Michael Hainey is an author, podcaster, and writer at large at Air Mail. We chat with him from Rome about a dinner at Catch Steak, meditative driving, lunch at Fred Segal, steak n’ eggs, when it comes to fashion, I have to be me, college at Notre Dame, Chicago, the metaphorical chicken neck, spending the month in Rome on a writers retreat, waking up at 4:30 am, it’s getting harder to curate a world through magazines now, will smart media survive in the future? And we hear about Michael’s favorite local New York restaurant.
