We asked our eats & drinks writers, and the planners of most local beer fests and the bartenders at a number of local craft-focused pubs, but the biggest contributors to these nominations were the brewers themselves. We asked each brewery to let us know their three favorites, and if they felt like it, three favorites from among the work of other locals. Amazingly, brewers were at least as likely to recommend others as to tout their own stuff. The sense of community and respect for other brewers was really remarkable, and it was clear that for most in this local...

Live from New York, it’s Saturday night! This line, signaling the end of the Saturday Night Live cold open and start of a new episode, has marked weekends for 45 years. It’s also marked many laugh-filled moments for me personally as I watched reruns with my mom at a horribly inappropriate age. Unfortunately, as COVID-19 (coronavirus) took hold of the world — and especially of New York City, the home of SNL — production of the NBC staple came screeching to a halt.

On Feb. 15, scientists discovered a small rocky chunk that was captured by our planet’s gravity. But don’t get too excited, because it’s likely only a temporary fixture. Our planet has only one natural satellite, our moon, but for the last couple of years, there’s been another lurking out in space. Astronomers spotted what is likely a carbonaceous asteroid with the help of the Catalina Sky Survey. The mini-moon is between 6.2 and 11.5-feet (1.9 to 3.5-m) in diameter, and roughly the size of a car. Typically, temporarily captured objects, like 2020 CD3, only hang around for a brief time...
