5 Things Rachael Ray Is Loving Right Now: Eco Straws, Indian Food & More!

Recipe: Try John's Cocktail: Rubino

Mark and Deb Pellegrino opened MADE, this great bean-to-bar chocolate shop in the middle of Atlantic City, New Jersey. Everything is roasted on the premises for yummy bars like the Sea Salt and Dark Orange. 

I was recently gifted an eco-friendly FinalStraw ($25), and I'm obsessed with it. Yes, $25 might seem like a lot for a straw, but it's reusable and collapsible. Plus, it comes with a drying rack, a cleaning squeegee, and a case to put everything in. Cute + considerate = win-win! 

Lately, I've been really loving GupShup, an Indian restaurant in New York City. It's a little Bombay in the middle of the Gramercy Park neighborhood. Chef Gurpreet Singh was known for his cooking at Indian Accent in New Delhi, but this spot is more casual and fun. He does a ramen with lobster and loads of mushrooms. So good! 

Danielle Priano is a celebrity hairdresser known for doing the best ponytails. She's done Mariah Carey, Ariana Grande, and Victoria's Secret—everything. Her PS × Danielle ponytail elastics (From $7) don't damage your hair or lose elasticity.
