Wine and food pairings have long been a part of the dining experience, but now one major consumer goods company has decided to promote the unconventional idea of choosing the food you’ll eat so as to harmonize with the soft drink you’ve picked out.
As part of a month-long promotion of its brands, beverage and snack food giant PepsiCo has created a “ghost” restaurant, Pep’s Place. Operating in conjunction with three major delivery services (Uber Eats, GrubHub, and DoorDash) and only available in selected markets, Pep’s Place, as PepsiCo’s press materials put it, “is where the cola comes first.”

New York City and the state will resume the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine made by Johnson & Johnson “immediately” at all of New York’s city and state-run vaccination sites after federal regulators lifted a temporary pause on Friday, Governor Andrew Cuomo and Mayor Bill de Blasio announced Saturday.

What s often referred to as purity culture is not the same thing as remaining sexually abstinent outside of marriage, though many conflate the two, according to Tim Keller, founder and former pastor of Redeemer Church in New York City.
Keller explained in a Facebook post that in the early church, the Christian sexual ethic â that sex was only for within a mutual, whole-self-giving, super-consensual life-long covenant â was revolutionary, given the prevailing Greco-Roman ethic of the day.
