The 14 best R&B love songs of all time
No genre knows love better than R&B. The Motown songbook alone contains enough lessons of the heart to fill several medical textbooks. Sure, many great soul songs are about the dark side of love â jealousy, betrayal, breakups, etc. But thatâs not why you came to this list, is it? Itâs to find those songs that speak directly to the joy of being with someone else. Whether itâs innocent infatuation, all-consuming obsession or lustful intoxication, thereâs an awesome jam out there to communicate exactly what youâre feeling. And not all of them are of the smooth, old-school variety either. Here, weâve compiled the absolute best R&B love songs, and while youâll find plenty of â60s classics, there are several modern, chart-busting pop bangers as well. So letâs get it on, shall we?

The 55 best workout songs to play at the gym
Alright: time to get physical and also musical. Contrary to what the very ripped personal trainer at the gym keeps screaming at you, sometimes the best motivation for working up a sweat isnât the grunting encouragement of a stranger clutching a protein shake. Often, you just need the right song to get your blood pumping, your body moving and you mind in the zone. The perfect workout song is, to some extent, an elusive beast that heavily depends on what type of music youâre into: presumably there are people out there who work out to showtunes, and good for them. The unifying factor is enough energy to power the national grid, and a decently fast beat to help you keep the pace up. Beyond that, all bets are off, To help you on your fitness journey, we tapped our stable of music geeks â some of which are in much better shape than others â to scour their knowledge of hip-hop, pop, classic rock and for 55 high-energy motivators. Some may seem like pretty leftfield choices, but all of them should get your pulse racing. Strap on the sweatband and get ready to move. Written by Kristen Zwicker, Marley Lynch, Hank Shteamer, Gabrielle Bruney, Brent DiCrescenzo, Sophie Harris, Andy Kryza, Andrew Frisicano, Nick Leftley, Tim Lowery, Carla Sosenko, Kate Wertheimer, Steve Smith and Andrzej Ćukowski.

The 100 best New York songs
Like movies and books centered around the Big Apple, the best New York songs are by artists who understand the things that make NYC great and horrifying are one and the same. A great New York song is tapped into the rhythms of the city and well aware of the incredible wealth of human experience happening simultaneously across its expanse. They are songs of triumph and heartache, success and failure, love and loss. They celebrate that iconic skyline, but arenât afraid to descend to the gutter. There are thousands of songs about New York, but only a select few are timeless. Here we collect our favorite odes to the Big Apple. Youâll find anthems by New York icons ranging from Lou Reed to Jay-Z. There are broadway showstoppers and dispatches from the birth of hip-hop. Youâll find disco, hardcore, pop, punk, jazz and folk penned by outsiders and lifers alike. And if sticking all those genres and personalities together on one list about the same city seems a bit scattershot, well, youâve clearly never taken a rush-hour subway across town. Written by Sophie Harris, Adam Feldman, Steve Smith, Hank Shteamer, Marley Lynch, Andy Kryza, Sharon Steel and Jesse Serwer Listen to these songs on Amazon Music RECOMMENDED:đ The best songs about London, LA and Chicagođ¶ The best â80s songsđ The best party songs ever madeđž The best classic rock songsđș The best pop songs of all time

NYCâs best television shows: The top 25 Gotham series
To mark the much-anticipated return of Mad Men to the small screen (its sixth-season premiere airs Sunday, April 7 at 9pm on AMC), weâve compiled the most quintessentially Gotham series of all time. What makes one of NYCâs best television shows, you ask? It could be a number of thingsâcharacters with particularly New York attitudes, nontouristy shooting locations, authentic period detailsâbut we should note that weâve excluded any locally shot news and chat shows. (Sorry, The Daily Show and vintage Conan.) If any omissions rub you the wrong way, like our decision to leave off Sex and the City (weâre kidding!), let us know in the comments.

From Michael Jacksonâs 1987 video for âBadâ (directed by Martin Scorsese) to A$AP Rockyâs 2015 video for âLord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2,â artists have and continue to shoot the videos for some of their biggest hits in NYC.

Pouring Ribbons
Most big-deal cocktail dens were launched by a singular personality (see: Jim Meehan of PDT, Phil Ward of Mayahuel). Toby Maloneyâa bartending O.G. at the legendary Milk & Honey and Pegu Clubâboasts enough star power to roll out a spot on his own. But the gifted drinks slinger, along with business partner Jason Cott, recruited top cocktail talents JoaquĂn SimĂł (Death & Company) and Troy Sidle (the Violet Hour) to form something of a booze-powered Fantastic Four. The team has set up pioneering bars across the country in places like Nashville (the Patterson House) and Chicago (the Violet Hour), as well as working on consulting gigs in Gotham. Pouring Ribbons marks the all-star squadâs solo debut in New York, with one of the yearâs most exciting new drinks menus and a capacious teal-daubed barroom. DRINK THIS: The selection offers drinkers a fresh approach to picking their quaff (each $14). Each tipple is measured on two scales: refreshing to spirituous (how boozy do you take your drink?), and comforting to adventurous (do traditional or quirky flavors appeal?). In the mood for a potent classic? Try the Sweet Valley Highâsomething of a martini-negroni mash-up built with refreshing Tanqueray No. Ten gin, sweet vermouthlike Cocchi Americano, a splash of bitter Campari and floral St.âGermain. Or for something that falls in the middle, order the crisp autumnal sipper Raginâ Glory. Old Overholt rye whiskey and pear brandy form the cocktailâs base, which is brightened with lemon juice
