I grew up there! And I wrote a book about it! And say hi to my parents if you ever stop by! And if you ever get the chance to wander around uninhibited by security, there’s a free standing pyramid on the brick roof that the artist Sam Bassett used to stay in. Used to be my dream to live there.

When people come to visit New York, and they ask me for advice on things to do and see, I without fail recommend the Dream House, a long-term sound and light installation in Tribeca. Conceived by minimalist composer LaMonte Young and light artist Marian Zazeela in the 1960’s, and in its current location since the early 1990’s, the Dream House is, essentially, a room on the second story of an otherwise unremarkable downtown building, with four speakers emitting mixed frequency sine waves, in a soft glow of fuchsia light. Hearing is believing, because as you navigate the room, the interplay of frequencies makes every coordinate in the small room completely unique. Even minute movement of the body alters the perception of sound in the space. And the sound isn’t just heard, it’s felt. The Dream House predates the public’s consciousness of meditation with binaural sound, and this is quadaural! Donations are suggested, might I recommend going there and spending an afternoon or evening. Stay as long as you like!

More of a sentimental thing, but seeing some concerts in Sanders Theater and watching the sun set on the building after work every day was pretty damn magical

Collette. Zelda Fitzgerald. Eve Babitz. Elaine Dundy. Cookie Mueller (though her writing makes me seasick!!!!). Honorable mention to Nora Ephron for being a great, though neurotic, time.

Listen to me. I have spent years looking for the perfect 501 type light wash denim. I have dumped money down the drain. I've texted ex-boyfriends begging them for their cast-offs. And then? These Thalo jeans. The girlies behind Thalo remade 501s with more butt/thigh room, giving that perfect straight leg but perky butt situation. I have two pairs and since I got them I've worn them every single damn day without fail. I love you perfect Thalo jeans. I LOVE YOU!

When I work I listen to Rufus and only Rufus and only the genius albums Poses and Want One.
