World famous for their amazing holiday window displays, our friends (and neighbors) at Bergdorf Goodman have created The Carnival of the Animals - with each window featuring a specific material that depicts animals you’ll find on icebergs to the tropics - but rarely on Fifth Avenue. They include incredible outfits, creative taxidermy and antiques that we collected over a span of two years! If you can’t get there in person, let us help you out with a little virtual window shopping.

That’s right, Chanukah—a Jewish celebration that even a goy can enjoy, thanks to the semi-official food of the holiday: latkes, aka potato pancakes. And if you’re a true latke freak, Jewish or not, there’s a party for you: the third annual Latke Festival at BAM. (via Gothamist)

Dogs put their lives on the line every day - for their law enforcement partner, for their blind companion, for a child who is disabled, for our freedom and safety by detecting bombs and drugs and pulling victims of tragedy from wreckage.

Gifts Inspired by Amy Sedaris
Amy Sedaris is one of the funniest women on the planet! And she’s rather crafty too - she recently published a new book, “Simple Times: Crafts for Poor People,” which has plenty of innovative ideas for the holidays - and is a perfect companion to her first book “I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence.” Cool Hunting has put together a great selection of holiday gift items, inspired by Ms. Sedaris.
