after bringing Papageorge into the Danziger fold from another gallery.
