A Restored Modernist Guesthouse in Mexico City
By Michaela Trimble
Designed by the Mexican Modernist architect and urbanist Mario Pani as a private residence, Casa Pani — a 1960s-era, single-family Estudio Atemporal in 2019. Guests enter through a whitewashed lounge with vaulted brick ceilings, over a dozen works by the American abstract painter James H. D. Brown and midcentury-inspired chairs upholstered in cream vinyl. The four rooms in the main house are accessible via a stucco staircase and feature details like a wooden partition by the Spanish Modernist designer Eugenio Escudero and arched wooden bed frames Taller Nacional , along with woven stools and shag rugs by the design firm Txt.ure that recall the designs of Luis Barragán. Both buildings offer rooftop terraces, where guests can enjoy views of the magnificent stained-glass windows of the church next door. About $150 per night, casapani.com .

Not Your Average Fleece
By Lauren Mechling
You may have noticed outdoor socializing’s de facto uniform: Santa Venetia , was after something a little different than the ones typically offered: “You see a lot of funnel-neck fleeces with company names emblazoned on the front, but it’s not my aesthetic,” she says. “I wanted a jacket that met a comfort need and a style need.” So she stitched together a checkered fleece whose cropped yet roomy Moonrise , whose patchwork pieces resemble a night sky; and the Lu, which has a checker print. Each style is offered in a variety of colors, including persimmon, sage and buff, and the pieces are sustainable, made to order in small batches from dead-stock fabric salvaged from rag mills in Los Angeles and New York. As Greenhill notes, the patterns are also well suited to being admired from a distance. “They’re bold enough that they look interesting from 10 feet away,” she says. From $195, gronkulle.com .

Yuri Shimojo Remembers the Natural Disaster of Tohoku
By Coralie Kraft
On Thursday, the Japanese artist Yuri Shimojo ’s affecting show “ Memento Mori ” makes its U.S. debut at Praise Shadows Art Gallery, a new space in Brookline, Mass., that aims to exhibit emerging and midcareer artists, as well as mentor young artistic talent in the Boston area. For Shimojo, who splits her time between New York and Kyoto, Japan, and the gallery’s owner, Yng-Ru Chen — who cut her teeth at MoMA PS 1, the Asia Society and Sotheby’s — March 11 is heavy with meaning: It marks the 10th anniversary of Japan’s deadly Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, which together claimed nearly 16,000 lives, and which inspired this body of work. When Shimojo heard news of the disaster in 2011, she was in her studio in New York and was struck by a report describing the sakura , or cherry blossom trees, blooming amid the wreckage. To soothe “Memento Mori” is on view through April 18, 313A Harvard Street, Brookline, Mass., praiseshadows.com .

Recipes From a Seasoned Restaurateur
By Kurt Soller
Since opening in 2016, Mister Jiu’s has remained one of the most exciting Chinese restaurants in the United States: an ode as much to chef Brandon Jew’s Ying Ying — his paternal grandmother — as to its neighborhood, San Francisco’s Chinatown, which he and his collaborator, Tienlon Ho, call “the birthplace of Chinese-American food” in their new cookbook, “ Mister Jiu’s in Chinatown ,” out this week. As with the restaurant that informed these recipes and techniques, Jew’s mission is to expose people to “a little of this and little of that,” whether it’s modern or traditional, American or Chinese, inspired by the Bay Area or somewhere farther afield. The result is a beautifully photographed project that’s both faithful and innovative — there’s sourdough in the green onion pancakes, peanut butter in the hoisin sauce — as well as technical yet conversational: “Cooking is really the study of water,” the authors declare when introducing a quick recipe for fried Taiwanese eggplant. But that’s not to say this isn’t a real restaurant cookbook, and there are plenty of captivating projects — a roast duck that takes nine pages to detail and around two weeks to execute — for those who’ve bored themselves with workaday quarantine cooking (or have perhaps become more skilled in the kitchen). And if you can’t bear the sight of your knives these days, the book still makes for great reading: on cultural touchstones like lazy susans and pleated pot stickers; and on a place — and one of its leading chefs — that continues to define contemporary American cuisine.
