The VinePair Podcast: What Happens When Restaurant Reservations Meet AI? News broke late last year about OpenTable’s implementation of artificial intelligence in its back-end reservation system. OpenTable now provides restaurants algorithmically derived information about guests, such as if they are frequently late, linger over their table, or have certain food preferences. After this came to light, a listener called in and asked us to discuss what this new information means.

The Buildout Podcast: Dear Irving Meaghan Dorman is considered a pioneer of New York City’s craft cocktail movement — but earning that title wasn’t so straightforward. Her entry point? A Craigslist ad for a mysterious new speakeasy in Chelsea called Raine’s Law Room. That gig would ultimately lead her to open an equally — if not more — celebrated bar a few years later: Dear Irving. Dear Irving became an instant classic, perfecting the Gibson, setting a new standard for guest experience, and eventually expanding to two more locations, and thus solidifying Dorman’s reputation as one of the city’s great minds in hospitality.
