SIP
Gear up for the Derby today with a julep while you place your bets. If you’re lucky enough to be in Louisville this weekend, check out this guide for the best places to dine. You can also learn how each Derby horse was named here.

TRACK
You may have noticed that Iconosquare recently monetized its analytic capabilities and it’s not exactly affordable at $200 a month. Here are some inexpensive alternatives. (Edit: Iconosquare sent out an email on Saturday admitting that it may have been a little shortsighted to charge so much per month. They’ve gone back to the old version for now.)

LEARN
Hate to break it to you, but the croissant’s origins aren’t actually French. Learn more about the iconic pastry here because everyone loves a know-it-all at brunch.

WEAR
I’m on the hunt for a sexy lariat necklace. I love the length of this version.

CONTOUR

COOK
Fresh produce is the best part of summer. Make this asparagus and poached egg salad for brunch.

I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog I’m challenging myself to get through a backlog of travel photos before we book our next trip. First up, photos of the gothic York Minster. I’m not religious in the slightest but I can’t resist stunning architecture and the opportunity to climb hundreds of cathedral stairs for a city view. This one only had a single rest stop about halfway up the flight of 275 steps for a closeup view of the flying buttresses — and a waiver you had to sign before your ascent to promise you’re healthy enough to make it.

Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Hal Visiting York earlier this month put us in the Halloween spirit. While it claims to be the most haunted place in Europe and is dubbed the city of a thousand ghosts, we only encountered the wire-mesh sculptures of Ghosts in the Gardens (@the_york_bid) and the family of souvenir ghosts I brought home from @yorkghostmerchants.
