Welcome to Blackbird Spyplane, your no. 1 source across all media for “unbeatable recon” into style, travel & culture.

In this past Tuesday’s sletter we made Major Media History with what several industry luminaries hailed as “The most unbeatable Adam Sandler interview of all time” (David Remnick, The New Yorker) and “A conversation with Adam Sandler so popping that I read it twice then closed my computer and watched Grown Ups 1 and Grown Ups 2” (Graydon Carter, Air Mail).

In today’s Spyplane we’ve got:

• Bonus NYC food intel from The Sandman himself

• Navy blue is back ??

• And more unbeatable recon
