Our guest on Sree’s Sunday #NYTReadalong is Alison Kosik, a former CNN/CNN International Anchor and Business Correspondent and current freelancer for ABC News. She is the author of “What’s Up With Women And Money? How to do ALL the Financial Stuff you Have Been Avoiding.”
We will be live at 8:30 a.m. ET / 1:30 p.m. GMT / 6:00 p.m. IST (Sunday morning in the US, Sunday afternoon in the UK and Sunday evening in India). If you miss the show, you can always watch the replay, right on this page.
About the Book
From the description of the book, "Alison found herself trapped in a failing marriage. The savvy mother of two, was terrified to leave her husband. Why? She didn’t have the confidence to take on big financial decisions on her own. Despite spending her working hours explaining financial and business concepts, she had allowed her husband to take charge of all their big money decisions ― from buying a house and how to finance it to their investments and retirement savings ― and had no clue how to do any of it on her own.
It sounds crazy, doesn’t it?
But Alison is far from atypical.
It turns out plenty of educated and high-achieving women ― married or single ― avoid getting involved with managing their financial lives. In What’s Up With Women and Money? Alison gives a step-by-step action plan on a variety of money topics. Alison also interviews dozens of women who share their cautionary tales of why avoiding money decisions can lead to bad outcomes."
NYT 100 Restaurants
The New York Times has a special section in this week's paper, "The 100 Best Restaurants in NYC." The first 10 are listed in order. The rest are listed alphabetically. The number one restaurant is Semma, in Greenwich Village. Here is the write-up by Priya Krishna:
"New York is teeming with Indian restaurants. Yet before Semma, a deeply personal tribute to the chef Vijay Kumar’s (top right) upbringing in the South Indian state of Tamil Nadu, the city’s diners had never seen Indian food like this. Punctuated with chiles, coconut and earthy curry leaves, Sem-ma’s flavors are lingering and loud, yet restrained. Its dosa is the best in the city: a crisp specimen heady with fermentation and slicked with ghee and fiery gunpowder spice. Semma altered the course of Indian dining here. Four years on, Mr. Kumar’s food continues to feel fresh."

We will be taking Father’s Day (June 15) off. Our next show will be June 22, featuring Sarah Hamdan, author of “What Will People Think.”
