Description
NOTA BENE is the podcast version of a boozy lunch at Sant Ambroeus in which adviser Benjamin Godsill and Vanity Fair art columnist Nate Freeman dish fresh art world gossip from Dimes Square to Mayfair, peel back the curtain on auctions, galleries and fairs—and, critically, tell you where to eat and drink in every museum-stuffed port of call. Plus there’s a special guest each week, and we’ll roast them good regardless of how much clout they carry on the circuit. It’s NOTA BENE. Don’t close the deal until you tune in.

We then veer back to New York to discuss the White Columns benefit, the opening of new downtown sushi spot TIME and the cursed dim*s square hotel.
Edited and uploaded from 30,000 feet (in front of the wing, of course), the first few minutes are not audiophile magic but it clears up quickly (and you aren't listening to us for the sound quality anyway).
Come for the party reporting, stay for the discourse.
